    Lost Ark feels like a reward after so many hashed-out and rocky launches of new games. You know what you’re getting with Lost Ark, it’s an experience that has already been through the tests and tribulations of its first two years of content. Its story won’t speak to everyone, but the endgame experience is worth a few cutscenes here and there. Lost Ark is one of the most polished titles I’ve played for some time, especially an MMO.

    A superb dungeon crawler that's held back from perfection by some crude monetisation practises and half-baked dialogue.

    Lost Ark is probably the best free-to-play MMO you can play today. It has an addictive combat system and the campaign is extremely long and you can complete that with or without friends. The only problems come with the ending that appears too intricate and difficult to understand completely.

    Despite the lacking narrative and unexcitingly standard progression systems, it’s easy to see people getting completely lost—if you’ll pardon the pun—in Lost Ark. It’s a game packed to the brim with content, collectibles, and systems, but more importantly than that, it’s made certain those systems are fun to go through…Visible effort went into nearly every avenue of the game, making it an easy recommendation even if it doesn’t bring much innovation to the space. The quality of the combat and the variety of content on offer elevates this ARPG experience to be a cut above the rest. The only thing you can stand to lose in trying out Lost Ark is time, and even in a gaming landscape defined by competition for said time, it’s absolutely worth giving a gander.

    So long as you're willing to play by its rules, Lost Ark it is an absolute blast thanks to its perfect blend of visceral ARPG combat and steady MMO progression.

    Lost Ark offers some supremely satisfying combat with some souped-up Diablo-esque sensibilities but it’s also quite the grind to see what the game really offers. Don’t count on it feeling like a regular open-ended MMO as this one feels tightly entrenched in its endgame focus. Fun it may be for a time, it soon turns into effort that makes you less keen to keep on returning.

    Dont understand the negative reviews here. This game is by far one of the best games ive played in 10 years. Yes there are some server issues,Dont understand the negative reviews here. This game is by far one of the best games ive played in 10 years. Yes there are some server issues, but the combat is really amazing and has dept. Its not just pressing 4 buttons like people say, if that is what you are doing you clearly lack skill.

    Enjoy this game, its amazing.

Dungeons feel dynamic and all classes feel distinct from each other. Oh, and the best part is that the main story quests are very easy and very quick, they get you from one area to another all while teaching you the basics of the game. The people complaining are from EU lol, but if you’re not, you’re going to absolutely enjoy this game and the zero queue times! Expand

    The game looks and feels like a cheapo p2w mobile crap. I wonder why the Autoplay button isn't there. Don't waste your time.

    Another queue simulator from Amazon. But while you in queue I highly recommend to do a research on official forum to choose the right server,Another queue simulator from Amazon. But while you in queue I highly recommend to do a research on official forum to choose the right server, because game don't show you server language and some servers are already occupied by some language communities. And still this western version don't have full content from original. I think this game will die after some month so better register on Russian servers (they have english language). Expand
