The verdict
A well-liked ARPG with deep skill trees and friendly crafting, sitting between Diablo and PoE. Skip it if you want a deep endgame or are bothered by paid classes and shaky servers.
Great for
Players who want an ARPG deeper than Diablo but simpler than Path of Exile, with flexible builds and crafting
Main risk
Server disconnects at season launches and a repetitive endgame you may exhaust quickly
What changed in the last 30 days
138 recent reviews
Many recent reviews report Error 65 and disconnects at the season 5 launch. Others say full offline mode now requires a connection, and some mention a mandatory data contract. Fairly consistent across recent reviews.
