When new season starts, it is impossible to play due to very bad servers. This happens all the seasons. When the servers improve, the review will improve too.

im 15 minutes into the game and already I dont like what I see. While the gameplay, skill system, and loot is okayish. My main issue is that 2/3rds of the playable classes are locked behind a paywall ($5-$8 per character when not on sale). You have to buy each one individually.

Then on top of that the game markets itself as against pay 2 win but then has a awful monetization system:
$5 per inventory expansions
$5 per stash expansions
$5 per material expansions
$5 per socketable expansion
$15 for unique expansion

Then on top of that there is a paid expansion already which has quests and items you cant get without buying the expansion. Tack on $12 skins and $0.50-$1 "companions" and this game just has cash grab written on it. Then they also have a subscription you can purchase on top of that for $4 a month which they lock the ability to rename tabs/inventory, see if an item has dropped because of magic find, rename hero, chat emotes, and cursor skins all behind.

I can defend POE with there tab costs because the content is there and the stash they provide is plenty for most new players and the game is free. Where as this game is $8 not on sale and then as soon as you boot up you get hit with a "well here is more ways to spend money right off the bat"

The devs seem to atleast update it but the monetization I get hit with seeing in the first 15 minutes is a huge turn off for me.

Ill change to positive if the game is good enough to get over that, if its still negative just know that the game was mid or worse. If you do buy it wait until they do another 80% off sale to try it and get it for $1.5 like I did. No shot I was paying $8 for this.

Edit: The loot filter is absolute garbage. You can have it selected to where you dont want Common Axes to show up and even with it set up common axes still show up. The only way to hide loot is using presets which is garbage.

Edit 2: Loot filter is still garbage and doesnt function plus the UI menus are buggy af. took me 3 minutes to exit the shops buy/sell menu

Local Co op has been removed and the entire game has been changed from something wholly unique to a live service focused grind. I play live service focused grind ARPGs too, but this is not one I would recommend.

I wouldn't have came back to leave a negative review if I didn't get brought here again by the erroneous Shared / Splitscreen tag.
