[UPDATE] Oct 3, 2024

The P2W aspect may be slightly less forced in PVE than other MMOs SK has put out in the last decade, but I assure you the P2W is there. The shills can just cope until the game dies. My point stands that this game is one of the most soulless experiences I've had in years. Give me my 100% and let me GTFO.

PS: Didn't spend a dime.

Lost Ark PTSD Simulator

Bland story, lack of memorable characters, lackluster quests, janky combat, Ubisoft-level interface with flashy lights + SFX to make you "think" you're making awesome progress until they hit you with the P2W monetization.

Out of 100 players, I guarantee 100 players are not reading any of the dialogue. Mash F to skip, just as we broke the G key last year.

Final Verdict: D+
Another yawn MMO of post-2020. Disappointed in my own country for being so money-hungry all the time and getting in bed with Amazon (AGAIN). /shrug
