Positives:

Great visuals, sound, music and probably the best combat for an aarpg.

The negatives:

If you're looking for a game like Diablo this is not it. There's no loot. No real build experimentation, although there is two builds per class. The end game consists of raids and using tokens to upgrade your gear. The raids can be very frustrating with many wipe mechanics, meaning if one person screws up everyone has to start over. The biggest downside to this game is the toxic community. Everyone is trying to get all their raids done every week on 6+ characters so they have very little patience for anyone who doesn't know exactly what they're doing.

If raids interest you then I'd say give it a shot. There are events fairly regularly where they give you a powerpass to level up your character. Try to join a discord learning party as it's really the only way to learn and not get raged at.

Overall a pretty fun twin stick shooter. Great visuals and interesting story. Fun gameplay. Loot is a little limited.

Fun game play with a mix of skills, weapons and verticality. A little dated with the music and humor.

Good story and characters. Pretty short but enjoyable.

I'm a huge ARPG fan and in my opinion the best ARPG out currently. It's from the developers of titan quest and uses the same engine and multi-class system. It has plenty of depth without feeling overwhelming like Path of Exile and builds don't feel as cookie cutter as Diablo 3. There are no seasons or leaderboards so if you're interested in that kind of thing this is not the game for you. This is more of a classic arpg like diablo 2. The end game consists of hunting for nemesis monsters and fighting roguelike dungeons.

Pros:
Many combinations of classes leads to a lot of variety and replayability.
Has fairly good controller support (I still use a mouse for selling items and navigating the map but they are working on improving that)
Has an interesting Victorian era atmosphere if you're tired of medieval settings.
Free updates even though the game is complete
Mod support
NOT always online!

Cons:
Pretty much requires mods to be playable (There's limited stash space so Item assistant is a MUST.)

Runs on an old engine it shows sometimes
Graphics aren't as polished as D3

Highly addictive hardcore baseball management sim. If you like the nitty-gritty-looking-at-spreadsheets aspect of baseball management then this game is for you. Offers near endless amounts of replayability.

All of Borderlands 2's story DLC is pretty fantastic but this is by far the best one.

I really want to recommend this game because I loved what they did with Enemy Within/Unknown, but unfortunately I can't. This game is HORRIBLY optimized. The framerate becomes a slideshow when you are in the Avenger and is only mildly better during the tactical parts of the game. It is borderline unplayable and extremely frustrating. I've looked up various fixes online and nothing works. It doesn't seem to matter what you computer's specs are because people are reporting problems on even very high end GPUs

It's mind boggling that they would release a game in this condition with so many people reporting problems. As much as I like what this developer has done previously, I can't recommend this game until there is some patch to fix this issue. If you do decide to buy this game, make sure do all of your optimization fixes in the first 2 hours so that you can get a refund if it's still not working.
