Windows Central Verdict

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road is a solid second half of Secrets of Apocrypha, building on events that first unfolded in last year's Shadow over Morrowind storyline. Exploring the gorgeous West Weald is fun, as is tracking down clues to the mysterious Ithelia, though many of the quests don't take as many big swings as I would've liked.
