PvE content is pretty much considered a given in MMORPGs: Even games without virtual combat usually pit the player against something environmental, whether it’s weather and terrain, health and stamina, a crafting clock or movement timer, or even the player’s own mental memory and quickness.
All the same, when “best PvE” is an “official” award, people’s minds go for the “top five” MMOs as we consider the volume of PvE combat content on offer, and suddenly we’re judging combat and not the base of broader PvE. I want to avoid that pitfall today and ruminate on which MMOs out there actually offered some sort of PvE that wasn’t just More Combat and More Dungeons this year.
Which MMO offered the best PvE experience in 2019?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
