Vindictus is a really fun game which has great online multiplayer functionality and good graphics!
Vindictus has Dungeons, Raids, crafting, fishing, a player economy/auction house, quest rewards, earned titles, pets, great combat animations, soon to come structured pvp and much more. Even without the pvp right now, this game is just plain fun.
Race and character customization isn't plentiful as you are pigeonholed into a gender depending on your race. On the other hand though, the class/talent system makes up for it quite well. Intuitive talents such as transformation where you can morph your character mid-fight into a bad ass Paladin wielding mega sized hammers made of light is just plain awesome. I also found the online community to be a breath of fresh air compared to most other online games.
To truly enjoy this game though, you have to think of it as a game and not necessarily a role playing game or MMORPG. The story is nothing to tout about. You'll even find yourself quickly flipping through the quest text just to get on with the fun. And, the way the npc's are designed it's hardly easy to grab hold of who they are and what their point is besides handing you quests. Vindictus doesn't have a vast open world or quest lines to give a hoot about. But for some reason, none of that hardly matters.
Vindictus is far less about story and alot more about building an awesome character with cool ass armor/weapons and sticking it to dungeon bosses and other players online. The dungeons and raids are really fun and while you level up and build your character, there's almost no sense of grind to this game. Another important positive is that the queues for dungeons are almost always instant and most dungeons are pretty fast paced in general too, so you can run maybe one every 10 minutes or so. This game does a excellent job of throwing you right into the fun.
Another good thing about this game is that you can use a gamepad/controller effectively. You can also use a mouse and a keyboard however I prefer the controller. The best part about Vindictus though is that it's 100% free to play! Just sign up for an account, download/install and you're off. You just can't beat that. You'll find yourself saying over and over.."I can't believe this game is free."
