TLDR; Only for ARPG fans

Last Epoch does everything right from a gameplay perspective. Satisfying gear crafting, a comprehensive loot filter, builds that are complicated enough to be engaging, and an interesting and expansive end game. The dev team is extremely responsive to the community, and receptive to improvement suggestions as well.

However, the story/campaign is dog poop. I know most arpg players won't care about this, they'll simply rush through it so they can get to the "good part", the end game. However, if you want to co-op with someone who doesn't play arpgs, this is not that game. And that's okay.
