Few games are deep enough to be considered high art by critics. Eve Online is one of them. In 2013, the Museum of Modern Art added Eve Online to its permanent collection of games. Only 22 other historical games like Pong and Street Fighter II share the honor.
The reason why it is present in such a high-profile environment is not difficult to explain. Eve Online is probably the best and coolest game of its kind. It is a huge open world multiplayer online role-playing game, where players build spaceships and explore the vast universe of the game.
It’s a space-age obsessive-compulsive gamer daydream, with some of the most complex menu systems of any MMORPG to date. If micromanagement customizations and science fiction are some of your favorite things, you will love the expansive setting of Eve Online.
History
One of the reasons Eve Online is one of the most successful MMORPGs of all time is its backstory. It has a backstory full of mystery, shaped by the story of what other players have done in the past. As an important component of the game is exploration, removing the various layers of information that circulate in the game’s fictional universe is a fascinating aspect of the gameplay.
Without spoiling much, the basic plot of the story goes like this. In the distant future, humans create a way to colonize a cluster of thousands of stars light years away from Earth. Suddenly, a catastrophic event destroys the EVE warp portal, their means of interstellar travel, leaving the colonizers to fend for themselves. Enter the player.
