6. Black Desert Online (KR 2014, EU/US 2016)

First impressions gameplay

As I’ve said before, this game has the best character creation system of any game (and certainly of any MMO) in addition to having photo-realistic graphics. Seriously, this game looks good, and no two player characters are going to look the same. It was one of the most highly anticipated MMOs and is still insanely popular. Again, a buy to play model means no subscription. Combat is action based with manual aiming, not the usual skill cooldown of other popular MMOs like WoW. Healing is limited. You need to have skill to make sure you get through fights without taking too much damage. But seriously, if you want a good looking, deep MMO, this is the one for you. There isn’t another one like it out there.

High fantasy.

With a unique flavor.
