BLACK DESERT ONLINE
8 BEST MMOS AVAILABLE NOW
Black Desert Online is arguably the prettiest MMO on this entire list – but that’s not all it has going for it. Players will be able to explore a nicely-sized world with many companions at their side, working their way through quests, grinding monsters, or simply fishing away at a peaceful river. Probably the most standout feature, aside from the beauty of this game, is the combat. Black Desert Online utilises a combat system where the player must manually aim at their targets, instead of just being locked on; this makes for some really satisfying and engaging kills, especially when you’re fighting some of the games huge world bosses. Another thing that strikes you about this world is how immersive it feels: you can simply be riding your horse through a city, taking in the bustling life, and really feel like you’re there – just for a moment.
Something that’s definitely worth mentioning is the absolutely stunning character creation in this game. Anyone you create looks almost real, and you can edit every single portion of their body in so many different ways – odds are you’ll spend longer on character creation than actually playing. One thing that this game suffers from right now is a diminished community – but it’s been bolstered immensely by the recent release of the game onto Steam, and the announcement of a console version coming next year means you can play this game with a controller, too, a feat not many MMOs can pull off these days.
