Performance problems
Overall, the reviews for New World present a dynamic and immersive world with satisfying combat and rich crafting systems. However, players express frustration with the game's monetization model, particularly the locking of mounts and core features behind an expensive DLC. While many players appreciate the improvements made since launch, there are persistent technical issues and server-related disruptions that affect enjoyment. The sentiment is mixed, with some finding it worthwhile due to its progression and player interaction, while others remain critical due to these unresolved issues.
