An immersive but challenging MMO that is not for the impatient.

User Rating: 7.5 | EVE Online: Special Edition PC
Eve Online is the most unique MMO on the market. And that's both a compliment and a criticism. The gameplay is unlike anything you've experienced. The time-based skill system is unique...but also prevents new players from being truly 'competitive' until considerable time has passed. And due to its nature as a 'sandbox game', anything goes in Eve...so people concerned by griefing or being 'forced into PvP' should be wary ..... pirates are the norm; and for those not careful, losing everything is indeed possible.

Eve's interface and gameplay is the most advanced...both compelling and frustrating. There is no ground-based combat or avatars...you ARE the ship you command and all exploration, commerce and warfare is done via these ships. Each of the four races quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) hate one another and have individual strengths and weaknesses as a society.

For the impatient player, Eve will prove slow and incredibly difficult....regardless of how some would convey it, Eve takes time (often months) for a new player to really get their bearings and learn the key skills necessary to succeed.

But for the intelligent and patient gamer, Eve will prove a rewarding and challenging experience. with a community and following like no other.
