I gave the game a chance, really did. But honestly it lack severe polish.
First off, if you're looking for a SSF ARPG, don't even bother, i've been in the endgame for 50 hours, i've only seen 1 Heroic gear drop and 1 Heroic rune drop after all my farm (who were useless btw) so your only choice to actually get to Inferno (last difficulty) is just through the Auction House. You literally make more progress from playing AH than playing the game...
It lack polish, most the time some event (like shrine etc) spawn at a bad place and you can't do the event properly. You need to do quest for unlocking the 5th Relic slots, where you need to kill a uber boss (normal right ?) Well guess what, even if you kill the boss because you have said fragment from playing campaign or previous farming etc, you still need to farm them AGAIN for the quest to aknowledge you had enough to make the boss spawn. Like wtf ? I killed the boss, let me end the quest and get the reward already.
If you aren't a meta character, don't even bother honestly. Build theory crafting is pretty much non-existant. Most of the time it's just teleport + 1 button attack/spell spam. Also like previously mentioned, most gameplay of classes is just teleport + 1 button spam. Genuinely boring.
The graphics/audio of the game isn't a problem for let's say 20/30hrs of gameplay, but when you spend the game farming or doing the campaign 3 times over, you really can't find anything "charming" about it anymore.
The jumping mechanic is fun (and what serve as a dodge basically), but is more of a problem most of the time from getting stuck (you can even get stuck INSIDE a boss...).
Story is literally non-existant.
I would recommend this game only for players that crave something that have a similar gameplay/loop to D2 and maybe PoE 1, who would play HS when doing a break of the 2 previous mentioned game to "relax".
If you are a modern ARPG player (D4, PoE 2 etc...), or a SSF ARPG enjoyer (GD, LE etc...), look elsewhere.
(Also, it's crazy but this game literally have the worst community in all the ARPG market lmao, even the devs are crazy on their Discord).
Edit : I would like to add that the game would be tedious, or not that enjoyable on the first playthrough/season, because it's really not explained at all what to do or where to go first once you're in Endgame, but i can see it become more fun once you know how the game play and the mechanics/orders of things to do. (Basically do the coffee quest in Normal right at the beginning, then rush to Hell 1, pick the ring quest, then rush Hell 3 then Hell 5 asap somehow, pick the 5th relic slot quests, then back to Hell 1 for ring quest, then Hell 5 fifth relic slot quests/farm as needed and then Inferno).
I MIGHT enjoy playing the game the next season or 2 now that i know what to do/where to go.
