I've been craving a new game like this but Last Epoch just isn't doing it for me. I get super bored when playing it and have to stop after an hour or two and then never really feel like playing it again. I've forced myself to play it for about 20 hours but I gave up after that. It just feels empty and soulless somehow, it makes me completely aware I'm just sitting and clicking buttons and watching numbers go up/down.
Yeah I love path of exile but last epoch didn't quite do it for me yet.
I think they have a good base though
I thought the game was really fun as far ARPGs go, but I play primarily on controller if I can, and while I was able to run through the bulk of it with 2 characters, holy crap it was infuriating. Every menu has a completely different input scheme, using the wrong one probably forced you out of the menus because you dared to move your character, and it really makes me wonder about the logic involved with that design process.
Don't even get me started on keybindings! Why the fuck is S mapped to the Skills menu?! You so much as whisper off the center of Q and a full-screen menu pops up and completely cuts off any interaction with combat you were in. Yes, I know the player has the option to rebind, but WTF. That's default?
Last Epoch is Diablo for those that can't quit cold turkey.
