  • Definitely I would check out Grim Dawn and Last Epoch.

    Grim Dawn is an insanely sprawling game with tons of class combinations and builds, made by the people who made titan quest. The graphics are dated as hell but it never stopped me from loving it. I also find the lore very fun.

    Then there is Last Epoch, which is coming out on the 21st. I’ve been playing it for 3 years, even done some testing for them. Personally some of the more casual friendly things that you can’t find (like the crafting actually being amazing, seasons giving content to non-season characters, etc) just are unmatched and give the game a very good flow. It will be out in 1.0 in ~ a week and I definitely think it’s worth a glance because I find it is a great middle ground between diablo’s dumbed-downness and Path of Exile’s sweatiness.







  • I think this is the issue I have with it as a long time fan of Bethesda games. It was the dense and interesting world that made it all mesh together.

    Without that…you realize that 80% of their quests are just “loot, kill, return” or “talk to this person, talk to this person, done” and you realize that the faction quests and somewhat the main quest are the only meat of the game…

    I have been forcing myself to play it the last couple days (I sailed the high seas it to see if it worked on PC, but just kept playing because the intro felt so bad) only because my girlfriend is watching over voice chat and commiserating with me.

    There is something there for the people who loved settlement building and customization, with the ship building and outposts. But if you want immersion…play a space sim. If you want procedural stuff…play No Man’s Sky. It just doesn’t have that Bethesda energy. It feels tired and sterile and uncomfortable to explore.
