Enjoyed blasting through the campaign. Except where you notice they released the chapters later and the difficulty spikes are pretty bonkers if you ask me.

The way you build your character is also much more manageable compared to something like Path of Exile too, so that's a big plus for me.

    i played for an hour or so, something about it is off and i can't pinpoint what, i just couldn't digest it. i preferred grim dawn but got bored after a while.

      It just feels soulless. I think the systems it has are very good if you like ARPGs a lot, but the rest of the game is just Chrono Trigger if it was completely bland. The game feels like someone just thought of making a better PoE without having any artistic vision and that's a big turnoff for me

    Campaign stops being fun after 10th time, and you can only rebuild character in speciality. Overall though it's the best hack&slash i ever played.

      Well the campaign is weak plot wise and there are areas that are clearly underdeveloped (what's with the ancient era even being a thing?) so it'll get old very fast.

      Did the alternate paths add any replayability to you?

        Campaign is still heavily in development, there are 3 chapters missing and prologue recently got entirely reworked, though in recent months they mainly worked on the last three specialties (Falconer, Runemaster and Warlock and managed to get them on release and not even very bugged, though notably runemaster is imbalanced because it's the only wizard specialty where you don't have to shot your own foot by mandatory taking the godawful Focus skill, but that's more of other wizard specs being lackluster rather than RM being OP).

        What alternate paths? Campaign is super linear, except you can skip some of it by going into dungeons. Also, it's still way better campaign than in PoE, though i wish there would be option to skip it entirely (I play this since early beta and i really seen it too many times), it's one of the best features in D4.

          Come to think of it the dungeons don't really allow for big skips.

          I'm not a big loot rpg player, so I didn't even know the newer ones allow you to skip the campaign altogether. Definitely something they should consider adding.
