Lost Ark is a game I've really enjoyed, fusing the action RPG gameplay and combat of games like Diablo and Path of Exile with the structure, multiplayer focus, and encounter design of MMOs such as FF14 and World of Warcraft. It even won me over with its increasingly weird and wonderful story. Yet its demanding grind and need to log in for regular daily or weekly checklists to keep up meant that as soon as I took a break, it was hard to come back. Now, Amazon Games is unveiling a dramatic set of plans including an all-new mode, improved grind, and harder challenges for veterans.
