Wayfinder

if you don't have graphics card with frame generation (e.g. nvidia 40xx) be prepared for stuttering and lags when loading new area
devs should try to disable any advanced/expensive unreal engine 5 functions and maybe that would help
I have i5 12400, nvidia 2060. 32gb ram and I can't bring myself to play it because of mentioned issues

I found this game in a PC Gamer article about it closing down to go away from free to play. After checking it out i decided to give it a spin after it returned. this is one well made game. it runs well, even on my steam deck, its pretty but wont chock out your GPU. Best of all its legit fun to play! easy to get into and triggers my need for LOOOOT! im gonna be playing this for a minute or two. also trying to turn the reviews from mixed to positive. its fun. go play it.

If you're looking for an ARPG with loot and no real push to stay on top of everything this is the game for you. Coming from the Destiny 1 era I missed random loot that kept you coming back and this game sorta scratches the itch minus the "shooter" part As far as graphic and how it runs I hear there's issue on pc and stuff but I play on steam deck at 30 fps with low-med settings.

Not-bad-ish, in general it's really simplified version of MMO game turned into single-player / co-op experience. But a lot of aspects feels like devs were not able to choose - are they making mobile game or PC MMO.

Pros:
- Good visual style
- A lot of mechanics:
-- House decoration
-- Cosmetics which you can actually paint however you like (missing in a lot of games)
-- A lot of ways to lvl up character
- Solid plot

Cons:
- In general everything missing depth an scale:
-- "Open" sections of the game are rather small from what you would expect from game of this type
-- "Mobile-like" fighting, with 4 abilities and few moves up your sleeve
- Pretty boring progression loop:
-- TP to dungeon, clear it up, get loot, flush, repeat
- Small amount of weapon variations (same models, same textures, just #s change)

In general if you are ok with these cons game will be great for you, and there is a lot of content to discover. But if you want more depth or dynamics - this game is not for you.

This game has the most godawful character selection I have ever seen in a game. I feel like its initial failure has something to do with that which is unfortunate as it is a really fun game. You can get costumes to hide the character appearances but unfortunately you still have to look at them in the loading menus. I would still recommend.

Wayfinder is the first RPG in a long time that I have actually finished. To some people, that might be a bad thing considering how many great games have come out lately; but, to me, that stands out. Airship Syndicate had the gumption to turn a failed project into something actually playable and enjoyable. I feel damn lucky to be the few percent that have actually played through this game fully. Let's dive in.

I loved the combat in this game first and foremost. Being able to freely switch between characters at will and make any build on any character felt like they really gave the player agency on how they wanted to play the game. Being able to wield any weapon on any character felt less restrictive than other RPGs. The "echo" system, which is pretty much just adding more stats to your weapons and trinkets, felt fun when you got a special boss echo, but, at times, mostly just came down to adding the ones that had the highest stat and item level. I also found that it was extremely easy to animation cancel when using a big weapon and that made the combat less intuitive for me as I mostly maxed break power and spammed auto/block to cancel the animation and max my damage output. I did, however, try other weapons with other characters and they still were fun to try and play around with.

The dungeons in this game, expeditions, as they are called, were fun to run the first time, but got very repetitive as most quests had you running the same expedition for an item or using an imbuement of some kind. Imbuements are just modifiers to the expeditions which give you more exp gained at the cost of an affix to enemies such as blistering heat damage, or gold coins on the ground, but the more you take, the more damage you take from enemies. I found myself entering an expedition just to finish the quest progress, then abandon the run because I didn't want to run through the whole thing. The game also didn't force me to finish the expedition after progressing the quest, so why even bother?

Besides given expeditions, the player is also given "hunts". I like to think of them as actual bosses or trials from FFXIV, if that makes sense. These hunts have mechanics and usually progress the story or some side quests and they definitely felt like the bread and butter of this game. You get introduced to "mythic hunts" way down the line, and these are pretty much endgame hunts turned up to 11. I had a blast doing these to get some legendaries and the best gear.

Something I didn't find myself enjoying throughout Wayfinder was the main story. I was reading and listening to all the dialogue until about 10hrs in. It just got repetitive and boring. I know there is the Gloom and I know I am a Wayfinder, you don't have to tell me 20 times. I did, however, think some of the side quests were much better written than the main story. I specifically enjoyed a side quest where a girl in a past time lost her puppy she found and you have to bring the puppy's toy back to their grave. Reading the optional journals of this side quest were quite touching. I also really loved one where you help a giant starfish eat and eat and the quest is named "Feed Me, See More". I love when games reference sh*t like that.

I believe this game deserves much more recognition that it has. It is super unfortunate that its terrible launch tainted the game for most players. As I said, Airship Syndicate didn't want to let this game die and I am so freaking happy they turned it into this. I haven't seen this mentioned, but this game heavily reminds me of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, but much more fleshed out, so if you enjoyed that or similar titles, you will feel right at home here. Wayfinder is deserving of its recent "Very Positive" reviews and I am giving it a solid 8/10.

Recommended!

I was honestly disappointed during the release of this game's early access I waited for a few hours on the loading screne just to be kicked out of the game multiple times. I originally refunded this game. But after the overhauls I decided to give this game abnother shot. This game is very polished and runs very well, combat is quite challenging if you want it to be but satisfying. I think it will be most fun to explore with friends. Get it on sale or full price you'll surely get your $$ worth on this game

This game is exactly what the doctor ordered for me. I'm not entirely sure why a lot of people say its poorly optimized.. it runs just fine on my system. This game is very entertaining and i enjoy the fact that i dont need 12 other people to complete a expedition. Please devs, dont give up on this master piece.

TL;DR All the benefits of an MMORPG without being an MMORPG.

Unique MMORPG which has had capitalism excised leaving you with all the fun of an MMO: endless open play and tonnes of content, quests, loot to collect - without any of the crap: a system designed to steal your money and time. No hordes of random players ganking, stealing your kills or just being annoying. No season passes, gacha mechanics or paid cosmetics. Everything is free other than your initial purchase.

You can play coop with three friends or play a genuine solo game with lots to do, lots of quests, daily missions, lots of loot and cosmetics which aren't locked behind paywalls or endless play loops to waste your time.

Graphics are brilliant, feels a bit WoW and a bit Tower of Fantasy. Combat is skill based and interesting, with unique play styles for each character (total of 8). Each character can use any weapon they like, but have a preference. You get your own house (apartment) to fill and chill out in which can also provide buffs to your character. There are open areas (which aren't massive) and loads of instance dungeons (30 min map or a quick boss fight). Plenty of play loops to keep you busy for at least 100 hours (I've done 50 and am not more than halfway). Endgame play loops appear to be present.

Only problems appear to be bad optimisation and poor servers. I've managed to cope with it, but there has been some jank. There are no penalties for dying though.

Worth it for full price (as an sub-AA game). Lots of fun to be had.

Someone decided that, in the year 2023, what we needed was an MMO. An MMO. You know, the genre that WoW killed stone-dead 20 years ago. A genre that is virtually guaranteed to cause a game to fail unless you have Square Enix money.

That game failed.

But that's not what this game is. Wayfinder is - now - a co-op RPG with a bunch of MMO systems tacked on to it, and it's a pretty good time. It's action focused without much in the way of combat complexity, but gameplay feels good. There are plenty of systems to sink your teeth into, at least initially, but they all end up a little shallow. There's legally a story, one you've seen a thousand times, and there are side quests and some voiced NPCs. It's a game, basically. It's not gonna knock your socks off, but it's not bad.

Moment to moment gameplay in Wayfinder is smacking stuff with weapons. You choose from eight character classes, each of which has some passive skills, three active skills, and an ultimate. Then you chose a weapon style, and a specific weapon from within that style for its special skill. Then you run around spamming your skills on mobs to complete standard MMO-style quests, like killing X dudes, or running from one NPC to the next. Boss design is decent, with you needing to avoid skills and deal damage while moving and dodging. There's never anything to really think about, combat-wise; you just press your buttons on cooldown, but it's good enough. About as simple a combat system as I would tolerate.

There's a little more complexity in gearing your character, but not much. Armour is just stat boosts; pick whichever pieces increase the stats you're focusing on. The talent tree is modest, but you only have 30 points to spend, which means there aren't really any choices to make: you can afford one big talent node, two medium ones, and two "echo" nodes. The affinity system is essentially a second talent tree with only 3 choices, and you'll just pick your affinity by the passive talents that work with your build.

Some actual complexity comes with the accessory gear, which is three item slots that allow you to target meaningful boosts to stats. Those accessories - and your weapon - also have "echo" slots in them, and that's the area of the game where you'll have to think (at least a little). Echos are enemy drops of varying rarity and item level that give passive stat boosts. They all have types, and these types limit the socket in your weapons and accessories they're allowed to slot into. This is where actually balancing your defences, health, and damage stats comes into play, with any character having to choose a weapon with stats and a passive they want, then balance that with accessories and the echoes socketed into everything. At the beginning of the game you're slapping whatever you've got into your gear, and by the end you're target-farming high ilvl and rarity echoes to min-max. As it should be.

Unfortunately, you really don't have to work that hard min-maxing. If you've any experience with MMOs or action RPGs, Wayfinder is very, very easy. I recommend any experienced gamer play on the maximum difficulty, Nightmare; anything below that and you'll be facerolling the entire game. Because the combat is so action focused, there's really no opportunity for injecting difficulty into it. Avoid the void zones, deal with the adds, you win the boss fight. Weapons and characters can be upgraded in power via items you find from dungeons and boss fights, but you can absolutely beat everything except the hardest fights in the game without ever doing so. And the hardest fights are number hard; the mythic bosses do more damage and have bigger health bars, they aren't more mechanically difficult. It's also entirely possible to heal-tank your way through the game and face basically no danger of death at all.

Story also sucks, frankly. Ooooh, the mystic architects of the world have all fallen away and an unknown darkness they sealed is crawling back into the world. Again?! I feel like that happens every week in fantasy. The one unique idea Wayfinder had was that you don't play as a hero, but as the memory of a dead hero, pulled from the void, so you spend the game trying to piece your character's mind back together.

The dungeon and boss system ties into this. You can re-live dungeons and bosses over and over, re-viewing the "memory," and you can add modifiers to that memory in a roguelike style, making a replay harder and forcing the dungeon to drop different upgrade items. Unfortunately, there are only 13 dungeons in total (and only 5 if you don't count palette swaps), so you're going to be seeing the same tileset over and over and over again, especially if you complete every quest, many of which require you to do a dungeon 3 or 4 times in a row with different modifiers attached. There are many more bosses, though, and they're interesting enough to keep your attention.

And that's all there is to Wayfinder. Shallow combat, low-to-mid complexity gearing, and a meaningless story, but still modestly fun. It's worth your time and money if you've enjoyed MMOs in the past but want to play one without all of the cancerous FOMO that they use to trap you in their ecosystem; it's like playing a completed MMO, one you can sit down with and fully finish. Give it a shot.

Previously an MMO that became a co-op game after the publisher left the game to die. Devs finished it themselves because they wanted to release their game and listened to all the feedback. What's left over is a pleasant future-proof RPG for you and up to three friends.

Play as little or as much as you want, no FOMO here! Enjoy!

An experience easily worth the price. I wish we could get more beyond mod support in the future, I had a ton of fun with this game!

Haven't played this game since before they lost their publishing deal, then came back to it yesterday. I thought this game was gonna get fked when they lwent to a single playe/co-op from a multiplayer game, but I've been playing it since yesterday and honestly I can say that I'm rather surprised that they didn't just let this game die. Shout out to the devs over at Airship Syndicate for not letting their baby fade into irrelevancy.

so uh game isent bad played it along time ago when it was an mmo and was wondering where tf did my characters go? other then that its fun but ide like what i already had grinded out to be back thanks.

for only 16 hours of gameplay, i can honestly say... i miss eating pussy. if you would sit on my face i would greatly appreciate it. not a jigalow, but would not turn away payment for services rendered...

coke dick on wednesdays

I'm only 20 hours in at time of this, but so far I've really enjoyed it. You can see the MMO roots it once had, but they ended up making it a really enjoyable 3rd person ARPG with fun combat and a really cool art style. Each character has a different playstyle and many different builds you can try, and also any one can equip any weapon type -- which I think is really cool for build variety.

Here's to hoping with enough sales and good reviews they can continue to add even more content (not that I'm even close of running out, I'm still in the first area)

Great game and has a ton of fun content to either play alone or with others. I really enjoy the grind. It doesn't feel like a grind because you get stronger and stronger and the repetetive dungeons do offer a lot of variations aswell so you will never see the same dungeon twice. I love this game. I think it would be best to play with others. Story-wise... it is nothing new but I think it is still worth it.

Absolutely adore JoeMad art, and Wayfinder doesn't disappoint! Spectacular visuals with gameplay reminiscent of Wildstar and Darksiders. Highly recommend if you're looking for an action RPG with a solid story that encourages exploration and experimentation with character builds.

I get that people hated it when it came out, but...

Right now, the game is fun, it's cheap, it has coop.
Altought it seems to be quite simple gameplay wise, I think it was worth every cent, and I didn't even buy it on promo.

A pretty solid, but not perfect game. After playing through it really makes me wonder what could of been if they had the funding to go all the way with this. The game is great at feeling like it's own thing and if they ever did a kickstarter to make a DLC I would totally throw some money into that.

This game has been and will continue to be a lot of fun for myself and my friends, Really hope this game is not abandoned. well worth the full price.

combat is fun, the questing is definitively in its MMO roots still but running though a dungeon with friends is super fun. as a solo game I wouldn't play much but with friends its well worth it.

TL;DR: Very pretty to look at, but everything else is bland and generic. It's a solid 6/10 game and I don't like to give negative reviews, but it's not hard to find better games at the same price point so I find it hard to recommend it.

While I commend the efforts of the devs to save it from being a dying MMO game to make it a complete product without shitty microtransactions, the game still evidently carries the baggage of poor MMO design choices.

Story? Don't care. Long exposition on a generic story that feels uninspired. Gets annoying real fast so had to start skipping everything.
Characters? A good amount of them and fairly well designed, but very typical and nothing really interesting.
Quests? Boring as hell. Side quests are a waste of time and not rewarding enough. You're better off only doing what's necessary to progress.

Now, everything can still be tolerated if the gameplay is fun, but no. There is no real depth to combat and it feels more like a beat'em up game. You can animation cancel with a block or dodge, but it only serves to let you continue your normal attack combos. You get 3 fixed abilities and 1 ultimate ability, and a weapon ability (depending on which weapon you use). THAT's ALL. All abilities are triggered instantly when you press the corresponding buttons, and then you just wait for the cooldown to rinse and repeat. No skill required by the player.

The "Skill tree" is mostly incremental stat upgrades and a few that provide additional buffs. There's very little to change how you fight and you don't even get to choose your fixed primary abilities. In terms of build crafting, this is extremely lackluster. You can do whatever you want and still get through just fine unless you play like a complete moron.

Endgame? It's just doing mythic hunts which is boss fights over and over again to get better loot or grind materials. Only a couple of bosses are any fun to do. The open world if you can call it that is pretty small. After marveling at the beauty for the first time, exploration and open world events are pointless.

If you take everything into consideration, you'll get why some people say it feels like playing a mobile game. I only got this game because of the many positive reviews, especially from some trusted reviewers. Now I feel they have scammed me.

This is a brief note to express my gratitude for the effort you’ve invested in creating this game. At its price point, this game truly stands out as something special and unique.

As a software developer myself, I can only imagine the countless hours of tireless work you dedicated to crafting such a stunning masterpiece. From the coding to the design, this game is nothing short of remarkable.

This is a very fun 7 out of 10 game. It's not perfect and has many flaws but the core game is fun. Pick it up when it goes on sale.

The game is not bad, not amazing, needs a bit more polishing but it is not bad at all.

The story - if youre not the story guy it can get annoying, personally i wish the dialogue was narrated while you are traveling or fighting and not just sit there and listen to audio or read text

The graphics - the graphics are not bad but unfortunatley it uses the same style as a lot of failing poopgames, kinda uninspired but im fine with it, things can be polished in the future

Character design - its fine, each character has pasives and abilities it starts with and a individual talent tree that lets you move into a more specialised play style, quite happy with the fact that any character can equip any weapon, and all weapons have a unique skill of their own kinda like a combo meter

The combat - can be a bit repetitive but its fun overall, not very punishing but you cant just buttonmash

The enemy - the enemy variety is alright but it could be improved, with time we have seen games with less but more chalanging enemies have more succes, less ads, more bosses please :)

Microtransactions - the game has none, if the game is strugguling they could add some, like a premium currency you can buy xp crates, or resources you have prev aquired, or stuff like that, essentialy a grind skipper, or early acces to new characters or weapons, micros that have been done right by other games.

The game overall has a lot of potential solid 7.5/10, maybe an 8 but it dose need continuous improvement, and if micros will financialy support the games improvement, if they are done in a tasteful manner i wont even be mad about it.

Good game, would recommend.

It is a shame that the publisher dropped out of this game, it has a ton of potential. However, it in current state it is totally worth the $25 USD price. The world and art are very interesting with an alright story. It is a good game to turn off your brain and do some grinding. This is probably a great game to hangout with friends and grind as well. I hope we can see some fairly priced DLC and/or new content.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at one of the best ARPGS ever made.
The art design is top notch, mixing high-tech with magic, valleys with ancient crooked forests, and, of course, it would not be an action-RPG without mines. All those environments are well-polished and look believable.
Character design is great as well, you are offered tons os cosmetic choices for both characters and weapons, and let me say, they look great and detailed to the extent of having their own sound effects.
Combat and abilities feel genuinely unique, no two characters are alike, no two weapons are alike. You will have quite different approaches while playing as different characters, neither will you use different weapon archetypes in the same way. You definitely do not expect souls-level depth of combat from a semi-independent dev.
To sum up, the game is totally worth its full price and deserves FAR MORE attention than it's getting now.

So, a failed MMO was successfully reshaped into a single/co-op experience. It was not perfect - I could list minor issues for approximately forever - but was a good time all in all. A shame that it's nearly impossible to shift the rating at least into the well-deserved blue.

It's a good game but it is VERY badly optimized. I can run Monster Hunter World at max settings with no issues but this game uses as many resources on the lowest settings and micro stutters.

It's been 4 days, I'm not addicted I can stop any time I want. But let me get this drop first.

This game is great. It's a shame what happened to its development but Airship Syndicate have turned it around and released a game I was glad to buy when it went on sale. I have one character on max level but still not fully upgraded and there is a lot of the story left. Every time I close this game I am just thinking about what I will be working towards next time I can play.

I definitely recommend this game to people who enjoy fast paced action and don't mind a little farming (I haven't farmed specifically for anything yet and the game is still appropriately difficult). Definitely worth playing and I wish I had someone to play it with, as multiplayer makes it more enjoyable.

I bought this on sale for $12.50 and even though I've only played 4 hours of it, I already think my money was well spent. This game is absolutely wonderful and extremely underrrated. There's nothing I can say that others haven't already. Gameplay is fluid and fast. The world is beautiful and detailed. The classes are fun and memorable. It's just a good time.

i passed this game since launch ,,,,with a meh
boy was i wrong now with update plays awesome no glitches or crashes
and visually stunning open world action rpg .
A must buy lots of customisation and powers etc , dont pass it
like i did totally hooked now .
graphics 10/10
story 6/10
gameplay 10/10

I bought three copies of this game, two for friends while it was on sale. Regret not paying full price. All three of us are at 100+ hours and Enjoying it. My only hope is that there is more content to come. I understand Wayfinder had a rough start. As it sets now, It is worth the price.

Really good hack and slash with loot. The visuals have the basic "airbrushed fantasy" vibe and don't particularly standout aside from some "glitch" visuals. Characters are designed with kits that feel very fun and have a vibe or theme to them. Lots of weapon variety but it does take some time for the sub-variants to start appearing. Gameplay is satisfying but I wish bossfights were more common. 8/10

Pros:
+ Fun Hack and Slash Gameplay
+ Good Weapon Variety
+ Very good trophy/player housing system
+ Characters have good mechanical design
+ Well designed character/loadout mechanics
+ Dungeon events and secrets are cool to discover

Cons:
- Bland and Safe Visuals
- First few hours of the game are rough with exposition dump cutscenes
- Side quests are extremely basic and boring
- Homebase (Skylight) is too large and spaced out
- You are showered in low value loot that can be dismantled without thinking
- Firearms feel incomplete
- Dual Dagger Parry isn't well designed, enemy attack prompts appear way too early

After playing for a little while now, I've started quite enjoying it actually. Initially I dropped the game, because the combat felt floaty, camera had certain jank. Now hear me out... those problems still persist, however I as a player started understanding the game and it's mechanics a little better, and now the combat doesn't feel as jarring as it did. Once you get some understanding on how the stats work don't stress about finding a guide, it's actually not that difficult to build a character yourself, given there are no fees for talent and affinity point respecs, etc.

It's been fun, the combat and world are pretty addictive. If ya like a straightforward dungeon crawler with really nice stylized graphics you'll like this.

fun game, Intense story... Not sure what it was about cuz i switched voice to German.

Been trying to get past the loading screen for awhile. Reinstalled twice, no luck and now sad that I have to refund the game before being able to play.

Solid combat, seamless co-op, decent buildcrafting, interesting bosses, and an overall generous package (it's as if it's an MMO except everything in the premium/cash shop is earnable in game).

Air Ship Syndicate did a really good job converting this from an MMO into an excellent dungeon crawler. The 8 Wayfinder classes are unique and fun to play and the customisation and player housing is stop notch. There are performance issues unfortunately but they don't dissuade me from recommending the game overall.

I like it a lot, the game is beautiful and feels good to play. The characters are diverse and interesting, each with competently designed abilities. They are all pretty visually customizable too, so you can really make it your own. The bosses are challenging and interestingly designed, the quests don't feel repetitive either. If you want Destiny with a WoW+Fortnite coat of paint, but less 'FPS', this is your game.

Hate cash shops? This game doesn't at this time have one, everything can be earned in-game! (This is a huge plus from me!)

My only real gripe with this game is there are just too many abstract ways to enhance your characters power, between gear, talents, stat boosts, other forms of enhancements, it can sort of be hard to keep up with, and its more than the average MMO (i.e Classic/Modern WoW). The itemization just feels a little bit bloated, like 'Fortnite Save the World'.

Really enjoying this game. Lots of loot & cosmetics to chase, house to decorate, mounts, combat is fun, exploration is rewarded, lots of lil mini games / puzzles / bosses throughout the dungeons, just a solid game to play =)

It's got peer 2 peer co-op, but I've only played solo so far hehe.

Really hope the devs continue to make DLC for the game, so we can support it =)

The game is good and worth its money
But man....the stinky of pay to win still lingers
All their level up systems are so needlessly sad
e.g.
you need 5 upgrades up to 5 times for a character
and another 5 for 5 times for each potential weapon
i know everything is free and obtain in game but
you are serveing me a turd shaped chocalate cake
i know its cake but its so hard to give it a chance

I don't understand the resources or progression, or even what the story is. I think they missed the mark on the onboarding for this one.

But, the visuals, the combat, the game feel, and just the general vibe, make this a nice chill way to spend your time. I hope the devs can fix some of the wonky aspects of this, and it could become something really brilliant. For now, it's a 7/10 from me.

the only real negative about this game is kinda the performance. it's not the worst ig, but it is fairly bad. other than that, the combat is great, has a fair bit of depth depending on who you play but also is simple to pick up and learn, there's even some tech (fairly small impact animation cancels and movement tech). you are encouraged to swap between characters and builds, dungeon modifiers are fun and unique, multiplayer works pretty well even across the world, aside from the occasional desync that occurs after playing for like 5+ hours together. build variety could be improved i suppose, but it doesn't bother me, especially on just 1 playthrough. overall, quite good :D

I was looking for an MMO-lite. I am having a good time. It could certainly use more depth and additional content, but I feel it is a solid fun experience and I like that it is casual.

Disclaimer: I am only 30 hours at the time of review. I purchased for half-off at $12 USD. This game has some bugs that hamper the experience, but do not make me want to put it down.

I purchased Wayfinder at half off and gave two copies to friends so we could play together. We are still in the first over-world zone of three and have no intention to stop playing. Wayfinder has 8 characters with a set of their own abilities, but a range of weapon to play with. Any character can use any weapon type. The weapon types have sub types with altered stats and weapon ability. You can customize the character and weapons with colors. More colors can be unlocked through in game shops with in game currency. No micro transactions. Additionally, characters have multiple armor sets that provide different looks and stats. There is a transmog system. Combat is a mix of light and heavy attacks, weapon abilities, and character abilities. It reminds be of Kingdoms of Amalur and Warframe

With its current full price cost of ~24 USD, I highly recommend with friends.

Reality fades into the Gloom...

Wayfinder's failure as an MMO means we get a delightful single player experience. You get an immediate sense of the production quality;the combat is decent, voice acting is solid, the design is well crafted and manages to be familiar without becoming generic. The world, lore, and characters feel flushed out.

All in all a well made game, perhaps not hitting the target as an epic MMO but at the end of the day becoming a decent ARPG style title. .

As someone who loved WildStar and eventually got burned out on World of Warcraft, Wayfinder has been the perfect blend of everything I’ve missed. It captures the vibrant world-building and engaging combat I liked in WildStar, while offering a fresh and relaxing MMORPG experience without the endless grind that made WoW feel like a second job.

The combat is smooth, the world is beautiful, and the co-op multiplayer is fun. No more worrying about raid schedules or grinding for hours. Wayfinder lets me enjoy the best parts of MMO life without the stress. If you miss the feel of WildStar but want a more accessible experience, Wayfinder is definitely worth checking out.
