"A few bugs and balance issues aside, it genuinely feels like its single-player predecessors rather than a cookie cutter MMO, and that in itself is enough to draw back in the weary crowd yearning for something fresh from the genre." ... Read full review

"Zenimax had a steep mountain to climb: They had to cater to both the expectations of fans of Offline-Tamriel as well as demands of online-mechanics. And even though the result is far from perfect and seems to lose focus here or there, I don’t regret any of the rather large amount of time I’ve spent with TESO." ... Read full review

"The Elder Scrolls Online is a remarkable MMORPG that keeps the essence of the original series. The game could have been more original in the design of its missions, but its PvP mode and the high quality of its contents are very good." ... Read full review

"Under the surface, not enough has changed to the formula that separates The Elder Scrolls Online from existing free or established properties, and I would find it genuinely hard to recommend to anyone seeking an experience outside of a cosy, well presented, box." ... Read full review

"Something good is being brewed here by Zenimax. The Elder Scrolls Online definitely needs a lot of work just to be able to reach other MMOs, but by playing this game you get a feeling that the online version of this franchise could become a milestone for the genre." ... Read full review

"The Elder Scrolls Online is a big game with a lot of work put into its creation. ZeniMax Online has created a large world with many quests and a cool PvP mode. The game tries to satisfy both solo gamers and MMO lovers, but the end result is short of expectations. TESO can be recommended only to the fans of the genre, who accept its flaws: repetitiveness, not very exciting combat and lots of simplifications. This "Skyrim online" is well made, but not very original." ... Read full review

"Apparently existing only to serve as a strawman for future arguments against the whole genre, Elder Scrolls Online is a game of exposed weaknesses and failed potential. If you’re hankering for Scrolls, I recommend modded Skyrim. If you’re after an MMO, I recommend any other." ... Read full review

Did you ever play WoW and wished it wouldn't be so boring levelling up? Welcome to the Elder Scrolls Online. It plays very differently fromDid you ever play WoW and wished it wouldn't be so boring levelling up? Welcome to the Elder Scrolls Online. It plays very differently from traditional MMOs in the sense that there are not quest hubs. This means that it is up to you to find and explore and by doing so level up. The combat is fantastic, there are no cool down timers. It is up to you to dodge, block, interrupt, cast, heal. It's very hectic and very fun, but also true to the Elder Scrolls Combat formula. Being able to play in first person adds immersion. The graphics are fantastic. All quest texts are voiced. The list goes on and on, in short I couldn't be happier with this game.… Expand

I had been pretty bored of the MMO genre. Been waiting for this game and didn't read much of it so it would be a surprise. I am really happyI had been pretty bored of the MMO genre. Been waiting for this game and didn't read much of it so it would be a surprise. I am really happy with my purchase. It's exactly what you would expect an Elder Scrolls MMO to be. The character creation is really detailed, the voiceovers are great, the quests are really well written and have a lot of diversity. Been playing since launch and I have no complaints.… Expand

All of the negative reviews I've seen so far are such BS. 1 guy claims this game is a WoW clone... this game is SOOOO far from a WoW cloneAll of the negative reviews I've seen so far are such BS. 1 guy claims this game is a WoW clone... this game is SOOOO far from a WoW clone it's ridiculous. If you think that an MMO that has leveling, and swords and magic is a WoW clone, I guess you're right.

Another guy gives a negative review because of some Customer Support issues? Sure, it sucks to have bad customer service... but having issues the day of launch is expected, and putting a negative review because of something that isn't even related to any of the game's development, gameplay or anything... ludicrous.

Does the game have problems, sure. Is the game 100% unique, pretty sure that it's been proven mathematically that there is almost 0 ideas that haven't been thought of before. Is the game fun? Definitely, and it gets far better after you put in more than 20 minutes into it. Exploration and unique play styles abound.… Expand

I really wanted to like this game, but apart from character customization options, the story just couldn't keep me interested. I managed toI really wanted to like this game, but apart from character customization options, the story just couldn't keep me interested. I managed to play through all the starting areas, but the game lack the freedom and the spirit of the other Elder Scrolls games. Choices are meaningless and leveling is a chore. Quests are average and the whole thing feels lifeless. It is however an adequate MMO, just nothing special.… Expand

Compared to many MMO's that set the standard for what a great multi-player online role-playing game should be, Elder Scrolls Online fallsCompared to many MMO's that set the standard for what a great multi-player online role-playing game should be, Elder Scrolls Online falls short in multiple areas.

1) The spell animations, design, and variations are extremely limited. Ex: A Mage can only use
Fire, Ice, and Lightning Spells. The ONLY true healer class/spells are holy. Many players like to see cool and colorful spell animations that make them feel powerful. ESO's spells are on the more subtle side.… Expand

1. Constant Crashing in PVP.
2. Infinite Loading screen in PVP.
3. Helmet randomly deleted during crafting or turning helmet off.
4. Lots of issues with the mounts in the game. Random dismounts, falling through world, being unable to move after mounting.
5. Bugged quests all over the place.
6. Random falling through world.
7. The disable /stuck in Cyrodiil. God help if you if you get stuck in Cyrodiil. Support says "Go play another character".

And the list goes on and on. Full of bugs, and no word from Zenimax on when the plan to fix this.… Expand
