Project: Gorgon

This game is a truly unique product, and it’s definitely not for everyone right now. We live in an era of "fast-paced achievement" culture, where people use guides to speedrun everything or just blindly run from one quest marker to the next. This game, however, is pure Old School. It captures that ephemeral idea that an MMO can be a fun, adventurous experience driven by the player, rather than a forced plot packed with flashy cinematics. It’s a game for those who truly value gameplay. Every skill you learn and every experiment you try will yield its own rewards. I bought the game back in beta after trying out the demo because I was genuinely curious to see where it would go. If you want to actually enjoy it, just relax. Pick a build you like and start exploring the world. Theorycraft your own setups, then test them out in dungeons and against bosses. And yes, playing solo is totally viable if you take the time to learn the mechanics (well, except for a few specific moments, perhaps). On top of that, the community is very social and always ready to team up. Bottom line: if you're tired of modern MMOs and their current trends, just treat the leveling and world exploration as the core part of the gameplay. Plus, you can always try running the hardcore, one-life "DeathCore" mode on a cow or a pig. It's an absolute blast.

Зачилься, братишка, и играй в своем темпе. Это игра про познание мира, пропуская его через себя. Здесь каждый найдет чем заняться, контента тут валом. Короче, пробуй демку, и если почувствовал отклик у себя внутри, БЕРИ без раздумий. Заодно англ подучишь и людей найдешь клевых. Как-то так)

I really wanted to like this game because it captures the spirit of old-school MMOs, but the execution is utterly unacceptable. After 250 hours, I cannot recommend this to anyone. 1. Technical Catastrophe Servers: The server quality is disgusting. Constant lags and disconnects. It was somewhat excusable when there were 2,000+ people online, but when there are only 400 players and the ping hits 15 seconds, it’s a joke. Stability: The game is a system killer. It crashes constantly, freezes the entire OS, and literally causes the GPU to shut down. This is dangerous for your hardware. 2. Terrible Combat and Game Design The enemy and combat design are fundamentally broken: Stunlocks: Mobs can keep you in an endless stunlock with no way out. Power/Mana System: The "Power" system is a nightmare. It drains even from simple movement during combat. If you are fighting a group, you can burn your entire bar just by taking ten steps, leaving you with nothing to attack with. Recovery Bugs: Often, the "In-Combat" state doesn't end after enemies die. Your Power won't regenerate, forcing you to face the next encounter with an empty bar. 3. Visuals and Customization Ugly Aesthetics: The graphic design is revolting. Every helmet looks like a piece of trash, and you can’t even hide the head slot. Greedy Systems: While transmog exists, it is implemented poorly and feels "greedy." All gear looks terrible—my character looked like a dirty hobo for 250 hours. Monetization: Limiting the base game to one character and charging full price for additional slots in a game this broken is beyond greedy. 4. Developer Incompetence It feels like the developers are trapped. They spent 10 years "piling up" low-quality content and now they are forced to choose between fixing that mess or developing new locations/skills. It is clear they cannot do both at once. Summary: The "old-school" vibe is not worth the technical headaches, the poor design, and the disrespect for the player's time and money. Stay away.
