Even after 5k hours I really enjoy playing this game.

Thanks to developers the game receives updates 3-4 times per year (and some players even say it's too often xD). New territories, new storylines, new dungeons and items. There are not many MMORPGs that can boast such support even 8 years after release.

First of all I think it's better to to mention that this game is quite unique in ganre. It is more about story and questing than most other MMOs. Remember you played LA2, AA, BD? You took the quest for killing 20 mobs? After that you took another quest for killing 30 mobs? And again and again... So, in ESO you can forget about such quests. No monster grinding. Here you will be asked to find some lost items, solve puzzles or defeat strong monster. Of course, you will have to kill some mobs during the quest, but mostly it will be 3-5 mobs. Instead of killing hundreds of monster you will more often speak with different NPCs or read books. Every quest (even a little one) will have at least several stages. I thinks that quest system here is much better then even in WoW.
There are a lot of different and interesting NPCs, and some of them you will meet in different regions, so you will understand from the beginning what you need to prepare for. For ex. when you meet Rigurd, Nord diplomat, you already know that he got into some trouble (again...). Or you meet Naryu and you already understand that someone need to be silenced.
Most of the quests are not mandatory, so you complete only quests you like.

Another big part of the game are dungeons. There are several types of them: caves and public dungeons (which can be completed both in solo or party); 4-people dungeons; solo trials and 12-people trials (last 3 can be completed on several difficulty levels). In all dungeons, you'll get cool items like weapons or armor, various achievements, and even cosmetics like mounts or metamorphoses.

And if you prefer PvP you can visit Battlegrounds (for 4x4x4 battles) or Imperial city and Cyrodiil for mass battles. Cyrodiil is a big open region with a lot of villages and castles which you have to capture. Battle for a castle with 20-30 people from every side and with different siege weapons looks really fun, you should definitely try it!

So, for the conclusion I want to mention the fact that developers are constantly adding new cool features like treasure hunting, companions system and even card game inside the main game. So you will definitely find something interesting for yourself. And I hope that the game will continue to develop in the future!

If you like MMORPG - you should definitely try this one. For me it's 10/10

UPDATE :
2k hours has passed since my review and this game still never ceases to amaze me. In this season (year 2023) developers added a lot of cool quality of life features, such as Grand Master crafting stations or Group Finder. We are also have new big zone, new dungeons and trial, new companions and a lot of other stuff which will not make you bored.

Definitely 10/10 and Labor of Love award on Steam!
