Imho it's a good hack'n'slash. Itemization is a bit all over the place, tho. I.e. right now it seems like you need to spend a lot of time to get any "great". You'll always find something better eventually since you keep leveling up. But for example me, I only had like 2 Unique's dropped so far (couple legendaries, but those are simply better versions of magic and rare, i.e. blue-> yellow -> bright orange...)
Combat is fine, skills are fine, but could maybe need more. You can "modulate" skills, but they're still the same skill, just bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, etc. or might add an effect or a buff, etc. but you'll end up spamming the same skills over and over. Imho D3 has a better choice of skills.
The passive skill tree is nice, but it's really PASSIVE. Basically you just keep adding stats to your char and every now and then a stat that is a bit more special.
Endgame has a nice idea (you basically become the ruler of the main hub city and you have to restore it. Build upgrades, send troops, etc. but the problem is, you just keep doing the same random dungeons over and over... and yeah, it gets a bit boring, if you ask me. But you can find maps, so there is maybe more in it later. But so far it clearly is a grind for something I am not sure I'll care much for

I really enjoy Wolcen and I want to recommend it, but I just can’t do it in its current state. The sheer number of issues takes away from the experience. The foundation is great, featuring a solid progression and endgame activities. However, Wolcen is in dire need of a thick coat of polish before it can even be called a released game. I’m hopeful that in a few months time the experience will be vastly different. But until then, the buyers should be aware of the situation.
Pros:
+ Great graphics and artwork
+ Good progression system
+ Cool abilities
+ Endgame activities
+ Cosmetic customizations
Cons:
– Game breaking bugs
– Combat and animations fluidity
– Server issues
– Poorly balanced
– Lacks a bunch of quality of life features
– Plenty of other technical issues and bugs

| Quote: | Hello everyone,
We've worked on a lot of bug fixing this week but there is one we would like to talk about specifically before you read the patch notes.
We know that you appreciate the possibility to change Unique items into legendary items and to craft them, however, we have to remove these possibilities for the moment.
We are definitely not against implementing it as a feature in the future, we find the possibilities that it offers interesting, but we want to spend time in designing it so the system works and is properly integrated with the rest of the game.
We will also implement a new power tier of uniques for the end-game progression with better raw values in a future patch, we are aware that aside from a few exceptions, Uniques are currently not competitive for high-end content.
Thank you for your support and for your feedback!

It is now impossible to put a Unique item into the Transmutation Forge or Dark Market item upgrade projects. Unique items that have been transformed this way prior to the update have been reset. If you already had a pending project with a Unique item in it, you will receive a legendary item but it will be updated after you reconnect in the game.
Fixed issues happening when quickly switching from online to offline.
Fixed one issue causing unlocked cosmetics to reset. We found another one so a reset can unfortunately still happen, but it will be much less frequent. We’re working on a fix.

Performance is worse, somehow. Got a disconnect, so maybe it's that (choppy connection).
Oh and they ruined my build... adding a CD to my main damage skill (bleeding edge)...
Basically making it useless...
Guess I keep playing satisfactory instead... not much sense playing this now anyway.

Story?
And yeah, 10 seconds bleeding edge is insane. It's a Rage burner, it's kind of limited by that already...
Make it cost more rage to use, but not hard 10 sec CD. It's still a good damager, but so is hitting enemies with default attack now...

Sure it's buggy but I'm enjoying it more than any other recent h&s, D3 was good but it really lacked challenge and was way too easy, here you need to pay some attention at least at times to not die. It looks pretty, the combat feels good, loot is alright, skills are cool. Replayability may be low but it's initial playthrough is decent and enough for me.

Game has worked for me pretty much flawlessy till the latest patch (other than some single player bugs), now im getting very annoying crashes and other glitches in expeditions, also lag and other shit has been introduced. Think i will keep couple weeks break and see what the next patches will bring, have played too much recently anyway, game has huge potential to be very good "Diablo 3".

The main thing this is missing for me and which pretty much made me quit is any meaningful loot.
It's the same age-old story again and again. Loot is boring AF and the RNG factor is so insane, that finding an OP Item is nearly impossible.

There is no RNG in unique items, legendary items in the other hand can be hard to get with correct rolls, but this is really how it should be, i agree with you tho with the boring loot, most uniques needs some rework, some of them dont even have any "unique" stat on them.
If you want OP, you should have used upgrade item feature in the dark market, you could have "upgraded" unigue item to legendary, keeping the all stats and adding more to it  (its fixed tho now), but they said they will bring that kind of option avalaible later tho which is sweet.

Who is responsible for the cartoony animations Those in-engine cutscenes look like a disjointed mess  They forgot to model slow walk animations, thus slow walk is just a person moving on a predefined path and the animation is playing at standard walk speed (so waaaay too fast for the speed the char is actually moving at )

this shit isn't world of warcraft
I still enjoy it but overall it tries to combine d3 and Poe and does decent job at it. 7.5/10
I feel like I'm missing some part of the story - I know there is some kind of war but suddenly it's like an apocalypse. What did I miss?
