Lost Ark is blowing up and I can totally see why

I love this trend of MMOs making you feel really powerful from the beginning. It’s so refreshing, and joyful. Games like Black Desert Online and nowLost Arkjust want to be fun right away, and it’s great. You immediately get several dazzling skills you might pulverise hordes of enemies with - and you do.
