The best MMO games 2020: live a second life on console and PC
What can I play it on? PC
What’s the payment structure? Free-to-play or subscription
There’s been a lot of high fantasy in this list so far – if you’re more of a space age type then you might want to take a look at Eve Online.
A word of warning, though: we said Black Desert Online is complicated but Eve Online edges to beat it. This is a game world that’s been going for 14 years and it’s become somewhat infamous for being one of uncaring betrayal. While you can do whatever you want in the game, just remember that others can do whatever they want. And sometimes that involves ruining you. Space colonization is a tough game and there’s no room for lasting friendships.
EVE Online is kind of the ultimate in sandbox MMO gaming – it’s a game world driven by its playerbase; a playerbase capable of dragging out wars and schemes over periods of months with plenty of fighting, smuggling and sabotage in between.
Just because it’s not the easiest game to learn doesn’t mean you can’t do it, though. Unlike the creators of Black Desert Online, over the years developer CCP has attempted to make it slightly more accessible and the developer has put together a thorough and helpful tutorial for beginners.
Besides, sometimes there’s no better lesson than getting something horrifically wrong. The introduction of a free-to-play option is also a great chance to dip your toes in and see if you’re interested in delving deeper.
