Amazon is hot garbage. Bans people for no reason. Bunch of monke developers that have peanut brains. They should kill their games and go back to releasing basic dumb Amazon video and shopping.

EDIT 10/20: Unbanned again. SS on Steam Profile.

EDIT 9/20: Was unbanned and then rebanned 10 mins later. Check steam profile for screenshots. Been playing this game on another steam account with no problems on same PC and game install.

The game itself is decent. The endgame PVP and PVE is good. War and open world PVP is super fun. There isn't much variety in mobs, not much voice acting, story is left in the dark and forgotten, quests are grindy, and city ownership harbors a rampart RMT black market (which Amazon ignores). I spent almost 2k hours and over $500 in cosmetics during the past year. I had a good amount of fun grinding the repetitive content and rolling hundreds of gear rolls to never get what I want. The latest end game content kept this game from dieing and new expeditions and mutators added new challenges. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the game and purchased another copy to play with friends more, but am extremely frustrated as you will soon read.

Unfortunately for no reason whatsoever I got banned, which is a common occurrence. I got auto permed (for "disruptive behavior") once for exploring new servers to transfer to and creating and deleting characters too fast. Was later unbanned after submitting hundreds of tickets and waiting for months. Banned again for abusive chat for 1 day for defending myself in chat. Finally banned for "cheating" on 8/31 for updating drivers and following steps on forums (repair EAC, drivers, bios, repair game) because game kept auto closing after 10 mins. They banned me last time before I was even logged into the game. Now my 12 year perfect steam account is marked with a developer ban for their poor game and support. The appeal system is very bad. You are guilty until proven innocent and you can't provide any evidence or argument to prove innocence.

Almost every one of my friends has been banned at least once for many reasons, few I have compiled: Find an exploit = banned. Chat directly to someone anything they deem offensive even when it isn't = banned. Abuse glitches which are unfixed for months = banned. Accidentally glitch once or twice = banned. Report too many bots = banned. Create too many characters within a time period = banned. Talk about anything involving money in any context = banned. Funny thing is this game has a huge bot presence due to how profitable RMT is and I have seen bots active for months unscathed.

If you do any searches on Google you will quickly find that Amazon Game Studios themselves are horrible and unsuccessful in almost every game released. Amazon Game Studio is run by sexist frat boys (check google they have a "bro culture" at AGS) who don't care for good content or the voice of the community. Their support is outsourced to the most brain dead people. I've submitted many tickets and they always send canned "Lost Ark" messages for clear "New World" issues. If AGS ever wants to create a successful game they need to clean house of all existing employees and hire new best in class team members.

This review might get removed even though it is my free speech and is not offensive (no cursing), but I don't really care much anymore.

Fun casual dungeon crawling and shop management game. 11/10

Brings back the old days playing this game on my 386 PC.
Love that someone revived this game for modern computers.

Why is this 800mb download when this game used to be on one 3.25 floppy disk. Even if it is the three chapters, 3 x 1.44MB = 4.32MB. WTH is this over 800MB then.

Game is total and utter trash. When you first launch the game you are shown a crappy menu with 4 buttons on a static screenshot of the game. Starting up a new game, the game freezes and loads for almost 2 mins even with a SSD. When it finally loads you get a slow and laggy intro movie with horrible animations and special effects. After the movie is over the game then loads once again, introducing you to a slow moving camera overview. When first playing I had a hard time seeing around me due to the dense crappy frozen fog effects. Once I ran through the series of doors, I lost control of my player and once again it switched to a slow moving camera of the first mob you will attack. When attacking the mob it takes like 5 minutes to finally kill him with only more mobs being spawned. Until you either run out of ammo and die or get bashed by mobs that seem to spawn behind you.

Pros:
Unreal 5
Great music
Loved the first movie with the plot unfolding

Cons:
No tutorials
No help or key information
Crappy effects
Horrible blocky graphics
Unrefined game

Yesh

Best game ever!!!

Its a fun game with simple controls, hard challenges, and really good music.
