It looks like it falls very short of the engaging combat I’m still looking for in an ARPG. €30 for less than 10 hours of an incomplete ARPG at that makes this a wait to buy if ever for me. I’m not certain I have the faith it’ll ever have 30 hours of content, this release feels like a “we’re running out of money” situation more than a “we’re confident in our product” scenario.
I burned out of Last Epoch in their last patch I think for good, because the combat is so bad. And PoE2 is approaching that for me as well - at least they have an engaging story and a long guaranteed road ahead of content - so maybe this is the slot machine ARPG I keep on hand (but I wish they’d just fix their combat). And I’m waiting for multiplayer to play No Rest for the Wicked, but I suspect it’s not ARPG enough to be a long term game.

Deck perf are currently atrocious, but I’ll still buy it for later. I still have to finish the first one anyway.

Bought it as the EA price was cheap enough to take a chance and early reviews where positive enough to signal that the game isnt completely broken.
Got maybe hour in this morning and had fun. Game performed pretty well with RTX 3070 albeit dropped settings to high to get framerate to around 80-100 with 1080p.

That’s my thinking as well. I don’t mind Early Access either way, and I’m fine with coming back to the game every couple of months when more content drops.

Yeah, I’ve replayed TQ1 and Grim dawn numerous times so by trying out different builds I can probably get 15-20 hours from this version alone.

Okay, that’s good info. I was so excited to see it, I almost reflex-bought in but I wanted some info kn what was even in the game.
Seems like I’ll wait a bit longer. But 30 bucks for the full game seems surprisingly low.

That’s only during Early Access, and the price will increase. 1.0 release is supposed to cost 50€.

That’s reasonable. Might time the pickup right before release then

I’ve only played a bit so I can’t say if it’s worth the asking price, but it’s “refreshing” to play as an “old-school action RPG fan.” I played some Diablo 4, POE and Last Epoch and all that but none of them have stuck for me. I find myself going back to Fate (Reawakened is very solid now after a few updates), Torchlight and even Diablo 1.
Titan Quest 2 is solid. It’s slower paced, much like Grim Dawn. It feels much more like the campaign is the focus instead of something they expect you to skip through.
I will say while it’s not as polished at this point, Dragonkin has a similar feeling if you’re looking for more. Dragonkin is made by the team that made Warhammer Chaosbane but it has a lot more depth than that.
