World of Warcraft: Legion Review
September 30, 2016
Expansive! Diverse! New! All of these words describe the new World of Warcraft expansion, Legion. This expansion was highly anticipated due to one of the older expansions called Burning Crusade. Legion is supposed to have the same lore. This is what’s getting all the WoW players excited. Let’s see how Blizzard did.
The Plot: 10/10
The plot line was the most anticipated part of this expansion. Many persons’ favorite part of the WoW lore was the part with the Burning Legion. Due to this, Blizzard needed to nail this part of the expansion. Otherwise, Blizzard would have a lot of its WoW community angry at them for not getting it correct. In fact, they nailed it perfectly. I played the questing zones through for the experience, and they nailed the lore behind the Burning Legion.
The Graphics: 9/10
“The graphics are stylish and cartoonish and haven’t changed much,” said junior Eric Miranda. The graphics haven’t changed much. They are still very cartoony, but still stylish and updated compared to other open world RPG games. These graphics are still loved by most of the WoW playing population. I would say they crushed it when it comes to graphics, but it would be nice to see some updated graphics.
Lasting Appeal: 10/10
Previous expansions brought WoW’s popularity down by at least half. It went from 12 million to around 7 million subscribers. Legion brought a lot of these players back to play. Most of them enjoyed the expansion so they’re gonna stick around. It made people wanna keep playing and spending money on the game.
The Verdict: 10/10
“This expansion improved World of Warcraft compared to the old expansions,” said Miranda who has played for nine years.
