World of Warships
Of course, all this good news doesn’t come without any negativity. This is a free-to-play game after all and Wargaming needs money to stay alive, but at least it does this in a friendly and unobtrusive way. You have to go looking for the purchase option in the top left of the menu, and the game never springs nasty adverts to get you to purchase some doubloons (currency only bought with real money), premium ships or a premium account that offers more account experience, ship experience and credits per match than a standard account. That said, once you hit the middle ground, around tier 5 (out of 10 tiers), things start to grind in terms of unlocking these war machines – lots and lots of battles are required, and if you do want to go the cash route, expect to spend lots of cash unlocking the highest machines….we’re talking over £100 to build through up to one of the top end boats…that’s a lot of hard earned cash for a digital ship, no matter how it ranks in the tier list. While the boat costs are Wargaming’s prerogative, these ships can still be earned from playing the game. One thing I really didn’t like was the limited space to store boats without paying real cash. This means that once you hit the dock cap, you have to cough up money to buy more space or sell a ship to create a slot. It’s not as costly as buying a boat, but it’s a shame that this is one of the only times in World of Warships that felt it was locked behind a paywall.

World of Warships is basically virtual Battleship only with much more action and strategy involved.
