Early Access Review
Simply stated, this is my favorite ARPG of all time, even in its current (unfinished) state. Here's why:

1. Extremely intuitive and engaging character growth through passive (talent) trees, skill choices, and skill talent trees. No need to follow a build guide, choices develop naturally and freely tested as you play. Every skill I specialize I fall in love with, and as a result I have 4 different characters with the same class/subclass (among others)

2. Excellent gearing through crafting. Intuitive and straight-forward crafting allows deterministic elements and RNG elements for crafting that let you make use of a wide variety of gear to enhance your crafting capabilities and to modify gear for your character

3. A commitment to finding your own gear. The game is designed with a drop-first mindset, meaning that the game is engaging and optimized for finding your own gear. You can target farm, and push odds in your favor in a wide variety of ways

4. Genius gearing systems. The crafting, exalted, and legendary potential systems are each brilliantly designed systems that make gear both accessible, widely usable (even low level uniques), and gives an unbelievably high gear ceiling

This game still has a lot of room to grow and improve more, and it will. But even for what it is right now, it's a really exquisite game.
