What people are saying
Deep and rewarding but punishing for new players.
Many players praise EVE Online for its unparalleled depth and complexity, calling it the deepest game they have ever played. They highlight the rewarding experience of mastering its economy and logistics, with some describing it as a second life that provides adrenaline rushes even after thousands of hours. [1][13][15]
However, a significant number of players criticize the game for its steep learning curve and toxic community. They complain about frequent ganking by veteran players, multiboxing, and a lack of support for new players, with some calling the free-to-play model misleading. [7][21][22][23][28][33]

I posted on an Eve forum recently about my criticisms and experience as a new player, as I understood the game has an incredibly high attrition rate for new players. The result was me getting insulted, made fun of and even being reported to the suicide…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One thing that is fascinating about EVE Online (which I played years back, but have not for a long time) is that the experience of the game is very different depending on if you're in a major 0.0 alliance or not and where in the structure of the 0.0 alliance you are.
unlabelledView post →And then I just hit a cut scene that I’m like “a WhWHAT the actual FUCK, GAME?!” I feel like Blue Prince is going to be like Eve Online for a lot of people, where you don’t want to deal with the grindy bits personally, but the story is utterly FASCINATING, so you’ll catch a recap and that’s fine.
unlabelledView post →"Free to Play" is a joke and the player count is completely misleading. I really wanted to give this game a fair shot, but the way it presents itself to new players is just dishonest. Here is what you're actually getting into: 1. The player count in the launcher is a lie When you start the game, the launcher shows 20,000 to 30,000 "online players". What they don't explicitly tell you is that these are logged-in accounts, not real people. EVE heavily encourages multiboxing—running multiple…

With a blurb at the end. #1, It is not a game it is an environment to harm others for personal gain/satisfaction. 2 seconds can ruin your EVE experience permanently. #2, The players that stay in this game are toxic. Bash New players cause they can. if you hear "great community" it is a lie. You will be bashed until you join a corporation as the game is designed for your money to go to the black hole of a much…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gave it a good college try. Spent over 150+ hours playing. Doing my best to learn. Taking things slow but by god this game is horrible for new players and even worse for new players trying to get into more advanced parts of the game. There is no good website or wiki that can give you straight answers to any questions you might have and any that they do are a roll of the dice as there has been so many changes that they may not apply anymore. You have to hope that years ago someone on reddit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best way to describe EVE: "Legendary Past, Outdated Future." Every gamer knows EVE, has played EVE or had it in their backlog for years if not decades. I stumbled upon the 6 hour long Down the Rabbit Hole video about EVE by Fredrik Knudsen and finally decided to give this game a try. EVE is a triple-A MMO made by Icelandic developers in a different era for a different audience. It is not some poor indie passion project or a modern live-service slop. EVE is old, uncompromising and refuses to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me preface that I've played Eve before +- 13 years ago. I've flown Navy Megathrons, Raven Navy Issues, tried out the planetary industrial part of the game, as well as the hacking 'minigame', scanning/probing, enjoyed drone warfare, skilled into T2 Exploration ships, massively enjoyed the exploration and thrill that came with it back then. It felt great! But hooooly crap, did Eve Online change a lot since then. It seems to be hand-crafted and tailored into a platform that mainly focuses…

unlabelledView post →Most hilarious ad I saw about this game said like "BUY THIS SPECIAL PACK AND YOU CAN SKIP 4 WEEKS OF TRAINING AND JUMP RIGHT IN THE ACTION" Maybe it's just me but a game that normally takes 4 weeks to get into the action is not really a well designed game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiboxing is a cancer in this game. Die-hard fanboys, vets, and MULTIBOXERS are a catastrophe for this game (3, 4, 5,+ accounts, fully developed, BLOCK you doing anything meaningful alone in this game, pure bullying...). Do not start playing and wasting your time, especially your money, on this doomed, unfair, developer-money-grab so-called game. Not to mention the mechanics and graphics from a quarter-of-a-century ago (e.g. undocking blocks your screen , etc.). In short: Strongly DO NOT…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah its open PVP game and exactly what it entails - small hardcore groups heavily invested in game for years. Random ganking at any given time & kill on sight unless you join some ancient alliance using thier convoluted websites and application processes. For new people its fun at start in high-sec experiencing game mechanics and such but experience goes dull very quickly. The game is not hard but just very dull in terms of repetition. It may look like its hard steep learning curve but its…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a returning EVE player with 2000+ hours logged that aren't displayed on Steam. Played extensively in 2010-2011, a little in 2016-2017, and recently came back. This game is kind of a joke now. CCP has effectively created a game that caters to the whales to the detriment of the game itself. If they make changes to improve the health of the game, such as banning multi-boxing, they argue it will cause an exodus of players, and it will. All the people running 20 accounts at the same time will…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don’t really like the community. This game doesn’t reward your time. Well, it can, but the community makes sure it doesn’t. Everything takes a long time to do, but stealing/ganking is easy and fast. Y’all have fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine thinking the problem with EVE Online is that people are struggling with the controls and not the fact that the game is based on sociopathic predation for items that can be exchanged for real world cash.
unlabelledView post →what can i say, i started playing the game, realised i was never going to be able to afford better ships / weapons as i had to keep spending the paltry amount i earnt on replacing my ships etc after being ganked by players with over a decade of experience with top level ships killing me. basically you cannot get ahead because most veteran players do not want you to. the learning curve is not a steep learning curve, it's a vertical wall, cannot understand why the devs would want to make it so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can no longer in good faith recommend wormhole space to anyone seeking enjoyable gameplay. It promises a mysterious frontier of riches and thrilling PvP, yet it's ruled by blowhard multiboxing veterans who treat EVE like a full-time career, running 5-10 accounts with Tripwire maps and premium intel tools to trap and farm noobs like me who just wanted a relaxing scan after work. Casual or solo pilots get podded with zero warning and zero fair fights.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There has been an ongoing joke in EVE since 2003 that “EVE is dying”. Fast forward 23 years later and it’s still not true. Not because EVE is “alive” but because it is straight up dead, figuratively speaking of course.This is where you bust out the EVE offline charts, post PDFs with quarterly earnings, and say I’m wrong. I’m fine with all that but at the same time fire up the game, log in, and actually play to see what I mean. If you’re a veteran player chances are you do A LOT of stuff solo…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games are meant to be enjoyable and an experience, this is just a waste of time, energy and money to even get an inkling of enjoyment. What I once thought was a game of exploration, logistics and found camaraderie has been whittled down to getting griefed by trolls and forced PVP.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing on and off since ALPHA in 2002. The game was much much better back then, now it's almost entirely multi boxxing bots. for over 10 years now curse is nothing but vexor bots. CCP refuses to do anything about it. Game is ruined for normal players when botters ruin the market. They refuse to make the game playable for normal people EDIT The developer response is lying. Anyone can check zkillboard and verify the bots are still everywhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have the ISK and the skills to fly almost anything in the game, but I’ve realized there’s absolutely no point. I wanted to play EVE as a true multiplayer game where you manage and interact with real people. Instead, it’s a sandbox for multiboxers. It’s not "Massively Multiplayer" when every "person" you see in a system is just an alt of the guy you’re already talking to. You aren't competing against a community; you're competing against one person running ten accounts like a hive mind.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been playing this game (off steam) for nearly 17 years. Lived in nullsec, lowsec, highsec, and wormhole space. I can say fairly confidently, it is now more than ever not for casual or new players. It was never meant to be easy, but it was meant to be a sandbox...that is now essentially a PvP grief simulator in high sec meant to either pipeline you to a nullsec corp or force you to multibox numerous accounts. Multi-box ganking definitely helped kill this game from what it was. They…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really tried to like this game. Spent over 30 hours just learning the ropes and finally got myself to a point where i felt like i was finally starting to progress. However this game is filled with extremely bad mannered and extremely bored players that will literally sit at gates and kill newbies for no reason other than something to do, so i just lost all my money and my ship and have nothing left. I guess im just supposed to roll over like a good little ♥♥♥♥♥ and accept that loss as the…

I spent 30 hours just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ staring at my screen, trying to understand what the hell I'm even supposed to do?! How do I even play? How everithingh works? WTF IS THIS INTERFACE?! Why are half of the features not even working or haven't been explained to you in the damn tutorial? I was hoping it would be a free-to-play space RPG, a big platform for roleplaying and cooperation. But instead, it ended up being a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a player that comes back every few years for about 20 years, I cannot recommend this game to new players. The developers, CCP, are terribly led and continue to make horrible gameplay decisions. The game is getting worse. Also, this is the absolute worst game you could imagine for a new player to get into. All skills (which are required for everything*) are gated behind real world training time. But don't worry, you can spend hundreds to thousands of real world dollars for the privilege of…

They even know and laugh about it in fact... pretend otherwise. Then play and see for yourself. They will even fabricate a killright on you out of thin air (I experienced this and they did absolutely NOTHING to fix it)

Yes the PVP newbie ganks are the HELL in this game for new players. You can do gas hauling and trading or fixed courses for some time but there are more exciting things and to get to those is really tricky with the trollers unless you join a good guild and find people who would join you and cover for you. At least that was my experience.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EVE Online is probably the deepest and most complex game you'll ever play. Very broadly speaking you might enjoy this game if you enjoy any of the following genres: Economy/business/trade games (X4, Offworld Trading Company, Runescape) Factory/logistics games (Factorio, Transport Fever, Anno) Truck/cargo simulators (Euro Truck Simulator, Star Trucker) Space combat/piracy (Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen) Space mining (Elite: Dangerous) Empire building/politics (Stellaris, sort of) Dystopian…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even back in the old days, and i mean really old, Trinity old, the subscription model was a hard sell for the pace of the game. Doesnt matter how much you play, you can only advance as fast as the training allows. Now nearly 20 years later the only thing that has changed is that subscription has gotten more expensive. Sure you play the filler cannon fodder role for free now but thats about all you can do. No industry, no mining, no economics. No specialized roles such as stealth bombing or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just not a good game to get into as a new player. If you try to do anything solo you will just get constantly destroyed. I really regret putting any money into this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have spent 2,000 hours in this game and 1,900 of them were spent staring at a spreadsheet while orbiting a cold rock in deep space. In real life, I can barely manage my own bank account, but in EVE, I am a logistics officer for a multi-national corporate entity that controls an entire star system. I have been part of space battles so large they literally slowed down the flow of time, all because someone accidentally bumped a gate or forgot to pay a virtual utility bill. I once spent three…

Anyway, it captivated me a lot with its openness and truly what felt like endless space with endless possibilities, I fell in love with this game, back then the giants like BoB and Zombies ruled the land, Russians and their Red Army alliance and Swarm fought brutal wars in zero sec to capture resources and establish bases. It was great fun, the Dynamic politics of the eve universe…

The rest is a bottomless pit. I won’t even start with the industry behind this thing — the money people dump into “China farming” or PLEX is unbelievable. How can people be this blind and this dumb? Every so-called “patch” or “event” gets hyped like it’s revolutionary, yet nothing ever changes. It’s the same old mess,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR - Kind of a mixed bag. It's not a terrible game but the devs are constantly trying to force combat PVP onto players that want no part of it. Most game mechanics are geared toward this and it gets very tiresome very fast. It's like it's their only goal and any expansions or new features almost completely ignore players that aren't mouth-frothing psychopaths. The latest Catalyst expansion is a good example. Sure it added some stuff and made some changes to mining that were sorely needed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was better, and worse, 15 years ago. In order to do most things efficiently the game has now been designed to cater to multi boxers. The social experience from the past is much smaller than before because of this (IMO) Game is still very fun, and the addition of ways to get SP other than wait is fantastic for new players. Long term, there are now more problems than many years ago. Fun game, cannot recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love it when old game code goes open source on GitHub because it's fun to search for profanities. The rendering engine for EVE Online recently went online and they did a profanity search after they went public, so an account called ccp-intern was tasked with fixing it. github.com/carbonengine...

These are things I think would make a data analyst or archivist excited, not a gamer, they aren't wrong; there is math and there are great stories but you did not type in math simulator in the steam search and you also aren't in a library looking to read someone else's story... So, let me tell you as a gamer why I would recommend this game to anyone who likes the idea of a more consequence driven MMO than…

Time-dilation is still a HUGE problem and the devs just hide their head in the sand about it (they even have a policy of not assisting players if something weird happened while on Ti-Di... if that's not acknowledgement-and-disregard of a problem, I don't know what is). If you're not multiboxing (running multiple accounts simultaneously), you're not useful. They also decided to let players from…

You mine less with one account, you can bypass this limit with alts. Trading? You are rewarded for having phisical presence in station/region by being…

You have to have sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies when it comes to ruthlessness to be someone who plays the game long-term.
