My specs are Ryzen 5 7600X and RTX 4070 Super, I was playing on high settings in 1440p.

After the changes it took me 2 crashes to complete the demo. Here are some of my thoughts:

+ OST is very good (thank you Kai)
+ dialogues and characters suit the G1 world and colony setting
+ demo feels a lot more Gothic than teaser ever did
+ they improved on the pace of picking stuff up and looting chests
+ they improved running animation
+ looks like they fixed Kirgo not fighting you back

+/- graphic quality overall is good but looking at fog near the mountains felt like looking at stable picture
+/- fighting is fine but still bow feels better, at least character is not gliding anymore
+/- they might have improved AI a bit but Scavengers are still acting weird
+/- they still need to work on optimization (anything above high settings drops FPS heavily) I was getting 60-80 FPS during the playthrough

- lightning in this game is weird, when you look closely you could see "grain" light doesn't act like that
- still can't modify sound volume
- crashes still persist (game heavily utilizes CPU when loading saves and GPU while playing)

To sum up the devs have improved on some things but there is still a lot to work on. I'll keep on following the news closely as I had so far but I'm still not convinced to buy the game on the release.

Early Access Review
At the start I just wanna say that I have experience with exile-like games (D2, D3 over 300h, PoE1 close to 1700h) keep that in mind while reading.

Path of Exile 2 launch began with some technical issues (which were to be expected and understandable to some extent if you are familiar with Grinding Gear Games as a company and understand that this title is in the Early Access) that lasted for around 2,5 hours.

After that I was able to play with close to no issues, I'm multiple hours in playing as a Sorceress, trying stuff and clearing everything.

Pros:

- Better approach towards beginners (Gem System, Vendors, Crafting, Introduction of Gold to GAMBA and respec)
- Overall better fighting system which may be slower for a veteran PoE1 player but is smooth and dynamic to the point that I much prefer it over zooming in PoE1 (more accessable for co-op)
- Game focuses on story more than its predecessor which is nice
- New flask system (removes piano and allows to focus on fighting more)
- Maintains the level of complexity while making the game more approachable
- Vendors and items from the ground are finally worth giving attention to
- Adding pause option (HUGE)
- Weapons feel unique to use (in contrary to PoE1)
- Masterpiece of an OST from the GOAT Kamil!
- Boss fights are engaging and feel like well, boss fights
- The learning curve is good

Cons:

- Introduction of Gold is good for the game but respecing and GAMBA is very expensive, the cost of either of those should be reduced by at least 33%, would allow to experiment more
- Issue of sometimes not being able to load an instance that carried over from PoE1
- Support gems recommendation could use an improvement
- Orbs drop rate is a bit rough but it is managable if you have some experience in the game
- Act2 damage wise seems a bit rough as well but maybe that is a skill issue
- 2nd tier of support gems comes a bit late

That's all that comes into my mind so far, overall I'm having a blast as the Sorceress. If you consider trying out the PoE2 in the Early Access keep in mind that IT IS EARLY ACCESS.

Try to be supportive of the devs and give your feedback so that we all can have a part in making the game better.

Still sane Exiles.

I had received this game from one of my best friends. He is the type that understands my love for Heroes of Might and Magic series (I've begun with Heroes 3).

Despite the fact that I don't have many hours played at the moment (I'm mostly playing while streaming for him) I have to say that Songs of Conquest were able to reignite an interest for me in this kind of formula in a game that does not have Heroes in the name while bringing back that little joy of childhood.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this game develops and if you, just like me, loved the Heroes series I'd suggest you give this game a try (especially when it is on sale!).

Now if you'll excuse me, I have one more turn to do.

Came for the puzzle game, stayed for turn-based strategies.

This will be the last update, we promise ~ ReLogic probably

Terraria is a game with 2D open world that let you expierience all kinds of stuff from fighting to building. The goal is clear, to beat the bad guys, collect as many items as possible, and have that gorgeous Slime Queen bath water. In all seriousness though, Terraria is a brilliant game that lets you do whatever you want, if you like building, if you like RPG like games, then Terraria is a good choice for you.

When I bought this game I didn't think about spending a lot of time playing it. But I played more and more and I dont even noticed that I hit over 100 hours. This game is really astonishing and thanks to random system that gives player the gift of the lack of boredom, we won't get bored so fast.
Soundtrack is one of the best parts of game. Can't stop listening to it.
+ Mechanics
+ Monsters and bosses
+ Items and ideas
+ Soundtrack <3
+ Come on it's Isaac!

SPOILER!!!!


- After defeating Issac we have to fight with ???. These ones are similiar to each other so that's not really splendid work, but at least it's harder than Issac itself.
9/10
