At the beginning you are massively overpowered, but the difficulty quickly picks up. The graphics, though a bit dated, create an immerse world filled with bright, colorful textures. The soundtrack really adds to the game and is something that stands out about this particular MMORPG. The game features an original score with gives cutscenes and gameplay a cinematic feel.

The attention to detail is impressive, especially for a free game.Įven after sinking hours upon hours into the game, I felt as if I had barely scratched the surface of the massive open world.

The setting of the game, the fictional planet, Nexus is vast, atmospheric, endearing.

Much like World of Warcraft, the game takes place in a world with two divided factions made up of several races. The game WildStar takes its structure from many classic MMORPGs.
