Wayfinder: Summer Game Fest Trailer | Early Access Coming this Summer
Every staple for an MMORPG is present. You have your world in danger, your material hoarding, tool crafting, mix of magic and melee brawling (whatever fits your preferred playstyle, of course), but is it me or does it all look a little generic? I’m not much of an MMO person, so I might not really get it.
On the other hand, our Ed got to take part in Wayfinder’s closed beta and came to asimilar conclusion, if a little more nuanced than me.
“Back in the day, I reckon Wayfinder would’ve been totally my jam,” he wrote. “Beneath its generic surface is a live service game that’s plenty rewarding and, crucially, makes the levelling loop fun with weighty combat. The world is genuinely stunning at times. And I do find myself getting pulled into the currency chase. But I’m unsure whether it’s a fresh enough take to survive in such a competitive space, what with your Destinys and WoWs and Genshins.” I will say that it’s pretty though, any game that’s not a smudge of brown I’ll give props to.
Wayfinder doesn’t have a full release date past “coming soon” but like I said before, early access will be available sometime this summer so sign-ups should be kicking off soon.
