First and foremost I would like to start with the fact that my significant other hates this game due to the amount of time I put into it. It is quite a commitment if you are looking to keep up with all the content available like any other MMO. That being said, I myself greatly enjoy it. The background story is a pretty standard, "collect x artifacts to save the world" but the NPCs are varied and are pretty interesting. You spend a lot of time with a central cast but there are a whole roster of them to learn about through various interactions.

The game-play is fast paced and fluid but I would be wary of ping issues if you're from outside the server area. High pings can potentially contribute to some content being harder to get through. There are multiple classes which have varying builds and play-styles. While there is a "meta" build for each class, there's enough classes at this point that you will most likely a class that you will find enjoyable to play. The game is also regularly adding new classes as it catches up to its Korean counterpart which is several years ahead in content.

Please be aware that this is not a brand new game as it is just a NA/EU release of a longstanding Korean MMORPG. As such, the standard grind is innately part of the game and something you either enjoy, or tolerate, to play this game for an extended period of time. End game content at this point is sufficient for me but is really carried by the fact that I play with friends. I imagine trying to solo queue all the content in the game is possible but would become tiring at some point.

All in all, this is a good MMORPG in an ocean of similar products. It's grindy but not you can get to all the content without having to spend any real cash. Even the main point of the game, skins, are possible to attain with in game currency. If you have some time to commit to the game, it's well worth the investment, especially if you have a fun group to do content with. It's a solid 8/10.
