World of Warships: Legends

World of Warships: Legends features a lot of fast-paced, tense naval combat but too much focus on microtransactions.

World of Warships is unfortunately a very good game. It is balanced and offers a varied and strategically interesting experience. It's unfortunate, because with its mercantile elements it will empty your wallet as quick as a shipwreck. It is up to the player and his conscience to make the difference. If you have friends with whom to play and organize in cooperative plays, it's even worse. Anyway, it's like the dealer ... The first dose is free, so what's the problem in trying ?

A simple premise that moves beyond the shallows, and into deep waters.

While I was skeptical at first, World of Warships has made the transition to consoles better than I thought possible, and is a blast to play!

Wargaming and its ‘World of’ franchise have turned military vehicle combat into a fun, popular, and extremely lucrative series of games that are very well done.

I was surprised by how much fun I had with World of Warships: Legends. This version lacks content of the PC version, and there are some areas to improve, but the game is quite really good.

For those used to playing World of Warships on other platforms, you may find WoWS Legends a little restrictive in its current state.

You’re getting an excellent maritime combat simulator, a free history lesson and a look at some of the most impressive feats of engineering from the 20th century. How could you go wrong?

Even skippers used to playing the PC version might want to give the PS4 version a look. It has been built from the ground up in order to leverage the processing and graphics power of modern consoles, and far more content is available from the get-go. If you want to skip the process of upgrading your ships and waiting to unlock more of the fleet that the free-to-play version has, you can opt to just buy the entire fleet all at once for a fixed price.

Overall I enjoyed my experience although I found I needed to be in a very tactical frame of mind to take on World of Warships Legends as there is a lot to take on board and a lot of careful decisions to make when out on the water! Happy hunting! I award World of Warships Legends a Thumb Culture Gold award.
