    For people here, give last epoch a try. Studio is fair, game is better than diablo 4 and more modern than POE. Really fun to play

      It got a 6.1 metacritic user review, more negative than neutral, but its steam score is very positive with 70:20 split. Looks like most of the negative reviews were around launch time? It is a Tencent game, which is problematic, but it was also very controversial for bugs including duping items, and actually it looks like they’re still in the middle of those controversies as discussions about the state of the game are actively being removed from various websites…

      Pass.

        There were a lot of server problems at launch, but apart from that the game is REALLY good, even for people like me who spent 600hours on PoE. I bought Last Epoch during Early Access and they have done so much good work, it’s very impressive. The devs are very reactive to feedback, and when streamers said the game was bad in very early access, they listened to the complaints and made it better. Zizaran said they had the best reaction towards negative feedback.
        I havent heard about the duping items things, and it is less owned by tencent than PoE is.

      I liked last epoch. Got about 40 hours in with two playthroughs. Necromancer is just a blender of death, and old wizard man drops meteors on everything.

      The end game is a little tepid and there’s no ng+, so I’m done with it for now, but I feel like I got my money’s worth.
