![]() ![]() If loot grinds appeal to you, so will Trove, at least in the early hours when the experience is fresh and the environments unfamiliar. Seconds after the throwaway cutscene it casts you into a hub that becomes your eternal starting point for every login, and from there it's all about leaping through portals into procedurally generated zones peppered with dungeons and bosses ready to scatter loot. It seems to think of itself as an MMORPG with Minecraft trappings, but in structure, it owes far greater debts to Diablo 3's Adventure Mode than World of Warcraft. That's too bad, because apart from the push to pay and the tutorial problems, Trove is a fun, creative game it just makes you cautious of the game experience because it's held back by these issues.Play No, Trove is more interested in loot than storytelling. ![]() Sure, you technically can play Trove without ever spending a dime, but unless you do, you can't help but feel like it's not a complete game, Plus, it doesn't take long before all those nickels and dimes you toss at Trove start to really add up. ![]() Even when you do start to get familiar with things, it feels like something's missing, and it is - at least until you start spending actual real-world money to add things to play around with. The number of commands, menus, tabs, and other controls are overwhelming, especially if you're a newcomer. For starters, the tutorials don't even come close to explaining how to play the game. It's just frustrating that it feels like pulling teeth to actually get to any of it. It gives the whole thing a more personal kind of feel. You're not just fighting bad guys in any old world you're defending a world that you've been actively designing. The ability to craft whatever you can imagine is fun there are some great examples of just how crazy you can go with building in the dungeons and multiple environments to help boost your creativity and inspiration. When you jump into the game, the customization options just keep coming. Right off the bat, there's a ridiculous amount of customization, not only in the class you choose to play but in how you want your character to look. Trove also gives you a measure of control over the world that you're part of. That's why people love games such as Minecraft, Lego Worlds, and Portal Knights. It's one thing to be the hero thrown into a world of adventure, but it's something else completely when you're the hero of a world you've had a hand in building. This online adventure promotes creativity and cooperation, but its depth and lack of tutorials make it harder than it needs to be. ![]()
