World of Warships

ИМ

World of Warships is a free-to-play game where you can take old-school warships into battle. It's not a hard-core simulator, which makes it more approachable. But if you're looking for a simulator, you might be disappointed. That said, the graphics are great. The physics are satisfying. The controls are polished. And the map design is very good. IMO this game is very well made. Since it's free-to-play, it does have micro-transactions. But it's not really pay-to-win. More like pay-to-skip. You can absolutely play it without spending any money. But be prepared to grind your eyeballs out. For a new player, the game doesn't offer much. The only game modes available are PVE matchmaking and PVP matchmaking. But at the lower tiers (1 thru 5), the PVP is full of bots. So ironically, the PVE has more human players than the PVP. You don't gain access to other game modes until you get a tier 6 ship. That's where the real fun starts... ranked PVP matches, PVE story missions, etc. But for a F2P player, getting to tier 6 can take awhile. This is where the "pay-to-skip" aspect comes in. Pay some money for a tier 6 ship, and you're good to go. Or you can settle in for the grind. I did the grind, just to see how long it would take. For me, it was over 40 hours of game time to get a tier 6 ship. But I wasn't laser focused on getting to tier 6. So I'm sure you can get there faster. I haven't joined a clan yet, so I can't speak to that. TL;DR I think the game is enjoyable. If you like old-school warships, and you have time (or money) to spend, I think this game is worth it.
