    I found the combat clunky as can be. Optimization was bad. Everything felt like a chore to get through. It is a major pass for me.

    This game is DOA. I've played the beta and nothing of the game is fun nor appealing. Combat is so bad, you don't even feel any feedback from hitting or being hit (unless you get knocked down, and even then it's super bad), the aesthetics are as generic as you can be and the list could go on and on. They tried to copy black desert but failed insanely hard in every aspect. The whole "soul taming" thing is so boring, considering they all look the same but have a different element attached to it. If you're REALLY bored and have no standards, this game is perfect (pun intended).

    It does feel like any other eastern fantasy MMO. I don't see how these can be profitable, they feel so interchangeable.

    Its a game that should have been better than it is......I guess people thought with Amazons money that they could make the killer game they promised, but it does fall way short.....I tried it thinking it was a game my nephew would really like to play together, but even he quit after two sessions.

    I agree with everyone here, super unimpressed. Gender locked classes...that's still a thing? I couldn't even get through all the tutorials before I shut it down. And yes, feels like every other eastern mmo out there.

    Exactly how I felt as well. My wife could here me yelling "How could this even be a game?!"

    It was a chore to play. 10 minutes in and I uninstalled.

    Only a handful of action combat games have been successful. Why keep shoe horning it into games. Zoomers clearly don't like MMORPGs and other generations of gamers don't want it. This game looks like shit.

    I really give up on ever seeing another mmo or MMORPG that I like.

    This garbage was so bad, it set a new low

    This isn't "New World" from amazon btw, you're a bit confused about the topic lol.

    Yeah i was about to chime in on that, Amazon has nothing to do with this; this is Perfect World Entertainment- an old Chinese multi-media conglomerate; the whole ' New World' bit in the title is... confusing, it confused everyone, it still confuses people.

    I honestly don't know how this is going to turn out, but i personally didn't like it, alot of what i tried out is very rough around the edges, but it was the English voiced dialogue that really told me everything i needed to know about the care for this project.

    The English voices sounded super generic (more so then usual) and almost robotic in delivery; almost Artificial? Without a soul? Do i need to spell it out?

    It really does sound like they used AI for their English voices, and if it isn't AI, it's the most convincing impression of human beings mimicking AI I've ever heard.

    As for the visuals, i feel like we shouldn't spend so much time trying to dazzle ourselves at this point with something visually appealing when we don't even know how rewarding the experience of a game like this will be.

    Well..... I guess it's an ugly, worse performing cheaper P2W version of Swords of Legends Online.

    I tryed this game and it was Monkey ballz !!!
    Even if you tab target enemies then you will kick the air so hard that it will leave holes in the air !

    I know it was beta but dont get ur hype up..its a bad game !!!rip

    Swords of Legend looked a lot better, was pretty good, and it still tanked. I don't see much promise to this, but then again I didn't think Lost Ark would go anywhere either.

    I'm playing Sword and Fairy: Together Forever on GamePass and I like it. The combat and combos are satisfying.

    I'm with you. I have been mmoless for years now. They are all the same "safe" generic crap with different skins. Trying fractured atm but it's very close to going off the cliff and learning why "hardcore" pvp sandboxes always fail.
