Professional reviews from gaming critics

While New World isn't a World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV killer, it does prove that a new MMO can succeed. We'll have to wait to see how they capitalize on their momentum.

“New World brings a lot of excellent MMO twists to the table, but its marred by bugs, stale quests, and a lack of endgame content.”

Despite bugs and queue times, Amazon Games' new MMORPG is good piratey fun (especially the Faction system), but the early game is very grindy and you will cut down a lot of trees.

New World offers players — even MMO veterans — a satisfying mix of combat, character growth and discovery.

New World keeps most of its concepts sweet and simple - mostly to its advantage.

New World is an entrancing game at its best, and an absolute soulless grind at its worst. Here is our 100 hour New World review.

For all its faults and shortcomings, New World is probably the most immersive MMORPG I've ever played, thanks to its rich open-world and faction politics that keep things interesting each time I log in. This isn't an easy game to recommend, particularly because there are already other MMOs out there that have totally nailed the PvE questing and endgame aspects so perfectly that New World looks lik...

New World is not a paradise for all comers by any means. It's an escape for those willing to put up with some oddly misbalanced elements to get a taste of some really excellent PvP encounters. If you have a guild ready to grind out results and become kind of the mountain then New World is worth a look.

New World feels like a modern MMORPG. It looks beautiful, the combat is fluid, and there's plenty to keep you engaged. The island feels alive with warring factions and hostile enemies. And the fighting is very fun. While you're never short of tasks to complete, the game gets repetitive. It's in desperate need of variety and more emotion. The bones are there, but New World hasn't fulfilled its pote...

Amazon has done a decent job with New World with its exquisite visuals and overall environment. They just need to smooth out those rough edges and implement some mounts!

A stellar crafting experience and surprisingly slick combat aren’t enough to compensate for the flaws in New World’s humdrum and frustrating quest design.

New World exemplifies not judging a book by its cover. New World starts like a competent MMO with lots of activities, many ways to engage with players, and an endgame that sounds very appealing, but the deeper you go, it reveals itself as a mess with loads of baffling design decisions that suck the life out of Aeternum’s, otherwise, beautifully crafted world. I never want to step in Aeternum again...
