Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG that's set in an open medieval fantasy world. It features a player-driven economy where nearly every item is player-crafted. Players can combine armor pieces and weapons suited to their playstyle in a unique and classless "you are what you wear" system. They get to explore the world as they take on other adventurers in thrilling battles, conquer territories, and build a home.
What makes Albion Online unique compared to other games in the same genre is that instead of a pre-built and linear path full of game-provided quests, it gives players the chance to write their own story and thus play it in countless different ways. The game’s sprawling world has five biomes that’s spread across two massive continents. In addition to near-endless opportunities for exploration and discovery, there’s also a wide range of PvE and PvP options for solo and group players.
Albion Online is available for the PC via Steam.
