However once I exited the tutorial into the real world, I lost all interest. It wasn&#8217;t so much post appocolyptic as it was barren desert land. Go-to missions with static, lifeless NPCs was too boring.</p><p>Jumpgate however has a really nice game world, the graphics are pretty enough, although surprisingly not as high as the old EVE Online. I do prefer Jumpgate&#8217;s twitch-based combat system, as opposed to the regular point-and-click combat of most old MMOs, but twitch-based combat is nothing new these days &#8211; the novelty has worn off. I don&#8217;t think this game will be much competition for the highly anticipated (for me, anyway) Black Prophecy <img
