Gameplay

122 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every class feels impactful and flashy, and pulling off a perfect raid mechanic with your team hitting abilities in sync is chef's kiss.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Verdict: Not Recommended - Look, Lost Ark has some of the best combat in any MMO and genuinely great raid content.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's high value set to entice players back in and no doubt all roads lead to Rome but for now, I can't see why anyone wouldn't go in for some decent story content, amazing moments, and excellent solo boss encounters.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is incredible, the world is gorgeous, and the rogue-style classes are easily the coolest in the entire roster—fast, flashy, stylish, everything I want.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals are amazing, sometimes can be too bright but that's easily fixed.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lost Ark was genuinely a lot of fun when it first released, especially while playing with friends.
