B0aty Reviews Brighter Shores: A Cozy Start for Gower's New MMO

By Ryan in Feedback • Published on November 13th, 2024

In his latest video, B0aty reviews Brighter Shores, the early release MMO developed by Andrew Gower (𝕏), known for creating RuneScape. B0aty, a dedicated Old School RuneScape player, was drawn to the game out of respect for Gower's legacy and spent over 100 hours exploring its mechanics. He describes Brighter Shores as a "cozy" experience, designed for gradual, grind-based progression. He highlights several innovative aspects, like its passive leveling system, which allows players to gain experience even while logged off. The game also has a unique MMO feature where creatures scale to the player's level, fostering a communal environment where new and veteran players can train in the same areas.

While he praises the immersive music and sound effects as some of the best he's encountered, B0aty finds the combat and skilling systems overly simplistic, with notable idle time between actions, which he feels slows down gameplay. He suggests improvements, like faster resource respawns and an "emergency" healing option, to add depth and flexibility. He also shares concerns about the value of quest rewards, noting that some don't justify the time investment. However, he believes that as an early alpha, the game's foundation is solid, giving it a tentative 6/10 and suggesting it could grow significantly as development continues. Overall, B0aty plans to revisit Brighter Shores with each new episode, recognizing its potential as a secondary game while remaining committed to RuneScape.
