For the sake of honesty I have to start this review by saying that I was hesitant going into The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO): Tamriel Unlimited, as it was by no means my first adventure into the game.

When it launched on PC last year, the Elder Scrolls Online was an ambitious attempt to translate the single player-centric gameplay and epic storylines of Oblivion and Skyrim to a massively multiplayer format.

Loving this latest edition of elder scrolls, the expansions are really great and very fun.

Styx: Master of Shadows serves as the prequel and second game in the series occupying the same world as that Of Orcs and Men (2012). Unlike the first game though Styx: Master of Shadows pulls out Styx the goblin as the main character and focuses more on stealth than the fantasy action of the...

Light RPG elements let you upgrade Styx skills for your plastyle; Lengthy stealth title that few match in raw length; Interesting setting with plenty of height

Combat is painful if you are discovered

I've never really found the time to get "into" an MMO. I've skated around the periphery of World of Warcraft , EVE , and yes, Elder Scrolls Online . MMOs aren't games to be started lightly, though, and I've always felt like an outsider when I try and start an MMO years after launch.

Biggest expansion for ESO ever; Easy to get into for newcomers; Amazing art design

Level scaling may turn off "hardcore" MMO players; Tags

The Elder Scrolls Online gets its biggest shot in the arm yet with the extensive Morrowind chapter. It doesn't properly fix the fundamental flaws of the base game, but it does add an interesting, fresh depth for veteran players whilst keeping it somewhat accessible for newcomers.

Amazing mmorpg with great gameplay and TES feel. It's been hated on by Skyrim fanboys everywhere so ignore the biased negative scores. People wanted this to be Skyrim online and it's not!

Before I start this review I have a confession to make; despite the game having originally released ages ago, and despite the fact I actually own the title on Steam, I have never actually played Bastion until now and with complete honesty, I really wish I had played it sooner.

Fantastic visuals and music; Great combat depth; Enormous feelings of accomplishment

Some difficulty spikes if not played with strategy; Story may be hard for some to follow

The Elder Scrolls Online is a contradiction in terms. Even its title makes no sense. Massive multiplayer tacked on to the singleplayer RPG gold standard, a confused compromise between two radically different genres. Last year it didn't work .

Enormous facsimile of Tamriel to explore; Sensationally versatile class; skill; character creation and crafting systems; Revamped first-person combat feels fantastic; Loads of content; no subscriptions; A huge number of story & radiant quests fleshed out with lore and mini-narratives..

...that don't really make sense in an MMORPG; become mundane; Jarring disconnect between story and massive multiplayer destroys atmosphere and immersion; Tamriel still feels like a sterile showroom at times; slow and restrictive first few hours; Can be difficult to find groups and enter Cyrodiil PvP

Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth game based around infiltration as you playing as Styx must retrieve the Heart of the World tree that is hidden with in the Tower of Akenash. As far as setup goes, the story is actually pretty bland and doesn't do much to capture your imagination, but it does do...
