What critics said
Rectify Gaming80This is RuneScape at its finest. A whole lot of work in order to become the best at the game. We should not be surprised by this and that's what makes this game so good.
Nintendo Life70In melding the mechanics of popular survival games with classic RPG elements from the MMO that inspired it, RuneScape: Dragonwilds crafts a solid experience that honours the spirit of its namesake. It is vast, mechanically rich, and often unforgiving, to an extent that might ward off more casual players. But just like the intimidating dragons you're pitted against, it's a challenge that can be conquered provided you're willing to slow down, spend the requisite time learning its ins and outs, and slowly build your arsenal.Or you can just spend all your time building a nice, cosy shack in the starting area - your choice. If you've got a few hundred hours to kill, Dragonwilds is a good candidate for your next virtual home-away-from-home. Let's just hope Jagex makes good on those promises of graphical improvements on Switch 2 sooner rather than later.
TheSixthAxis60RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a decent survival game, but it's weighed down by too much busy work. After the first tech level everything requires so many resources that you'll feel more annoyed at having to gather them than excited by the prospect of getting stronger. If you've got a bunch of friends to play with regularly these issues aren't insurmountable and you'll probably have a good time, but if you're playing solo will want want to lower some of the settings, abandoning your trophies, and you'll still have to do all the busywork yourself.

Review: RuneScape: Dragonwilds (Switch 2) - A Slow-Burn Survival-Crafting RPG That Underwhelms Visually
Phr33 st00f pl0x. A few years ago when I tried Old School RuneScape for the first time, I spent hours puttering around the starting area taking on basic quests, chopping down trees, and slaying goblins in the surrounding wilds. After each lengthy session, I would exit the game, lean back in my chair with a contented smile, and realise that I had accomplished essentially nothing of note. This is the quintessential RuneScape experience: an MMO so expansive and storied that you could easily drop hu

It's that last one that's important for today's purposes, as a new update has arrived in Dragonwilds that revamp the skill, as well as add in some courses for you to pseudo-parkour across.
