Old School RuneScape - Game Review

Overall, the game is so packed full of stuff to do that you can't keep up. There is something for everyone in the game and you can choose to be skilled to just focus on your skills, money-maker to just play the grand exchange with your merchanting skills, or even dabbling in the fun mini-games that I found to be so addictive.

But I recommend that you choose something and set a goal, this game isn't the easiest game in the world so don't overextend yourself.

I've always loved the mini-game and side-quest aspect of any game and OSRS delivers that enjoyable feeling. They can actually be beneficial and could give you helpful items that can save you in the future. Sometimes I just want to forget the storyline or quests and just play some fight pits, occasional rogue's den, or even pest control.

I personally loved blast furnace and rogue's den because not only was it kind of fun, but I liked how I was getting something in return for doing it. Rogue's den helped me get my gear for some pickpocketing fun to make some gold and the blast furnace helped me with some experience and smithing gains.

This next part might not be good for every player, but I personally liked how the quests were quite difficult. It's very time-consuming, difficult, and you do have to follow a guide, but honestly, I just felt that it made the game more rewarding.

Completing the Achievement Diary system is not an easy feat to accomplish, especially if everything is on max difficulty. But no matter what you do and how small your gains are, it always feels so much better when you finish it. It gave me this fulfilling feeling that not a lot of games can give today.

I really liked how the progression system takes its time and it takes a very long time. I feel like this aspect adds more fun to the game, making it last longer and you won't beat it too quickly and just feel nothing afterward.

The best thing about the quests is the journey you've gone through with a cool story too. Just remember to run as fast as you can to your corpse if you die; I always hated the fact that you could lose your stuff when you die.

There is one thing that I tried and failed miserably. The Inferno solo instance...That was a nightmare and I still need to finish that. But even though it's difficult, I really had fun playing it.

I personally didn't find the PVP aspects of the game fun. It's not like it's based on RNG, it's more like whoever can click the fastest and change items mid-fight wins. But I guess some players might like that.

The skilling system is very good and quite simple. I personally loved mining or woodcutting; mining was a little bit dangerous sometimes, but I could always go for gathering some wood if I needed some extra gold.

Also, thieving and smithing was my second best set of skills to work on. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent pickpocketing master farmers or playing the blast furnace mini-game.

Overall, this game has everything you could ask for in an MMO. I found it to be extremely fun and enjoyable. I could lose track of time playing it because of how immersive and addictive it feels when you play it.
