It's hard to describe EVE properly in a review as the game is completely different for everyone, you are given a framework (should you do the tutorial missions) of what you can do to give you an idea of roles that you can take on but you are not forced into anything, EVE is what you make of it.

You can sit in hi-sec relativley safe and run missions, mine ore, play the market, craft things to sell, run cargo for players, defend people, explore and more. That's pretty much more than most games like this offer, and that is just hi-sec.

Should you want to be a bit more daring, earn more money, blow up some people then enter low-sec and null-sec...

This is for me where the fun is, you get all of the above and more, join a corporation, defend your systems, enter faction warfare, mine ore that sells for millions, scan down combat / data / relic sites to earn a fortune or hell monopolise the corner of a market.

Like I said it's hard to describe because everyone has their own way of playing the game and enjoys different things.

I've tried a lot of things in EVE, some that I thought would be boring as hell that turned out to actually be really fun - This sentence has never rung more true for the actual game, I thought it would be boring but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I love it and every person I have introduced to it has thought the same and stayed!

Give EVE a shot, try and play with a friend or ask the amazing community in rookie help should you need any help, plenty of corps take in new players and are very helpful.

I just want to add to this (was looking at my past reviews, seen this and ended up looking at other EVE reviews)

I see a few negative reviews, many of these are people going into the game expecting a "safe space" area like a generic MMO. There is NO safe space. Hi-Sec is SOMEWHAT safe, that doesn't mean you can just frolic around thinking life is dandy and there is no danger.

Yes you can now play for free, but naturally there will be limitations.

A dev made a good reply to someone who made a review crying about the aforementioned because he got killed (Get used to it, it's EVE) I will post it below, I feel people come into this with misperceptions and then blame the game, when in reality it's themselves playing a game they didn't fully understand. Anyway, here is the devs response which hits the nail on the head:

As EVE Online got older and had more time in the wild, the players of it embraced the notion that there is no "safe" space and disruptive gameplay is allowed. For many players this is very attractive while for others it means that high security zones are actually the most dangerous places in the game.

You are correct that some of the endeavors in New Eden do not fit exactly into a casual playstyle, but there are casual corporations that make it much easier to get what you desire from the game when you have a limited time to sink your teeth into it.

In the end you tried EVE Online and that is all that we can ask. Hopefully something you hear in the future will entice you back to the game and your adventures can continue, but until we can only wish you safe flying.

Thank you for playing and reviewing EVE Online

There isn't a game in the world that even comes close to what EVE does and honestly I doubt there ever will be. That's what makes it special and that's what makes it worth spending time on learning how to play. It's overwhelming at first but there are MANY corps you can join that will essentially hold your hand and help you through everything whilst providing protection and more.

You have World of Warcraft, you can compare that to Guild Wars, ESO, Black Desert...the list goes on.

You have Counter Strike, you can compare that to Valorant, Call of Duty...the list goes on.

You have EVE....You have EVE.

If you want to try something that is unique. Try EVE.
