Are you itching for an untapped realm to adventure with online friends for hours? Well, the long-awaited entry into MMORPGs, New World by Amazon Games, is finally here. It is a vast open-world in the early stages of player population since the game debuted on PC this September 28. After several open Betas, the final gameplay has been tweaked and ready for everyone to enjoy. The Load Screen briefly covers what to expect from the action-adventure RPG that makes it stand out.
New World’s setting is a supernatural world where ancient magics have twisted the realm into a dark reality full of unclaimed towns and resources. The game starts the player off with a detailed character creation menu, then guides them through the bare fighting and gathering mechanics while giving them a unified crafting station. Eventually, crafting and gathering specializations show when players get to the first significant settlement. Many digital properties are still unclaimed in early zones since the game just launched, which could give early joiners an advantage.

The developers made it easy for players to find out what type of crafting, gathering, and fighting styles they find appropriate. Every base item needed for each area, like mining or woodcutting, requires gathering common objects that do not require additional tools for harvesting. Those items spawn everywhere in the starting zone and repopulate quickly despite the number of players currently harvesting a section.
New World’s gameplay adapts to everyone, so the more they use a skill, the better it becomes, and no skill tree is cut off from a player if other ones start first. That means if a player chooses to mine as their initial skill, they can also become a woodcutter or hunter without any additional cost or sacrifice. Player stats will affect the overall abilities, but they do not bar players from entry at low attribute levels. A gamer can have no added Strength points but still wield a sword or spear, which benefits from that stat. Also, the player can reset stats from the menu system if they decide another build is better for them.

The game has all the crafting and gathering systems expected from a true MMORPG, with material and equipment types dividing the categories. Wood, iron, stone, leather, and cloth are some of the base components, and each has separate crafting stations for various details of processing the materials. Once the player reaches each section of town, the map clearly shows these station locations, but they may need to zoom in on the large map that generally comes up with the “m” key if the icons remain hidden. There is also an auction house full of the community collected supplies for those who do not want to gather materials directly and speed the leveling process up.
Overall, New World is just getting started, and getting in on the ground level in a massive third-person action-adventure MMORPG will give some players an advantage. For instance, the factions of New World have yet become very populated. Also, limited housing and other resources will soon become unavailable at low costs. Despite selecting a low population server, the overlapping in-game worlds become heavily inhabited with others. Want to get in on the intense MMORPG action?
