Well, that’s not entirely true; I dabbled with <a href="https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/new-world-pc-review/" data-type="review" data-id="292930">New World</a> back when it first came out, but adult life didn’t afford me much time to invest in it in earnest. So I was genuinely curious to see what <a href="https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/new-world-aeternum-ps5-review/" data-type="review" data-id="1092426">MMOs were like nowadays</a>, and I gotta say, things certainly have changed since I was a boy. That’s mostly a joke, but there is a degree of truth to it. Back in the 2000s and early 2010s, so many MMOs desperately tried to replicate <a href="https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/world-of-warcraft-shadowlands-review/" data-type="review" data-id="225347">World of Warcraft</a>’s success and subsequently faded into obscurity. Games like <a href="https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/guild-wars-2/" data-type="review" data-id="659">Guild Wars 2</a>, City of Heroes, or even The Old Republic were a few of the standouts, but they all looked and played almost identically—that is to say, like World of Warcraft. <img decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chrono-odyssey-previewtime-to-die-2025-06-10-255436.jpg" alt="Chrono Odyssey Preview—Time To Die" class="wp-image-1120647" title="Time To Die In Chrono Odyssey's Early Access Preview" srcset="https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chrono-odyssey-previewtime-to-die-2025-06-10-255436.jpg 1920w, https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chrono-odyssey-previewtime-to-die-2025-06-10-255436-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chrono-odyssey-previewtime-to-die-2025-06-10-255436-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chrono-odyssey-previewtime-to-die-2025-06-10-255436-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/chrono-odyssey-previewtime-to-die-2025-06-10-255436-565x318.jpg 565w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /> Which is why Chrono Odyssey was so immediately striking to me because of just how different it felt from any of the MMOs I remembered... <a href="https://www.cgmagonline.com/articles/previews/chrono-odyssey-early-access/">Read more</a></img></img>
