I take a look at Amazon’s NEW WORLD, which is scheduled to be released at the end of this month, Aug 2021. Taking play in the land of Aeternum I dive into character creation and then spend over 150 hours playing in this upcoming 2021 MMORPG so that I can give an honest review and show beta gameplay footage. I spent many days testing various approaches to leveling.
Do I think it has what it takes to be a major MMO on the market and give other large titles a run or will this game die out fast? I put in over 130 hours into the closed beta to get an opinion.

Thanks for this recap !!
Bring on Launch day!
Accurate video. I've got about 70 hours in so far and the main thing I keep thinking is how repetitive and similar the questing is. Also, the lack of dungeons/expeditions is a concern. I hope they have more content in the works as the game could be great.
Good recap, unfortunate timing! It was just announced delayed until September 28. More time to fix things mentioned in the video at least!
your videos are awesome. But slow down a bit. It seems like you were rushing. We know you love it. Just slow down. Otherwise 10/10
Delayed until late Sept. This is a good decision, to fix a lot of the questing and bugs
Is it on my end in the video, or was the gameplay frame rate low? Thanks for the review! Excited about the game but guarded still
Thank you for the review. I agreed that the foundation for an amazing game is there, and for me, with my casual amount of hours to play, I would be entertained for a long time by the current state of the game. You are however correct that it definitly needs more content and expansions on existing content. But that might be the biggest selling point of this game, the potential. To me the potential of this game and the pace of which it can be realized, is extremely attractive. With the size of their team, the amount of funding they have available and the progress and willingness to adapt, they have show so far, the potential makes this game a very obvious choice for me, out of the current selection of MMO's.
need mounts and not fast travel, need vendor npcs, need to be able to mass salvage items, need to be able to group quest list goes on
Another top vid, ty! Really hoping the Devs have much more content up their sleeves, otherwise some players will be bored after a month or two.
this game looked bad since I first saw it. I tried some early beta's and it was bad. last beta was even worse imo. I have no idea what people see in this game tbh. Yea the gfx are nice but the gameplay is trash, pvp is bad due to the gameplay and the mechanics. questing is extremely boring. I dont think there is any pve endgame, atleast nothing that peaks my interest and i have refunded the game.
Im playing sword of legends online atm and its actually really good and a sleeper release IMO. it has good gameplay, arena pvp, guild events, faction vs faction pvp, dungeons with different difficulties, pve raids. performance is not that good out of the box but theres ways to make it run very good.
