And you know what?
The game took me by surprise.
To be totally honest, I entered Wayfinder’s closed beta with trepidation.
Aside from covering live service games onInventory Space, I don’t play them all that often anymore.
Often, it’sbecausethey don’t cater to players like me that I struggle to stuck in.
It’s even a surprise that Wayfinder took me by surprise.
Admittedly it tickled my dopamine recepticles, but it also tired me.
I have done this in umpteen games.
The cycle then repeats, from what I gather.
The dungeons are smartly laid out, with interesting enemies, and combat that sings.
The little details are strong, too.
Animations are fluid and the menu systems have a pleasant springiness to them.
Back in the day, I reckon Wayfinders would’ve been totally my jam.
The world is genuinely stunning at times.
And I do find myself getting pulled into the currency chase.
If you like any of the games I’ve just mentioned, I reckon Wayfinder is worth checking out.
If you’ve done your time in the live service mines, then I doubt it will appeal.
I suppose only time will tell - and it’s definitely worth watching out for in future.
