World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Warlords of Draenor demonstrates that World of Warcraft remains perched on top of the MMO heap for a reason. An emphasis on fun pervades every detail of the experience, whether it's in the prevalent rare enemies dotting the countryside, the chance of upgradable loot, or bonus areas that encourage exploration. It somewhat dangerously overemphasizes single-player gameplay with its admittedly entertaining garrisons, but it does much to counter this tendency with design decisions that encourage socialization in the outside world. It's a triumph that Blizzard should rightfully be proud of, and it h...
Warlords of Draenor is the pinnacle of a game we've been playing for over 10 years now. It's absolutely the most polished version, with stunningly beautiful world design and a wonderful soundtrack that will fill you with awe during the course of your adventure. While I do yearn for more soul in the quest stories, the phenomenal scripted sequences and cutscenes are more than a fair tradeoff. Those who play the game for the sport will likely enjoy the Warlords content, from what I've seen so far in the pre-raid dungeons and PVP the design caliber is as high as ever.

A triumphant return to form for both Blizzard, and its world.
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor is a fun, content-laden expansion that makes a number of changes to the WoW dynamic, even if a lot of them may not pan out well for veterans and some features feel slightly underwhelming. Regardless of how you feel about MMOs, it's worth your time and money - just be prepared to get lost in Azeroth's many twists and turns.
If you've played World of Warcraft at any point in the past and it didn't suck you in, we don't necessarily think that Warlords of Draenor is going to be the expansion to win you over. The game is much more accessible at this point thanks to simplifications to group finding, item analysis, and skill specializations; but it is still the same MMO grind that it was ten years ago. If you're an old fan considering revisiting Azeroth (particularly one who enjoys lore), we definitely recommend walking through the Dark Portal once more.
