Early Access Review
This game has some things that make it better than PoE 1 but still has a very long boring campaign that EVERY character has to do without being able to skip or have some early mapping system. The endgame was total trash the mapping system it does have is made worse by some contrived tower buffing system that is really boring, tedious and plain not fun to engage with. There are a lot of 1 shot mechanics and very little ways to craft/customize gear compared to PoE 1 or Last Epoch. I can see a future where the game is good, but it's not there yet. At least it's a step in the right direction from PoE 1. There is very little quality of life in inventory management or sotrage without having to buy the really cool bank tabs with real money, so convinience is stuck behind a pay wall. I honestly wanna play it, cuz the builds are fun, but this game does not care about players feeling good or having fun, for that reason I think Last Epoch is a much better game when it comes to fun, quality fo life, and easy of leveling/power leveing alts, and campaign skips.

The game is also horrible for multiplayer, had to stop playing with my freind cuz we happened to go to separate islands in act 4 and i kept crashing cuz we ended up being out of sync with each other due to different quests states or something. so if you play with friends make sure you pick the same first island to sail to when you get to act 4.... the game doesn't warn you and if you don't know a friend already picked an island and you pick a different one, you're screwed!
