Gameplay itself is ostensibly unchanged assign skills to number keys, engage in real-time combat but a plethora of new and better-balanced powers grants depth. Mercifully, the quest system now offers more imagination than "go here, kill this" or "find 10 of these". Instead, missions guide players through Guild Wars' story, which sees the disparate races unite against Lovecraftian dragon gods, proving an unusually captivating tale for an MMO.
With art direction so bewilderingly gorgeous that I was frequently stunned into silence, GW2 tops its predecessor in just about every regard. And, yes, it's still free to play. Time to rethink that Warcraft subscription.
