TL/DR: If you enjoy hack'n'slash ARPG's you can't go wrong giving this game a try.

It's kind of telling that even though the two top reviews marked "most helpful" are negative, they both have over 100 hours in to the game. I probably wouldn't play a game I really disliked for over 20 hours. MAX. Would you? Anyways...

This game is an excellent and entertaining hack'n'slash, not flawless but the flaws are minor. It happens to be my favorite hack'n'slash RPG and I have played the franchises for Diablo, Torchlight, Titans Quest, Path of Exile, Van Helsing, Victor Vran and many others.

The most common complaints really just come down peoples personal taste in games. If you're the kind of player who likes to overturn every stone as you go, but you want fast pacing... Well, stop overturning every stone. If you think the game lacks story, well its probably because you don't like to read. The story and world craft are done primarily through texts you can pick up. Keep in mind this game development was a kick starter project that has far exceeded the original expectations. You're not going to get copious amounts of AAA game quality voice acting and cgi cutscenes and if the lack of those things is enough for you to give a game a negative review then good grief, check your priorities.

I see people complaining that character progression is both too simple and too complex. I think in this case the people who think character build progression was too simplistic weren't paying too much attention to the wide range of options available outside of just the 3 attributes. Take advantage of how your skills synergize with bonuses to resistances, damage types, devotions and equipment. The game is designed assuming players are paying attention to those things. If you thought it was simplistic and just punched in your attribute points and picked the constellations you thought were pretty for devotions, well... You probably had a bad time, but its not the games fault. One very popular review pans that game for lack of character class variety. There's 9 base classes and they all play differently and utilize attributes differently so I don't get this. Also with 36 dual classes there is more variety than almost all other games in the genre.

Another complaint I see if that friends have trouble playing together because they don't have the same DLC mix. I get this one, it can be frustrating to buy a base game expecting to be able to play with your friends and then feel nickel and dimed when you can't play together without additional purchases. In the developers defense each DLC adds A LOT and they make big changes to the base game content and that might be why it is not possible. The DLC's are nice because of the amount of content that comes with them. We're not talking $14 for a friggin kitty hat here, we're talking several hours of playable content and new items.

That's it. The game is good and the subjective negative reviews are undeserved.
