After sinking 80 hours SOLO into playing Runescape Dragonwilds, I have discovered some Pros and Cons of this early access title, and would love to share my thoughts!

Starting with the GOOD and FUN things about the game.
- This game is beautiful. Bright colours with great environmental effects of the world.
- Combat feels awesome and a little souls like, love the parry mechanic.
- Building in this game is very addictive the way everything snaps is a builders dream, you can build basically anywhere!
- The armour designs and Masterwork weapons are a great touch, very Nostalgic!
- Spells feel natural to the game i really enjoyed using different spells to overcome certain fights or even travelling, finding secret caves, and hidden areas.
- Quests and side quests are limited but short and sweet!
- Vaults are unique, some of them can be quite challenging but overall engaging and super fun!
- Having 3 different attack styles (Melee, Ranged, Magic) makes the game fun in way where u can chose what style you want to traverse the map or how you want to approach certain enemy's.
- Loved the soundtrack and music!

Now we can discuss the BROKEN, BAD and UGLY!
- The Dragon attacks feel unnecessary and pointless, also the fact that he still fly's around after you KILL HIM is very strange! The dragon attacks forced tons of people to build in the starter zone (Tier 1) with limited areas to build, because of the constant barrages from Velgars poison attacks if you build in Bramble wood or any (Tier 2) or higher zones. I understand seeing him fly over from time to time, it can add ambience to the game, but it is a very annoying mechanic to deal with and you cant do much about it.
- The amount of times you have to SLEEP and EAT in this game is a bit overwhelming , being a survival crafting game i understand the challenges and intensity of these games but my god i felt like i needed to sleep, eat, drink almost every 10 minutes ! It was quite exhausting at times.
- Although this game had great visuals it was verrry blurry felt like i had motion blur on in tons of areas.
- Spells take way to long to cast, especially if you are trying to put up a tempest shield or even as small as a building spell it takes forever in scenarios where u need it fast!
- Lacks content and needs wayy more things to do. After i did the main story quest and killed the dragon there is not much left to do except going out and searching for masterwork weapons, armour and decoration items if you are a collector .
- Some resources are quite hard to come by especially Harralander, very limited herb to come by and is essential if you want to make weak anti poisons to travel through the Bloodblight Swamps.
- Lacks two skills such as Hunting and Farming. Two of the most important skills in any crafting survival game which too me IMO should have already been released early access, i think it will help with the resource inefficiency.
- Travelling in this game on foot can be a daunting task especially if you have to go back to your loot in a areas that are guarded by high tier enemies can get frustrating if you don't have Waystones set up in your favour!
Would be nice to see some sort of movement speed spell so i don't have to rely on placing a Waystone in every corner of the map.
- Last thing "Bad" about this game is the lack of enemy variety, tons of the areas had similar enemies and to be honest the only thing that made me feel like i was in a different area was the Environmental effects. For example, in the Stormtouched zone it felt dark and dangerous with lightning smacking the ground but no new enemy's around so it did killed the feels of exploring something new ! Not a fan of seeing the same enemies in a different biome.

VERDICT

Runescape Dragonwilds was super fun! Great combat system, not to mention the soundtrack and music was beautiful along with the visuals very colourful and bright ! Engaging vaults/ dungeons, killing bosses finding new masterworks with Friends or even Solo will be worth your money and time ! THIS IS A CRAFTING SURVIVAL GAME IT IS NOT RUNESCAPE ! If they added more skills, more spells, and a ton of new content this game will thrive but right now it does lack a few elements and could use some optimization!
I personally loved this game but to continue following up and playing I think speaking on behalf of the community it needs to push out content fast and make the xp drops smaller so we can get excited about new skills and spells. Tons of potential, keep COOKIN JAGEX!

FINAL SCORE - 7.5/10

Игра интересная, но очень сырая. За 10 часов не напрягаясь прошел, можно в два раза быстрее. Контента вообще нет, даже не базовый для выживача.
1. 3-4 оружия на каждый класс
2. Магии для атаки практически нет
3. Локаций мало и они маленькие
4. Данжи однотипные
5. Есть особый шмот, но он как правило не чем не отличается, просто внешний вид (за исключением хлыста, единственный глоток свежего воздуха в этой игре)
6. Для мага и лучника вообще нет перков для прокачки
7. Мало вариаций постройки дома
8. Враги однотипные и слабые (но агрятся сразу толпой и видят тебя со 100 метров, вечно спавнятся на порталах)
Но в целом мне понравилась игра, не рекомендую к покупке из-за отсутствия контента, его прям реально мало, в других выживачах раннего доступа намного больше контента

no pos reviews untill they ADD F PAUSE IN SOLO GAME IS IT HARD???
