    I want to play a game, not open my computer to massive vulnerability and I don't know who's control. No game merits "root-level" control.

    The short version is pretty easy. The developers felt it was their right to remove the ability to play without the anti-cheat software (nProtect GameGuard), they have a setting for this on the server which is now apparently decorative because it doesn't do anything. Sorry, I don't trust giving kernel level access to a game from China, but thanks for asking.

    Myth of Empires offers a huge amount of content, maybe even too much – but it’s presented in such a chaotic and poorly explained way that you constantly need to look up guides or videos just to understand the basics. ✔ Pros: • Extremely rich world with lots of potential. • Strong focus on crafting, building, and co-op gameplay. ✘ Cons: ❗ Confusing Crafting & Structures  • Multiple workbenches for armor, weapons, different cages, and various building types – no clear explanation of what each…

    This game is similar to Conan Exiles, but... the AI ​​is very stupid, this type of AI was good maybe 10 years ago, but now it's not funny anymore. The combat is very slow. I played on a PVE server, you always have to collect a lot of resources, the tools break too quickly and you have to collect resources again to make new tools. You work very hard to create something, to build a house. Today I came back from two days of work and all my horses are dead, the house is dilapidated. No... this is…

    Getting past the name, which sounds like a mobile Age of Empires clone, i didn't last 3 hours playing this game. And I concede, that's an unfair length of time to judge a game. The screenshots and trailers make this game look so awesome. But it has possibly the worst UI and menu systems I've ever seen in a game. To overuse the trope - it was unplayable for me. It's all the more frustrating because I'd been pining for an Asian-inspired survival/craft game for ages. Buy Sengoku Dynasty when it's…

    When I first bought this game when it originally came out I thought it was unique and loved the grind. The Leveling system was very unique. But after returning to the game I've noticed how terrible its gotten. There are only usually 500-2k players on at any given time. The market is dead, the lag is horrible and the advanced clans have blocked off the late game materials on the pve servers so there is no real progression....

    seriously, stay away and safe yourself the money, this piece of ♥♥♥♥ is so littered with bugs and unfinished mechanics one might think it's an absurdly early "early access" title, while in reality it's a "fully released" game with DLC, a cash shop (with actual ingame benefits) and skins slapped on... not to forget that the developer doesn't give a flying horse sh!t about fixing anything or even trying to give any kind of support, they won't even react to direct pings on their discord server…

    Man this game sucked. What's even the point of having a jump button if you can't even clear a 1 inch high slab or foundation. Can't stack foundations on top of each other, but if you run into higher ground while snapping foundations together you just can't build there, Well what the h are you supposed to do then? Sorry, just can't build any further. You have to start an entire new building if you want to build on ground that's 1 inch higher than the ground you placed your original…

    This game had so much potential to be something special, but the devs apparently would rather release dlc to milk more money, than to actually fix the bugs that have existed since release. Unplayable, way better games out there, don't waste your time or money.

    I don't know if this game is even still alive to tell you the truth. It's good to play if you already have a group, but grinding for stats is very bad. Guilds have stats, and these matter more than personal stats. A player from a big guild will 1 shot a friendgroup guild from across the map. The moral of the story is this: the zergs win in the chinese pvp game

    Looks good, plays like hot garbage. Play on a PVE server where a couple other people go out of there way to grief players and ruin the experience. You'll spend 70% of your time just trying to upkeep your base if you intend to do any regular fighting as the durability of all items is very bad, you'll kill 5 - 10 people your level before youll need to replace your weapons and those weapons will be costly to make. Don't be fooled by the amazing cinematography in the introduction video on…

    Had high hopes for quite a while and had hoped by now it would have improved. The walker things seem sick as hell. Logged in, created my character to the 1 trillion decibel menu music, and was confronted with the fact you literally have to buy DLC to play on the only NA PVP server lmfao. In addition, it seems to be mostly dead. Quite a shame.

    A game that needs to be seriously streamlined, debugged, fixed. It's like a studio released a game still in Alpha and then provides it little support or DLCs. This could have been good. It's not. Most servers are dead.

    I had no idea about this game. I’m really into sandbox PvP MMORPGs like Darkfall, Mortal Online 2, UO, etc., so I’m loving this so far! I saw a review about the new free version with seasons, but... a wipe in an MMORPG every 3 months? No way. I like building things and making progress that lasts. I want to be able to take a 1-year break, come back, and still have my progression. With seasons, that’s just not possible. That’s when I found out about the actual original game, and it was only…

    My friend and I are giving it the ol' college try. There are things to like such as building, grinding can be relaxing but this is too much. Example: After stone you start making brass weapons. You have to go out and collect mad copper. You collect the copper and come back and get a 4/1 ratio ore to bar (btw it weighs a lot and the iron ore is worse). So, you have to smelt which costs wood that you have to get (and make the smelter which is fine but yeah more farming). THEN, you make your…

    I really like the progression system and the fresh approach to many aspects of the open-world survival crafting genre. But when it comes to UX, especially for solo players, this game is one of the worst I've played. - In a local solo game, you're basically treated as an admin by default, and the game doesn't even try to hide it. For example, I can just teleport anywhere by clicking on the map. I also don't drop anything when I die. It makes the whole experience feel less like a properly…

    This is a great game. If you like playing PVE on your own server, and like Conan/Ark/Aska/Valheim/Soulmask, you will like this game. It will take some tweaking to "right size" the server for your play. There is an almost overwhelming depth. (Think wuxia.) There is fortress building (including siege machinery), skills, crafting recipes (tech tree), civilization skills, cooking, potions, pills, spirits (alcohol), arts, professions, achievements, nobility. the taming of horses and multiple…

    All I can say is, the combat and movement is so clunky and just outright BAD, that I had to refund it. You'd think this was a game built in the 90s. Movement is slow, not smooth at all, everything feels like it's delayed by 1-2 seconds or longer. I've played just about every survival game on the market, this has the worst combat I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing lol. Save your money and get a different game.

All character movements are slow: swapping weapons, mounting horse, running, walking, archery. Npcs are a pain to talk to. UI is horrible. Lacking major QOL options. Edit: Now fought some bandits.

    This game has massive potential but needs major QoL updates. I don't understand how there is 4 DLCs when they can't even get stuff like the tattoo resolution correct on the character creator. There is a giant lack of consistency on how buildings and structures work. No consistency on item costs for crafting. There is so many confusing things that are not explained and menus inside of menus. I don't think ti's a translation issue either it's just not really explained well. Stuff like…

Also and mandatory for me to play, is pve with old friends, not in the mood to waste time, rented a server and good to go, i kept some of my best friends from lanparties cs/bf1942/aoe.
