After about 20 hours with the Riders of Icarus beta, I can tell you that it’s not a game that will convert modern MMO skeptics. It won’t revolutionize the genre or the format. But it will let you ride dragons, and that’s not nothing.

In all seriousness, Riders is a totally competent MMO with some fun extra mechanics on the side. I haven’t seen what the late-game content looks like, since the beta currently caps at level 25, so I can’t speak to the game’s lasting appeal or how badly the free-to-play mechanics will affect the late-game grind. I can say that I want to play more, which is a sentiment I’ve not had toward an MMO in a very long time.
