How it feels

A grim, visceral action RPG that feels punishing and methodical, driven by loot progression and deep character builds in a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the immense depth, build freedom, and hundreds of hours of replayability, but warn that the learning curve is brutal and the opening acts are slow. Opinions split: some call it the best ARPG ever, while others say the mandatory third-party tools and unclear systems make it exhausting.
