World of Warcraft: Legion Critic Reviews

Blizzard learned from past mistakes. Legion has a plethora of content and stronger story elements on offer, but would benefit from more depth within the classes.

Legion is the best work ever done on WoW, and I say that as someone who remembers the original development process from alpha to the launch of the original “vanilla” box. I’m not known for giving high review scores. Legion earns one.

World of Warcraft hits new heights by killing off its past while also taking inspiration from it, this is by far its best expansion.

In World of Warcraft's 12 years of life, I've never seen an add-on this reactive and this specific in its targeting of individual issues that have upset long-time fans. New systems like world quests and mythic-plus dungeons are overflowing with potential to keep the game fresh and engaging for much longer. And the classic questing and raiding content is as good as it's ever been. Blizzard could drop the ball again, but it would be a damned shame to watch it fall.

Every time an expansion launched we said it was better than the previous ones, which was absolutely true. Legion is basically the most fun we had with World of Warcraft in years: it oozes lore, love and references through fun questlines, gripping plotlines and refined dynamics.

After months of missteps, Legion shows World of Warcraft finding its footing again and asserting its relevance after more than a decade. Many elements make this an expansion worth enjoying, including class halls, gigantic zones filled with memorable stories, better socialization, the actiony new Demon Hunter class, and world quests.

World of Warcraft: Legion does the greatest job so far of really connecting players to its world. Unlike the past several expansions, I really want to be a part of this universe and see this story through until its end. This is the best WoW has been since Wrath.

Legion absolutely feels like an expansion that will improve on everything good Blizzard can deliver, and will hopefully shape into an absolute monster of an expansion.

If Blizzard can continue to deliver, Legion sets the stage for what could be the best chapter of World of Warcraft yet.

Blizzard Entertainment delivers a masterful crafted world, filled with details and groundbreaking changes to the long lived epic fantasy franchise. Players finally will get the recognition they deserve as the leader of their class, wielding the power to repel the Burning Legion with the new artifact weapons.

Warlords of Draenor disappointed a lot of fans, but Blizzard is back with Legion. The new areas look amazing and have a much bigger story, the Artifact Weapons add depth and Demon Hunters are awesome. Now we just need more content patches, Blizzard.

A peerless addition to Blizzard's biggest beast, showing that the beast is not only still alive, but its heart is pumping more strongly than ever.

The Broken Isles, New Dungeons, PVP "Honor Leveling", and World Quests offer more than enough to sate hungry fans on the next leg of the journey of World of Warcraft.

The true outcome will be determined by post-launch content and how well it integrates into the already thoroughly satisfying experience, but for now the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth has inspired a landscape of greatness.

One of the best WoW expansions in terms of available content once you reach the level cap. Artifacts, order halls, world quests and professions' improvements make you go search for your new recipes and upgrades.

World of Warcraft is back to its full splendor. An epic story is the background to the new expansion, that brings improvements and radical changes in the mechanics. The classes have been completely revisited and, despite some simplifications, Legion guarantees an impressive variety.

World of Warcraft: Legion reinvigorates the world of Azeroth with superb storytelling across five beautiful and well-made new zones on the Broken Isles. Along with clever tweaks and changes to mechanics and a fun new class, this makes Legion one of the best expansions yet.

Legion injects excitement into a game that for the past year has survived on being better than most. With the addition of features such as Artifact Weapons and cinematic story driven content, World of Warcraft’s sixth expansion raised the bar back to where it should be while at the same time adopting ideas that will take it into the future.

The role-playing element has come further forward and the stories take up more space. In short, Legion could be what breathes life into World of Warcraft again.

With the new World of Warcraft-expansion, Blizzard manages to bring new life to a widely beloved mmorpg that's been on the decline for ages. The Demon Hunter Class, new, intriguing zones and questlines and extended character development possibilities combine to form the greatest WoW-experience to date.
