10 Humongous Video Games You'll Completely Lose Yourself In

Since its release almost 13 years ago, its a testament to how grand WoW is that it is still going so strong with its epic online community. With an entire world of Azeroth to explore, filled with lore, quests, monsters, wildlife, and most importantly, other adventurers, WoW continues to grow as expansions are regularly released, the most recent being Legion in August, 2016.

WoW combines the customisation and in-depth lore of the truly great RPGs with the excitement of playing alongside thousands of other players from all across the world. The simple graphics keep gameplay smooth and accessible for everyone, from hardcore gamers that sinks hundreds of hours into the game, and huge swathes of money into their rig, and more casual gamers with simpler setups.

As exciting and challenging as the story can be, the true essence of WoW is found in the online guilds and communities. Players join their fellow heroes as they embark on epic adventures, battling challenging enemies that can only be taken down with large enough teams that balance each others skills and abilities, and work together in unison. The rare loot they obtain can be shared out to craft new weapons and armour, increasing their strength and ability as they wait the challenges yet to come.

Such dedication requires hundreds of hours of investment in building relationships with your guild members, preparation, questing and battling across the perilous and growing landscape.
