Top 5 best online MMORPG
5 The Elder Scrolls Online
Best atypical MMORPG
Rating (2019): 4.6
The world of The Elder Scrolls has millions of fans around the world. The games of the series are so popular that they penetrated into pop culture - an excellent indicator of "cult". But TES has always been a purely single-player game. In 2014, The Elder Scrolls Online, an atypical client MMORPG, tried to change the situation. At first, the game seems extremely familiar to any fan of the series: you escape from prison to save the world. But soon you notice the "ownerless" chest, then it becomes interesting what is hidden "in those mountains", and young beauties should be saved after all. In general, the classic TES, where the storyline is always postponed until later.
Why do you need online? Imagine that you came running to fight with the boss ... and there are already about a dozen other researchers whose actions directly affect you. From the tenth level of development, the location of Cyrodiil becomes available, where the player can fight in massive PvP battles for the title of Emperor.
Of course, the game is not perfect technically. And the balance leaves much to be desired. But TESO is the most atypical and therefore extremely interesting, constantly evolving MMORPG. The Elder Scrolls Online is available not only to PC users, but also to owners of PlayStation 4, Xbox One and MacOS.
4 Neverwinter online
Traditional MMORPG with unusual controls
Rating (2019): 4.6
Continuing the theme of unusual games worth remembering Neverwinter Online. On the one hand, the game swung at WoW laurels, described below. It is understandable, we have a typical multiplayer online fantasy RPG with a dozen of available races and a bunch of classes. If you want to succeed, you will have to restart the game repeatedly or read the user experience to find the most optimal combination of race-class. Do not forget about pumping: yes, the developers have tried to simplify the process as much as possible in order to attract newbies, but still have to understand the intricacies.
Why is the game unusual? The main thing is management. Neverwinter resembles a third-person action, because the movements of the character will have to control the WASD keys. The combat system is also unusual: not only armor coolness and available skills are important, but also agility - you need to “flit” around enemies, constantly evade attacks and look for new convenient positions to attack.
Note the well-developed tools for the independent creation of tasks that can be shared with other players, which means there will always be something to do in the game. Neverwinter Online is distributed as shareware.
3 World of warcraft
Founder of the genre
Rating (2019): 4.7
Talking about Warcraft is difficult. There are several reasons for this. The first - the main - the game appeared on the PC back in 2004 and most gamers, if not tried the game personally, then at least familiar with the essence. The second reason - the vast majority of gameplay and design elements are already familiar to us. But the reason is not that WoW copies someone. World of Warcraft - a game that marked the beginning of the genre.Younger projects adopt the mechanics of the old man, provide more beautiful graphics - which is simple, given the asceticity of the original - but still can not beat the bronze winner of the TOP-5 in popularity.
The game features 13 races, each of which includes unique classes. Understand all the features of each of them is unlikely to succeed if you are not willing to spend a dozen years of your life. There are not so many entertainments: quests, hunting for mobs, and fights with other players. But Blizzard - the developer studio - every couple of years presents to the public major updates, causing considerable agiotage.
Finally, it is worth noting that the game requires a premium subscription for a period of 1-6 months. But there is also a free trial period with a bunch of restrictions, but the opportunity to understand whether you want to play further.
2 Lineage II
The most popular free client MMORPG
Rating (2019): 4.7
Lineage - often referred to by the people as a “ruler” - was developed by a talented team from South Korea almost simultaneously with Warcraft, and was able to make an equally tangible contribution to the development of the genre. The localized Russian version, which appeared in 2008, has changed little over 10 years. In Lineage there is everything that gamers are used to: a huge number of races and classes with their own characteristics, various weapons, armor, jewelry, raincoats and much, much more. Fun in the game is also standard - siege castles, fighting monsters, and, of course, PvP battles with other players. But “Ruler” is not a game for one. Clan or alliance members are not only easier to play, but also more fun, because it is the social component that makes the game so popular. Many players grew up here, found friends.
A certain contribution was made by the free game. Yes, developers are not altruistic, and therefore there are many in-game bonuses acquired for real money. This significantly affects the balance, but allows you not to spend the night on pumping character. Also, the downside is to carry outdated graphics, because of which users are increasingly moving to modern projects.
1 DOTA 2
Best MOBA on Steam
Rating (2019): 4.8
DotA - there is hardly a player who has not heard of her. Daily leader TOP-5 takes away the time of millions of PC gamers. At the same time at least half a million users are always online. What caused such a love? Formally, DOTA 2 does not belong to the MMORPG genre, although it grew out of the usual addition to Warcraft. The leader of the rating refers to MOBA - multiplayer online battle arena. The essence is simple - one card and two teams of players of five people. The game can be safely compared with chess. In both games it is required to wonderfully know the possible ways and calculate events in advance. Perhaps it will take even more time to master DotA due to the large number of characters.
As in any mass game, a gamer may face tons of negativity. But the professional sphere has not bypassed Dot with a party - every year many matches are held in different parts of the world. The largest of these is The International. The winners of the 8th championship this year will take home almost 25 million dollars! An excellent incentive to try yourself in this cyber discipline, is not it?
