Lord of the Rings Online launched over seven years ago and turned free-to-play in 2010, with huge success up to this day.
It’s difficult to find a game with a richer lore than Lord of the Rings Online – this is, after all, the fantasy world that inspired many other fantasy worlds, with characters that everyone is familiar with, even if they don’t really know what all the fuss is about. We wouldn’t say that DC Universe Online is a very deep MMO, but it’s extremely enjoyable and makes for a perfect entry point for those who are trying their first MMORPG. Featuring a hybrid system, it requires quite a bit of skill and attention, and while it can get quite button-mashy, it’s still tremendous fun in PvP. It’s all very smooth to handle, the character creation is one of the most in-depth that we’ve ever experienced and combat is a big and very enjoyable part of the adventure. If you really want to feel like a superhero, running at super speed or flying like you never did before, this is also your game. At the moment, DC Universe Online is the best superhero MMORPG and while the competition is trying different approaches, such as the loot-driven, clicky-clicky Marvel Heroes, this is our definite pick.
