Professional reviews from gaming critics
WoW: Cataclysm brings sweeping changes to the world of Azeroth, with two new playable races, new levels of power, challenging quests, dungeons in all-new zones, and dramatic changes to familiar aspects of the game in the wake of a world-shattering disaster.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.Deathwing has ascended from the depths of Azeroth, laid waste to many cities, even shifted continents and created [...]
Blizzard's persistent approach to keeping things fresh for the community makes the monthly fee to play the game feel negligible when talking about entertainment per dollar spent. Even with over a hundred hours booked into WoW: Cataclysm I'm still asking questions, learning new things, meeting people, exploring new places, but above all else, having fun.
If you include the vast changes to the core game, Cataclysm is far and away the most impressive expansion to an MMO ever made, but if you just isolate what Cataclysm itself gets you, it's ultimately less content than Wrath of the Lich King. It's also better content than Wrath, with engaging storylines, inventive quests, and some very striking visuals. Even without the core Azeroth changes, Cataclysm is an excellent expansion in its own right, and worthy of your attention whether you're a veteran of Northrend or a grunt just getting your toes wet for the first time.
