Wayfinder

Excellent game, great combat, great characters, great mechanics. Beginner friendly for noobs but although I havent played that much yet I get the feeling that the endame is also good. It has all of the good elements of a gacha game (open world with grindable dungeons and lots of hidden secrets, good character progression) without any of the downsides (pay to win, limited accesebility of characters)

I have been playing since early access and managed to reach the end game where the content was still slowly coming out. I took a long break afterwards and came back to it recently and a lot has changes. Keep in mind, this game is not an MMORPG anymore but a singleplayer/co-op experience. Which in my opinion isnt too bad. I actually enjoyed the changes in balancing and playstyle. Played with friends as well and it was plenty of fun to grind and do missions together. If you enjoy singleplayer or co-op rpg then give this game a shot. It has beautiful art, fun and solid gameplay and some interesting characters and storyline. Personally loved everything about this game and it has a lot of potential. Not sure if there will be future updates but as is, it is a fun experience. I recommend it for both completionists and casual gamers.

For a $25 game you are getting your moneys worth, its not "GAME DEFYING" for the genre but it is fun for the price, theres quite a bit to do, most the characters overall feel pretty balanced and viable so far. Not being locked to a specific weapon with a character is really nice and allows for a bit of build/playstyle diversity. Game unfortunately does have some Unreal Engine shader compilation stutters but the longer you play most of the stutters iron out. Game runs really well on high with a 3060, I7-12700k, 32gb ram. Again for the price you are getting more than your moneys worth, considering games these days are $70 with less content than you are getting here, little bit of hack/slash/slam and dodge/block fun.

Running on just the steam deck is not good. Controls are great but the quality is completely ass. GeForce Now + steam deck is the way to go. Regardless, it’s simple, fun, and mindless with offline support. Gear get better and number go up without needing to read a wiki yet you still feel a sense of accomplishment playing it. Love it.

Game is sick AF. Run it on the hardest difficulty with your homie(s) for the best gameplay experience. Only if you can though.

stuttering mess of a trash heap

Are you tired of being the chosen hero who has to save the world from some ancient evil while wearing godlike pieces of unnecessary armor? No? Try Wayfinder, you beautiful loot goblin! Become a magical murder machine, stab weird creatures, shoot things, dodge attacks, and collect enough armor sets to make a dragon look financially irresponsible. The combat is actually pretty damn fun, and beating the ever-loving ♥♥♥♥ out of enemies with flashy abilities never gets old. You can explore this lovely world with a friend, as I did. Half of our playtime was spent checking Echoes, looking at new styles, and figuring out which character and weapon to upgrade next. The other half? Grinding for the stuff. Did I mention the grinding? I feel like the grinding deserves its own review. Maxing this game took me over 70 hours. Was it worth it? Hmm... that’s almost 3 full days, or about 2 weeks of 5-hour focused workdays, during which I could learn so many things according to ChatGPT. Does it have bugs? Yes, but so does my PC, and I still play it. Still, underneath this grinding onion, where layer after layer there is even more grinding, there was a genuinely enjoyable action RPG hiding. Exploring, grinding gear, unlocking characters, and turning enemies into decorative - oh yeah, you can decorate your home with trophies of the fallen bosses, or even adopt Mimic and his buddy Gelatinous Cube… by adopt, I mean drop it while grinding. Could it have been better? Absolutely. Could I have spent my time doing something productive instead? We already know. But hey, at least I didn't spend 40 hours arguing with strangers on Reddit. Final score: 7/10 grinding onions
