User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Many years ago, I gave my dad this Steam account and made a new one for myself. He loved fantasy games, and this one clearly meant a lot to him. He passed away a few years ago, and I hadn’t logged into this account since. When I finally did, I saw he had 6,317.1 hours in this game. I just sat there staring at it. What’s even crazier is that he still gave all six of his kids a ton of attention. You never would have guessed he was putting in that kind of time. That’s a whole lot of time spent in a world he loved. I didn’t play this game with him, but in a way I got to understand a small part of what made him happy. For that alone, this game means more to me than I ever expected. Thank you for giving him a world he clearly enjoyed so much.

A Fresh Start in 2026 ESO Is Best When You Slow Down I’ve played The Elder Scrolls Online on and off since launch. In 2026 I decided to start over with a fresh account and a fresh mindset, and honestly it reminded me why this game has lasted so long. This time I’m focusing on one main character instead of bouncing between alts ( I have them for writs and mount training just not playing them for now), and I’m taking my time with the story and quests instead of rushing to endgame. ESO is fantastic when you play it this way. The world is huge, the writing is surprisingly good, and there’s an incredible amount of lore to explore if you’re willing to slow down. One challenge is that after years of updates and DLC, quest order can be a little confusing. New quests have been added into older zones, so playing the story in chronological order isn’t always obvious. My only real annoyance has been dungeon queues. Most groups are doing speed runs where they sprint through the dungeon, skipping enemies and only killing the bosses. It’s great if you just want quick loot, but it makes it difficult to actually follow the dungeon quests or enjoy the story if you’re new or trying to experience it properly. Graphically, ESO is starting to show its age in some areas. That said, the sheer amount of customization, builds, armor styles, housing, companions, crafting, etc. more than makes up for it. If you treat ESO like a theme park MMO where you rush to the end, you might miss what makes it special. But if you slow down, explore, and enjoy the world, there’s an incredible amount of game here. Recommendation: Play one character, take your time, and enjoy the journey.

This is my favorite MMORPG. I played this when it first came out on PS4; later moved to a PC when I got a gaming PC built for myself. I have sunk many hours into this game and beaten all of the main alliances, every chapter, every DLC content that has a story to it. Elder Scrolls Online has filled so many gaps in my lore knowledge that Oblivion and Skyrim didn't tell me growing up. Playing this game; I've learned the community atleast from the PvE perspective is super friendly and really fun to run dungeons, veteran dungeons, and trials with. Getting into the game can be a little daunting and overwhelming to the uninitiated; but if you just give it time you can find a home for yourself; my advice for overwhelm; is to not accept every single quest you see; stick to the zone guide and do area by area for your alliance quests; then do Coldharbor and finally then branch off to other content from there. Now that's my specific way of playing as a dedicated PvEr who had the same love of downloading hundreds of mods on Vortex to make different builds and characters with backstories. I do the same here in ESO now today; and it has so many cosmetics and character options that you can unlock later just for beating specific trials and veteran dungeons. At the end of the day; this game satisfies the lore, the gameplay, and the community. The holy trinity of a good MMORPG.

I heard a good bit about needing ESO + to really enjoy this game, but I've played the whole time so far without spending anything in-game and I am still having a lot of fun. Especially if you like Elder Scrolls it is worth it being able to travel to various parts of Tamriel within one game. I won't lie it is undeniably scummy some of the stuff they require eso + for, like having crafting material take up space in your inventory just so you get fed up enough to just buy eso + for the craft bag. Some areas are also locked behind eso + which kinda sucks but it is more understandable I think and you still have tons of stuff to do in the areas you get for free. With that being said, I have been able to do crafting stuff and manage my inventory spaces with the bank upgrades and bag upgrades just fine. So if you're stubborn and willing to put in a little more effort with the slot upgrades and organization, there should be no problem enjoying the game for hours without spending a dime. As someone who came into this as an Elder Scrolls fan and having no experience with MMOs, I think this game is very fun.

I play this game mostly for classic elder scroll exploration and quest experience, treating it like other elder scroll single player game while ignoring many of it's multiplayer aspects. Experiencing morrowind in the past before ES3 Morrowind release, meeting character of legends mentioned in some elder scroll games. It's been great!
