Still worth buying?

[Santan]

Looking for something to play till the next PoE season arrives, how is this game at the moment after the hype "died" ?

[Calamity Heart]

It's pretty solid. The longevity of it is probably gonna be up in the air until the first real cycle when it's clear what seasonal content is going to be like, but it's a solid enough game to be a breather from PoE between leagues. Just the barebones 1.0 got a good 50 hours out of me so far and there's still stuff for me to do and other classes for me to play around with so it'll probably get a good few more hours before the next cycle. It's not mindblowing, but it's good enough. I'd say it's worth 35 bucks.

It's fun. I wouldn't call it a master piece but it's fun. It'll be neat to watch it mature. I got my $35 worth for sure

I'm mixed about it. I like the combat, skills and skill trees, the crafting (item tweaking) is nice too, but the levels are really boring and that's for the entirety of the game. They pretty much feel like something out of a roguelike, but empty (except enemies) and static. Never played PoE btw.

Yes

got 170-180 hours in Early Access trying out the different classes

Got total of 270 hours or so now by playing Necro again, and intend to try out new classes in time

For its price that's easy to recommend

(in comparison i used wow tokens to buy Diablo 4 ultimate edition, and i STILL feel burnt by the purchase of Diablo 4)

I't a solid game: combat is fun and class is well-built. 30 bucks well spended and let's see how the game will be supported and what kind of content will be released

If you like PoE then sure go for it, what PoE did to Diablo 2 is what LE does to PoE
It's basically just a streamlined and get-into-the-fun spin on Path of Exile

Skills like Frost Claw and Fire Trap can get you up to full blasting speeds PoE style too

Game is awesome, best Game i bought in a long Time.

[Caracal]

Short answer: NO, Nope, Nada, Forget it. Move along.

Long answer: if your a casual player don't buy it. However if you like games with a lot of 1-shot mechanics and stressful boss fights, then proceed. It has interesting ideas and is reasonably polished, casual friendly it is not.

For 35$ you can not beat it
When games like diablo 4 are charging 100$ for bs

I have played it for 179.1h now, would say the game is overall very addictive, hard to class it when it comes to a mix/match vs others, sorta like Diablo 2/Grim dawn/Poe. Not a big fan of the campaign because its just a grind once you go through it once but you feel as though you should go through it with every new class you run because of the free passive points from quests.

Kinda wish the free passives were just granted to you on all other characters on said account once your main or "first" character has completed the campaign and all other required sidequests for passives.

As for the cost i bought it when it went live initially, and also ended up upgrading to ultimate, so yeah overall i'd say its well worth the money.
