Albion Online is a fun sandbox MMORPG with a clever progression mechanic and deep player-economy. The mid to late game grind and hardcore nature might turn away anyone looking for a more casual experience.
This is a game that you can play on older machines and still be enjoyed. It's also one that really manages to break free of the typical amusement park feel, ultimately allowing you to write your own story. It's great concept, and it's one that very few MMORPGs have taken up. If you're looking for something a little different that allows you to play your way, then Albion is definitely for you. That is, however, if you can handle the isometric view and the brutal PvP.
Overall, I had a lot more fun in Albion Online than I would have expected because I generally don't enjoy sandbox games a whole lot. They seem to have struck a wonderful balance between pointing player towards activities and letting them wander and find adventures on their own.
The combat is fairly enjoyable, and the PvP aspect of the game is likely its greatest asset.
Albion Online is a MMORPG that requires an idea on how to play it. Sandbox Interactive has made a game with lots of possibilities but the trick is to learn how to use them. It doesn’t show you how, it throws you into some very deep and muddy waters and makes you figure it out.
