Sadly, I was never able to experience this MMO like it was intended. During the time this game was active, I knew next to nothing of The Matrix, and I was too busy playing RuneScape to care about starting another MMO game. So, because of that, I will only be reviewing all of the cinematic cutscenes, plus I'll take a few looks at actual gameplay. There's really only one true reason I'm reviewing this and that's because this is canon the the Matrix universe. Taking place after The Matrix Revolutions, hopefully it somewhat bridges a gap between Revolutions and Resurrections. Here's my review:

Regarding the cinematic cutscenes, it was interesting.... at first. We have an appearance of The Oracle consulting your character, where she's also seen with Sati. There's also a few missions with Morpheus, Niobe, and Seraph. It was interesting to hear Morpheus discuss with The Oracle about Neo's body and why the machines haven't gave his remains to Zion yet (which is a big plot point in Matrix Resurrections). I found it dumb to have Morpheus die by a dude made up of flies; missed opportunity there. Eventually, the cutscenes all turn to storyboard segments that just seem cheap, and partially finished. But omg the last 2 chapters have got to be the worst artwork I've seen in a video game. I could barely comprehend what I was watching half the time. So bad. The gameplay itself was not that great either, and if you've ever played an MMO before, you can picture what the combat looks like. I do not recommend this to Matrix fans; leave this lore in the past. Matrix 4 explains everything you need to know.
