I remember when New World first came out back in September 2021 – it was Amazon’s first big attempt at an MMORPG. The game took place on this cool, mysterious island called Aeternum, and it had a really interesting vibe, blending colonial exploration with some spooky, almost biblical themes. I spent a lot of time gathering stuff, trying out different weapons, and getting into faction wars with other players. Before they released it on consoles in 2024, they changed the name to New World: Aeternum. Honestly, even though the world was really intriguing and it was an open-world game, it got pretty mixed reviews on Steam – a lot of people weren’t super impressed.
