Is the game decent? yes, is it something I see myself putting much more time into for now? no, reasons?
I often find myself asking 1 question over and over again as I am trying different classes in the game, "but why?"
Ultimately, playing this game makes me want to play POE2 again, probably because how flat and boring the progression feels, no proper scaling, nothing to look forward to. I am writing this review after advancing my 5th class, the rogue, in search for something fun, but the only thing I felt compelled to do after reading through the skills, was to close the game and write this review.
1. - most of the classes seem over-nerfed, feels like this game fallen victim to the usual mentality of: "class is too good? let's nerf it to the ground!", "the other classes are now way better than the class we just nerfed to the ground? let's nerf the others too!", so basically everything is nerfed to the ground instead of buffed up to be on even playing field, making it to where none of the classes feel enjoyable and you always feel like struggling, basically forcing players into 1 or 2 builds per class to even have fun, completely killing the build variety.
2. - The EXP gain and the power scaling feel too slow/too little, making it to where you can spend hours farming exp and gear and feel almost no power difference
3. - The bosses are all the same, just with different health bars. yes, they have different abilities, but those are still just reskins of the same ability with now a different damage type, instead of fire, it's ice etc., there nothing unique about them
4. - The gear, the affixes and other stat scaling features are very flat, for example, and axe can have all of the same affixes as a staff, only difference is the main damage type, the affixes do not scale with level, an item level 1 can have all the same affixes as an item you obtain at level 100, there's zero scaling to those
5. - There's a cap on how many attribute points (STR,VIT, etc.), you can put into a certain attribute...
