The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
I thoroughly enjoyed questing through Elsweyr and while I wasn’t looking to start a new class, I am happy I made the Necromancer, as she is certainly the second most fun character to play for me. The class is a blast to heal and DPS on, and I can’t wait to get her into champion level. The addition of dragons was done perfectly, and brings a lot of fun to the game. The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr CE is currently on sale for $51.99.
In the end, Elsweyr is a worthy addition to the legacy of the Elder Scrolls Online world. The new necromancer class, the Sunspire trial, and the dragon hunts all have kept me playing for months after completing the main questline.
Elsweyr is a worthy successor to last year’s Summerset chapter, even though the main quests don’t live up to the hype. It’s actually the excellent storytelling and exploration in the side quests that outshines the underwhelming dragons with heartfelt drama and comedy. Meanwhile, the new Necromancer class is by far one of the best additions to ESO since the early days, with some very clever unique mechanics that work in any role. And of course, the land of Elsweyr itself is one of the best and most visually interesting areas to explore.
Say one thing for Bethesda, say they (mostly) deliver on the post-launch DLC.
It may not receive the honour of being our favourite ESO expansion to date but Elsweyr still makes for a great time whether you're a beginner or a series veteran. We loved unleashing the power of the undead through the new necromancer class and enjoyed how dragons made for a formidable threat that allied the entire community. We did feel though that the story wrapped up a little too quickly and the zone of Elsweyr just didn't have the same visual appeal as other zones, however. With the previous Wrathstone DLC and now with Elsweyr ESO's year of the dragon has started promising and we can't wai...
Struggles to do justice to what should be its show-stopper moments, but breathes much-needed life into the Khajiit and their homeland.
