Project: Gorgon Reviews

best mmorpg ever made. Great community, great devs, great ideas. Forget about those generic AAAs, this is GEM.

Great indie MMO that was made with a lot of love. If you enjoy skyrim or elder scrolls online you will feel right at home with this game.

A hidden gem amongst MMOs. Lots of "races" you can be, can even turn into animals (spiders, deer, cows, wolves etc). The main races are human, elf, khajiit and the fairy/fae race. Two others are in process of coming out, dwarves and something else. Community is some of the best, everyone is so friendly and helpful. It is however a pretty small playerbase, but I often see people most places I go. And I think recently there has been a big uptick in population from sales and maybe there are more youtube videos/twitch streams about it, not sure. But there is a lot of new players (like me) joining the game right now as of this review. Graphics are...not the focus. Its definitely gameplay+community-content and graphics last as a focus. Not that they are the worst thing out there, but its not going to look like Witcher or Cyberpunk or a modded skyrim by any means. If you care ONLY about graphics, and don't care if gameplay (usually) suffers for it, probably look elsewhere. Other than that, the game is a ton of fun. There is a lot of puzzles and figuring things out on your own. There is no quest markers or quest paths to tell you where to go or what to do...which some may or may not like these days. Also there is a LOT of skills to raise/train, and a lot of hidden things littered around. Really focuses on exploring and figuring things out. There is a wiki if do need help, and in-game chat is super helpful even with probably rather dumb questions I've had lol. Highly recommend if you want an open non-handholding MMO with really fun gameplay, tons of content and a great community.

What if you were making an MMO with only two thoughts in your brain: 1) the best thing in MMOs is exploration, which is more than just quests and the map? 2) what happens if you actually commit to isekai anime bit of everything is a skill and everything you do unlocks random new things? Put 200 developers on an idea like this and it wouldn’t be even a sliver as interesting as this is. The absolute chaos of a couple of minds pouring passion and ideas into a single project over years of work. Almost reminds me of Maid Marian games, RPGmo, and definitely harkens back to 00s MMOs with extremely grand ideas, but with the tools to actually try them. Games fucking incredible, a the same time it’s also a mess and a thousand layers deep.

This game is pretty interesting when it comes to having things to do (lots of interesting skill types), and then spends the majority of its mechanics punishing you for or outright preventing you from doing them. The "economy" is non existent, there are no vendors you can rely on to sell items for any amount of income, because their purchasing cash is extremely limited and resets WEEKLY, so you will routinely have an inventory full of junk that might be ideal to sell, but with no one to buy it. This is "fixed" by gaining favor with random vendors to apparently increase their buyback amounts, and the way you do this is by "hanging out" with them outside of the game while you're offline. Yes, this game incentivises you to NOT PLAY IT. The more you don't play, the more favor you can gain! Worse still, even if you did have money to buy training or advance in anything (you won't) learning even basic skills (use a staff, learn a single basic magic spell) is a game of hide and seek with NPCs scattered and hidden throughout the area that you may or may not eventually run into, so you will spend a lot of time necessarily learning skills or weapon types you might not care for until you eventually run into one of these people and then do a lot of backtracking to learn what you actually wanted to, assuming you get that far. The community seemed fine, the help channel was generally helpful, but there are better options that don't punish you for trying to engage with it.

Surprisingly fun and indepth. If you are looking for a Slower paced MMO that centers itself around classless advancement of literally hundreds of unique skills, this is the game! There are no set classes (though most will probably start with a sword, or bow or other common weapon) meaning you can start learning a totally new skill on one character at any time. Is your Hardened knight tired of slaying thousands with sword? Have you tried.... Psychology? The art of misdirecting your enemies or damaging them through hurtful cutting words. Yeah that's literally a skill.. its actually pretty awesome too. "Tell me about your mother" is a Crowd control spell under Psychology, where the enemy if they fail the save will start telling you about their mother unless someone attacks them LOL. the game doesn't take itself too seriously, and at the same time offers seriously indepth skills and crafting. ive only scratched the surface of what this game has to offer, but if your reading the reviews trying to decide if its for you... let me help you with that, it is. it has a free demo you can play, that allows you to really get started on the Tutorial Island and decide if its your playstyle or not (limited to max skill level of 15 in any skill). Then if you buy the Title for 19.99, you can continue that characters journey to maximum skill levels. by skill level 7 in swords i knew This was a title for me. Hope to see you in game!

This MMO is one of the best IMO!. Very Immersive, a lot to do. Crafting, Dungeons, tons of skills to learn, various ways play. You have a primary and secondary skill which, when combined can do tons of damage. Graphics are not triple AAA however, you tend to loose time in with all kinds of things to do. Would Recommend!

I've got a character that shouts and shames his enemies to death. I learned this skill by making an npc an antidepressant from scratch so he would be in a good enough mood to lend me his book to read. I then got another npc to teleport me off the starting island early. If you want a game that has multiple ways to tackle things, you'll probably like this one.

I was walking through Serbule Keep, going about my day, when I spot a rather "different" deer. Turns out it was a player who became a deer in an earlier version of the game, when the model had a very different texture. I shapeshifted into a deer form and sat near him with a few other deer. I asked for his wisdom and before I knew it there were about 20 or so deer players following this strange deer. We spent two or so hours recruiting people into our deer movement, handing out deer juice as though it were water. It is some of the most fun I've had in a while, and I made absolutely no progress to any of my goals and I'll easily do it again.

How do I put this. I've had this on my wishlist for years and letting it cook. Didn't really know much about it, and lets be honest the graphics look dated from videos/screenshots, so I wasnt overly eager to try it. I finally did however, and I gotta say this is probably the first time in the last 20 years that I've been properly captured again with the same kinda vibe that SWG used to have. It's not like it really looks like SWG, or have a similar setting or anything like that, but it has that feel. There is so many creative and new systems, new angles and multitudes of options that is not part of the standard MMORPG package. I'm honestly surprised at how many mechanics I hadn't seen before and am enjoying. So many classes/professions to combine, stuff to grind, social systems including song, dance, poetry.. love it. The GFX could be better, but it's better ingame then what the videos how, and movement/animations, GUI and all that is very smooth and simplistic, so no "indie game syndrome" there. Gotta get back to playing now!
