Analysis of the Aeternum of the New World

With this statement of intent offered by the title of the analysis, we clearly express our position on the New World Aeternum.

There’s nothing better than taking one step back so you can take two steps forward. After a somewhat bumpy PC launch due to nature play for free of the title, Amazon Games He learned from his mistakes. So much so that we are faced with a relaunch that significantly changes everything that has been seen so far, including console users among possible subscribers. And we must take this into account, since New World Aeternum is postulated as one of the best massive role-playing adventures that can be found to play with a controller. A fundamental factor that we will detail in the following analysis.

Direct to boarding

The first thing that stands out about New World Aeternum is that it is no longer a free-to-play game. It may seem like a burden, but Thanks to its price, we will now be much freer from micro-transactions and secret advertising. Be careful, we will have skins and artifacts that we can buy with real currency, but this will be something completely secondary that in no way spoils the nature of the game or the pace of progression. In addition, We will have a facelift, new cinematics and much more content so that our adventures through Aeternum last us hours and hours.

We are faced with a MMORPG, and you already know what that means. On this occasion, we We will control a hero who unfortunately found himself on a very particular island with supernatural forces. Its inhabitants cannot die, because when they do, they “resurrect” directly by returning to their old ways. They will not be alone, since there is a corruption that turns people and turns them against him. With all of this on the table, we will help the people of the kingdom restore peace, solve the mystery that plagues its shores, and of course, learn our own destiny.

The Aeternum of the New World has a history solo very powerful. There is good dialogue, everything intertwines in a very interesting way and the exploration and missions are very enjoyable. This doesn’t mean that we also like destroying huge beasts in groups, or that we even want to dedicate yourself to other tasks such as crafting materials, buying and selling items, or fighting for different factions of the kingdom.

It was time to have good control with command

We’ve seen some genres that aren’t quite suitable for certain platforms. We all know the difficulties of adapting a strategy title by mapping its commands to the controller, or how complicated it is sometimes to make a point and click under conditions. The same can be said when looking at issues from another perspective. fighting game with keyboard and mouse? It’s unthinkable. Something similar happened in the world of MMORPGs. The proposals are so grandiose that it was difficult to adapt all the spells, abilities and menu interfaces to a console target. Or at least that was the case until now, because New World Aeternum has shown that this can be done and more than satisfactorily.

I promise you that the control I experienced both in combat and in the interface was incredible. No branches with a multitude of abilities for our hero. We will not need to take out a notebook to see which sword is most suitable due to its statistics for our fighting style. We also won’t need to break out the calculator to find out if we’re being ripped off with the price of armor. Everything is more intuitive and in just a few minutes we will move through the menus and with our skills like a fish in water. This may be a burden for more experienced users of the genre, but enjoying the tranquility of our sofa is a wonderful feeling.

The grandeur of simplicity

At our disposal we will have several classes to choose from at the start of our adventure. There will be soldiers, swordsmen, rangers, musketeers, mystics, occultists and destroyers. Each with their own set of skills and weapons that will be most compatible with their fighting style. Of course, they all share a common denominator: alternating melee and ranged combat. There is no bad class, and like a good MMORPG title, the flaws that one class may have are offset by the virtues of another specialization.

Everything has been thought of so as not to overwhelm the user. The skill set will be very simple and we will be able to equip ourselves with a maximum of three special attacks for each fighting style. When our character levels up, You can only spend experience points in five very well differentiated categories. Force, for friends of blunt weapons; dexterity, for those who handle foils, bows and ranged weapons; intelligence, for magic wands and other types of supernatural powers, concentration which will help us heal and constitution, which will improve our lives.

To infinity and beyond

Each weapon group will also have its own progression which we will improve as we use our type of weapons. Those of you who have enjoyed gems like Skyrim will know what I’m talking about. In fact, using the pickaxe for mining, the ax to cut down trees or the sickle to cut bushes will also have a level improvement if we use it. And I repeat, Everything is so smooth, easy to understand and so easy to improve, that it is very grateful to increase the experience of everything.

The fact that Aeternum is such a large island with so many quests to complete as well This allows each user to focus on what they like most. There will be those who go out as lone wolves to accomplish the main missions. Others will prefer to dedicate themselves to conquering kingdoms in massive, fast-paced PVP battles. If you are more of a pacifist, you can devote yourself to collecting and buying/selling materials to the highest bidder… There is no rush, and everyone is sure to find their place in the New World Aeternum.

Teamwork

Speaking of multiplayer combat, From a certain level, missions where we will need the help of more people will be unlocked. and other additional content where our exploits will benefit the side we belong to. we will choose one of the three available factions, and from there we will be assigned all kinds of missions this will help us defend and expand the interests of our group. Even if we do it well, we will have a love nest in the area that we love the most and we will be able to decorate the house to our liking. Trust me, when you spend so much time with New World Aeternum, it’s appreciated to have a familiar, comfortable space to come back to after a long day at work.

There is a lot of content online that guarantees us hours and hours of entertainment. Expeditions They will open from level 25 and will constitute cooperative missions that can accommodate up to 5 users. Later, we will even have other types of expeditions with much more risk… but with better rewards, of course. There will be 3v3 arenas and huge ones where 100 people will fight with swords and blows. Then there is the Influence race,

All that glitters are not duplicates…

Obviously, even if we highlight all the benefits, New World Aeternum is not perfect, far from it. Many of the missions we carry out will be “messengers”, coming and going all the time. What about collecting materials, killing a certain enemy, talking to a citizen in another city… I understand that due to the nature of the game it is difficult to create a much more story deep, but the first measures are very shocking, where we are alone and the narrative charge is very complete.

I tried to avoid making all kinds of comparisons with other games, but in this section it is impossible for me not to buy New World Aeternum with Throne and Libertyanother MMORPG from Amazon Games that I recently reviewed. Specifically, I need to compare its visual section. It’s true that New World Aeternum doesn’t look bad, and it contains vast worlds full of color and people swarming here and there, but is one step below play for free developed by NCSoft. I need richer locations, greater definition in the textures, the expressions of the characters, a staging with more spectacular spells… Of course, We will have translation and dubbing in Spanish. It’s not that it’s perfect, but it is appreciated that studios are committed to dubbing their games in our language for greater immersion.

Conclusion of the Aeternum of the New World

Amazon Games and Relentless Game Studios are reinventing an MMORPG that they launched years ago on PC in a much more complete version accessible to all types of players. It’s true that this is not the case play for free like other recent proposals, but what has changed is a very complete title, accessible with a huge amount of content whether you play alone or delve deeper into its multiplayer aspect.

New World Aeternum stands out in many ways, but I was amazed by its simplicity in controls and character progression. It’s a pleasure to enjoy the game with a controller, without excessive use of shortcuts with the triggers and an interface that invites us to navigate through it. The fights are also very good, and although they are not as spectacular in terms of particles or effects as the other competitors, they will be enough to fully immerse us in each brawl. Without a doubt, a very good and accessible experience, which makes it ideal both for those entering the genre for the first time and for other types of users looking for direct and simple action.
