The gameplay is amazing, endgame has a few options and very rewarding gear acquisition mechanics. Currently the steam reviews are getting bombed because of server issues since release, which are getting better everyday. The foundational mechanics are great, class/mastery have room for additions and the faction system allows for different endgame focus areas.
I would highly recommend the game to anyone feeling overwhelmed by PoE or bored by Diablo.
I wouldn't call it bombing if the problem is legitimate, and server issues on an online game is definitely a big problem.
Well, the game has 0 server issues if all you want to do is play alone, since you can play offline. Yeah, most people want to play online, sure, but saying that the game is bad and should not be bought only for its online issues is not a fair review either. Also, I've been playing it and have two lvl 70 online characters with kde rate play since the release, so it's not like it's unplayable.
Yeah, it started on day 1 though. Release day always sucks and the devs have been more than transparent
It is definitely a good middle ground between the two. It's not the Blizzard bullshit, has lots of customization options, but isn't the labyrinth of PoE that requires studying and planning your build before you even start or you'll be useless in the late game.
I feel like it's pretty easy to just start experimenting and see what happens. When I decided to try Rogue I would not have expected I'd end up doing a 2- handed build, but dashing around swinging a massive 2Hand club 6 times a second feels pretty satisfying.
