It's been a while since a game has gripped me this hard. The old but reliable gameplay loop of getting better loot to play harder content, to get better loot, to play harder content is back in a way that feels fresh. While the always online feature originally had me uneasy the payoff becomes clear with the world bosses and random events that pop up through the map. Adding and dropping parties is seamless and makes the game enjoyable solo or in a group. The story is pretty good but he soundtrack is amazing. It plays well on my steamdeck or with a controllerin general. I am also finding with a little tinkering you can make most builds viable late game. All around a fun experience and I am looking forward to seasons starting soon!

An incredibly well written and stylized animation that takes from its source material to create a deep and memorable world.
