World of Warcraft

We have no compelling evidence that World of Warcraft is no longer the king of the MMORPG genre. Nevertheless, I cannot honestly consider this title as "number 1" and recommend it as such. It's still a solid game, offering a lot of content and a tempting world. Shadowlands may not have been the best expansion and didn't stand the test of time, but – to be clear – it's not that bad with WoW; it just should have been much better. Things were only improved by Dragonflight, which made the old WoW skyrocket in popularity again. The DLC was positively rated by the majority of players.

Despite all the complaints, World of Warcraft is still a game worth recommending. Regardless of the old tab-target combat system, it was possible to maintain a certain level of dynamics, and the skills can be clearly felt. Although the development system seems to be overcomplicated, and the multitude of options can be overwhelming, you can't complain about the amount of stuff to do. It's a pity that it all seems not entirely well thought-out, especially when looking through the prism of changes made in two of the last three expansions. Fortunately, the last expansion, Dragonflight, has redirected many elements, including the profession system, on the right track. Let's hope that the future will be even better. The War Within will be released later this year.
