Over the years, many of you probably noticed that MMOs aren’t really my thing. Sure, I had a nice run in 14 with my pladin, checked out the free-to-play Neverwinter, and even played Elder Scrolls Online with my daughter. But they are the type of game I pick up occasionally then move on.
This brings me to Project Gorgon, a game that I can honestly say makes very little sense sometimes, and I mean that in the best way possible. I walked up to a bookshelf, and there were real books, written by players. Half the books were just advice from players for new players, and the other half consisted of short stories players made up about their in-game characters.
My first death leveled up my dying skill. Yes, death in this game is a skill. It offers perks for all sorts of things. Unless you decide to play in hardcore or permadeath mode, dying has no real consequences. It does offer you an excellent chance to role-play, however. Every time you die, you get hit with a random, let’s call it a debuff. The game tells you outright what it is and that it is only for roleplay purposes, and it ranges from your character being paranoid that people are reading your mind, to they forgetting how to speak.
I can’t speak much on the story, some hag wipes your memory for reasons I don’t know after 25 hours of play time and dumps you on an island. You then play that island as a tutorial ( there are a few ways to get off it) before reaching the main world. This is where you can start doing favors for people, trying to learn skills like carpentry or foraging, or ingredients to cook new foods. You can even decide to learn some sort of magic.
Now, don’t take this as a review for Project Gorgon, 25 hours into an MMO, is still learning how to play it. I have barely cracked the surface of what there is to do in this game. I am really just discussing how it really lets you feel like the world is open for you to just live in and do things. It is absolutely worth checking out, especially since it has no monthly fee and only costs $20. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
