World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has expanded the worldbuilding to such a scale that every new dungeon or quest is a chance to explore lore new and old. At the end of the day, I can’t ask for more than that.

Over time, I’ve noticed one thing about established universes. Any and every attempt to explain death is a mistake in the making. Especially when it comes to RPGs, where the existence of death is already a huge issue. Take the famous “Why didn’t Cloud use Phoenix Down on Aerith?” question from Final Fantasy VII.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands' base experience offers a variety of excellent content through new zones and endgame content. The framework for a great stream of content is there, so for now, there's a lot to enjoy.

WoW's latest chapter offers a gorgeous leveling experience, interesting endgame systems, and a pile of well-designed dungeons. Though some rough edges remain, ongoing hotfixes are chipping away at them.

Shadowlands might not spark a new golden age for WoW, but it's still pretty fun.

“World of Warcraft: Shadowlands gets lost in its attempt to offer players more choice than ever before, ultimately forgetting to restock the reward machine needed to keep patrons invested.”
