User Rating: 7.1 | Horizons: Empire of Istaria PC

I'll keep it short: I don't disagree with the official Horizons review. But this doesn't mean you won't enjoy the game. I've come off of AC, which gameplay-wise has a polish this game doesn't even come close to at the moment. I would give it time though -- most MMORPGs don't start off shining like a new car, and Horizons has dozens of rough edges, bugs, and things to work out at the moment. Still, you should give it a try...after a short period of time. They do need to add content and things they've promised into the game before I'd recommend it. I am having a load of fun playing the game, despite its apparent blandness, and I think other seasoned MMORPG players would find this possibly engaging as well, but you won't know until you try it yourself. If you're willing to pony up the $50 for the game and a free month, I can guarantee you'll have a pretty solid opinion by the end of that. Gameplay: Your typical combat. Some interesting specials. Fun, but not mind-blowing. Graphics: Very nice...but bad pop-in, some jaggies, and it basically requires more resources than it should. I'd like rain or snow too...please... Sound: Alright. I'm glad the music has a toggle. It doesn't have as many enviromental sounds as I would like. Value: You'll get a ton of gameplay out of it...as you would any MMORPG. Just don't forget, you're paying $13 a month for that. Tilt: I'm giving this only a 5 because AE needs to deliver on their promises of content. If they mostly do, this game will be considerably more fun.
