So recently I've been picking up Wynncraft with some friends and realized how fun it is to be chatting and laughing while doing some dungeons. This time around, I will be making an in-depth analysis of wynncraft and skyblock, and the pros and cons of each. queue the intro.
Hi! I'm Siero. Today, ill be doing wynncraft and skyblock: an analysis. So let's get started!
Wynncraft
Diversity: 5/5
Immersion:4/5
Grind:3.5/5
Game size: 5/5
Let's start with the smaller one. Wynncraft is known to be one of the greatest Minecraft MMORPGs ever, with a giant map built by master builders as well as a vast variety of armor and weapons. It seems in every corner, there is something new to discover, new armor and weapons to unlock, and new skills to level. Let's analyze this.
SKILLS:
Overall, wynncraft has far more skills than skyblock. It has pretty much every skill that skyblock has, along with more like cooking, woodworking, and more. They are relatively easy to level and are pretty self-explanatory. However, they are not really useful as of early game, so a lot of people tend to slack off until way later, where the skills actually do something. This is where skyblock exceeds. (continued at the SKYBLOCK section) however, wynncraft's skills are fun because you have to go out and do things to acquire the ingredients, instead of just directly do one thing over and over.
STORY/PROGRESSION:
Wynncraft's progression rate is insanely well-built. It is steady, adapts to new areas, and is perfectly centered in between new concepts and grinding mobs. This is very unlike skyblock, where the exp levels for new skills are greatly apart. Take mining for example. You are only halfway to fifty once you are at level 49! however, in wynncraft, the mobs, dungeons, and quests give more exp accordingly, making the game smoother and easier to move on.
QUESTS:
Wynncraft's quests are one of its most appealing features. With over 200 unique quests with new concepts, enemies, and bosses to fight, the possibilities are endless! they can range from getting wheat from an abandoned farm to ransacking an old haunted mansion in search of a legendary relic. With so many quests and so many places to explore, it is almost impossible to have nothing to really do in this game.
IMMERSION:
Wynncraft, to be honest, does not seem that appealing at first, with everything being kind of monotonous and you don't know where to go. However, when you start playing the game for real, things start to get interesting. New equipment, legendary bosses, and dungeons around every corner, with new features, attacks, and spells to boot! I've found that once you get I, not a long quest, it's really hard to put it down.
Skyblock
Diversity: 3.5/5
Immersion: 7/5
Grind: 5/5
Game size: 2/5
potential: 8/5
Now! let's get to the more popular out of the two, Hypixel Skyblock. Skyblock is the largest RPG in Minecraft, due to its wide range of selections and a large community. With an interesting island-based playstyle and an arsenal of weapons, magic, and melee alike, once you get started with this game, its really hard to stop!
SKILLS:
Skyblocks' skills are, well, grindy. With the objective just to do the same thing over and over again, it can get decently boring based on your motivational level. However, with new equipment and pets to help you out, it can quickly spiral into a fun beat-em-up style minigame with endless enemies. In addition, some skills, like slayer and fishing, take new accounts into play and turn them into a really fun way to express your rng! Its also really fun to do these with your friends!
STORY/PROGRESSION:
Skyblock lore is all over the place. There is not really much of a story in it and minimal questlines. The progression rate is out of sync, and you have to show true dedication to prevail through the grind. But nonetheless, the game maintains its fun, communal nature throughout it. When you play dungeons, there is new equipment galore, team cooperation, and strategies for every individual room. When it comes to skyblock, there are a million unique strategy guides to doing things around the game and it's really fun to try these to turn your progression and interest up!
QUESTS:
No need to talk much here, skyblock is not really a quest-based game. With minimal quests, there's not much to say.
IMMERSION:
Skyblock, starting out is really, really immersive. I could dive into this game four hours on end without even knowing the time, and when I play with friends, it all seems to fly by. this game is SUPER IMMERSIVE. More immersive than wynncraft, definitely. Skyblock just has this magical power to grab you and pull you in, and the next thing you know you're playing the game like a full-fledged player.
POTENTIAL:
The potential of this game is, least to say, incredible. With new things added every while or so, who knows what will happen when this game is complete? We can only wonder what kind of ideas the admins could create. They have the power to do pretty much everything, so let's see how they use this power to turn skyblock into a fun-filled powerhouse.
CONCLUSION
After careful review, both games are insanely fun, with their own unique features. However, at the time, I would have to say that Wynncraft is the victor. With a much bigger game and more features overall, it prevails. However, Skyblock is very new, and it is already catching up. With new updates to come, it eclipsing wynncraft is almost absolute. I look forward to the day when they are both evely matched!
Welp, that's all for now. See ya!
