Review: Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor (PlayStation 4)
The Dark Heart of Skyrim beats from the depths in The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor. Explore the snow-swept region of Western Skyrim and face an ancient vampiric army that once plagued Tamriel, bent on devouring souls to fuel their rebirth, as part of a year-long gothic adventure.
Pros:
- Gorgeous graphics.
- Download size.
- A new set of trophies.
- Opens up as it does in the Skyrim game but with a bit of a remix to it all.
- Own in-game achievements.
- MMO gameplay.
- New enemies and wildlife to kill you.
- Giants and Frost giants are a huge mini-boss style instance in many cases.
- The main storyline is one involving murder, snow, and vampires. Obviously there is more but it boils down to this.
- Free prologue mission. (optional free purchase from the store)
- Snow weather along with a day/night cycle.
- It’s just great to be back in the region!
- The last hour of the story is riveting, and the final showdown is well done.
- Amazing vistas and locales.
- Antiquities system-new treasure map styled hunts fill with puzzles and logic.
- New cosmetics-pets/mementos/costumes/hats/adornments/titles/skins/dyes/new motifs and new furnishings.
- Loads of lore books to find.
- Can use your old character or start a new one,
- Kynes Aegis-new 12 player group event. It plays out like a raid complete with bosses and puzzles.
Cons:
- Still hard to read the cluttered compass for guidance on navigation.
- The earlier quests are full of boring fetch quests.
- Once you finish the main quest line it just stops, here’s a few rewards then off you pop.
- Lore can be hard to find.
- Starting and staying on the main Greymoor quest line can get tricky as it has some obscure quest descriptions and doesn’t make it clear.
