8.0
In the end, Elsweyr is a worthy addition to the legacy of the Elder Scrolls Online world. The new necromancer class, the Sunspire trial, and the dragon hunts all have kept me playing for months after completing the main questline.

Critic reviews
- If you’re still salty about not getting an online Skyrim; get over yourself. Elsweyr is great and if you don’t agree you’ve probably spent the last month with your face in a massive pile of moon sugar, like Tony Montana at the end of Scarface.
- 7.0Elder Scrolls Online heads to Elsweyr, the homeland of the Khajiit. While the environment isn't as impressive as Morrowind or Summerset, Zenimax Online's storytelling is still impressive and entertaining. Unfortunately, the combat mechanics need a little more punch and the addition of dragons ends up be less impactful than advertised. It's a good expansion, but feels like a step down from the previous few.
- 8.0Elsweyr is a worthy successor to last year’s Summerset chapter, even though the main quests don’t live up to the hype. It’s actually the excellent storytelling and exploration in the side quests that outshines the underwhelming dragons with heartfelt drama and comedy. Meanwhile, the new Necromancer class is by far one of the best additions to ESO since the early days, with some very clever unique mechanics that work in any role. And of course, the land of Elsweyr itself is one of the best and most visually interesting areas to explore.
- 7.0We loved unleashing the power of the undead through the new necromancer class and enjoyed how dragons made for a formidable threat that allied the entire community. We did feel though that the story wrapped up a little too quickly and the zone of Elsweyr just didn't have the same visual appeal as other zones, however. With the previous Wrathstone DLC and now with Elsweyr ESO's year of the dragon has started promising and we can't wait to see what comes next.
- 7.0Struggles to do justice to what should be its show-stopper moments, but breathes much-needed life into the Khajiit and their homeland.
