Hopefully a lot of people comment here because I like critiqueing things and I know i didn't say a lot in this review but I was worried about going on to long. I want people to critique my critique and tell me what I should work on. Please leave some tips for me also

hmmmm, I think it's alrite. But what kind of target audience are you aiming for? People who played Mabinogi or people looking for a new game? New people looking for a game are not gonna know that smash is a skill that break def or etc despite you explaining it.
I don't know about anyone else, but the first thing I check when i'm looking for a new game, is the classes. You should explain about the classes and how it doesn't restrict you to rank a linear class path.
Also reading your review I didn't see you mention about the race in the game, or how race affects the game.
^Only my opinion. Other than that I think you did fine.

Someone who's not familiar with MMOs might not know what "grindy" means, although that'll probably be a minority of those reading your review. I think there were also some possible issues with clarity, like "Smash> Defense Counter>smash". "Smash> Defense, Counter>smash" would've been better, or even better yet, something like "Smash skill beats Defense, whereas Counter beats Smash".
The sentence you used to start your second paragraph irked me a bit as it serves no real purpose, but I guess that's personal preference. The last paragraph confused me a bit, it sounds more like an ending to an essay than a review.
It was pretty good, I just have a lot easier time pointing out my opinion on flaws than qualities.

So far, yours is probably one of the few ones there that are actually a review. Some of the ones I've seen on Steam are just people cranking out the hate machine on Nexon and aren't even talking much about the game. Just customer service >>
Now I'm not saying that Nexon is good or bad. Or that people's opinions or "facts" are invalid. But when you're writing a review on a game. You talk about the game. Not the publisher.

omg yes. When I see mabinogi mentioned on other forums, they bash the game for having the nexon label. That makes me so sad and mad that so many can be so close minded before even giving something a try.
