The value story

The value story

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 23 percent. It is better reviewed than 71 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Wurm Online (free, scores 10) and Undawn (free, scores 0).

It is still busy. 7.0K players were online when we last checked, on Nov 6, 14:46 UTC, across 35 days of weekly checks. Free to start. It takes its money later, through cosmetic and currency.

More about Albion Online

Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 33-hour game, that is a lot of evenings the rest never spend. Players rate it 78 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 68 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Inside the two-hour refund window, 32 percent of the 110 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 33 hours; clearing it takes 199, which is 6.0 times the campaign.

What an insane hidden gem. I have always seen the advertisements about a real world economy and the sandbox mmo, but i never knew how deep it was until i actually started playing it. This game is basically eve online, but there are 2 of the 4 area's where you don't drop your loot on death... but the mechanics and overall direction of the game is the same.

I was looking for a game to play instead of WoW for a while, and well, Albion didn't really work out for me. The first couple of hours were pretty fun, so I decided to keep playing, but the more I played, the more repetitive it got If you're looking for a game that gives you a lot of freedom, I honestly wouldn't recommend it.
