World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
WoW's biggest expansion in years, but the endgame grind and borrowed power systems test your patience as much as your raid skills.
GamerScout Verdict
Stellar narrative and mechanics wrapped in a progression system that punishes casuals and rewards hardcore commitment.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
I've sunk time into Shadowlands, and it's a masterclass in world-building undermined by gear treadmills. The four Covenants offer genuinely different playstyles and story arcs, the raid tier is mechanically tight, and leveling alt characters feels purposeful. But the expansion leans hard on seasonal power systems (Conduits, Legendaries, Soulbinds) that feel designed to time-gate progression rather than expand it. If you're grinding M+ dungeons or pushing mythic raids, the gameplay is there. If you're solo-questing or casual, the story missions and zone exploration hold up beautifully until you hit the soft cap. The real question: are you playing to experience a new world, or to keep pace with the gear tiers? Shadowlands excels at the former but demands commitment for the latter. Casual players will find plenty of narrative meat; hardcore raiders and mythic-plus grinders will find the systems feel more punishing than previous expansions. Your mileage depends entirely on whether the endgame treadmill clicks for you.
