The problem with these discussions is that ARPG as a genre has its own sub-genres. If you are looking for a game that shows a lot of potential, Last Epoch is a good choice, but bear in mind. In short, Diablo 3 seems like a known quantity for you and if you like it, go with that particularly if polish is important. (That said, Last Epoch's premise is intriguing.) (I have gripes about D3's story beats and how certain things don't make too much sense, but I can say that about a lot of video games.) From a complexity perspective: Probably in between D3 and POE. I'd give a slight nod to D3 here just because I've beaten D3, I haven't beaten last Epoch and is still a work in progress. It's been somewhat better in recent patches, but bear in mind that this is still in Early Access (beta 0.9.) My hardware is middling, but I think it's less to do with my hardware and more to do with engine, which I believe is completely custom. I haven't had time to get a look at the new beta yet.)įrom a Linux user's perspective, the engine was. (You can play single, but it does require a login at present, though because of the nature of its changing landscape, that may have changed yet again. Last Epoch does not presently have an offline mode. mostly played in beta 7, 8), I really enjoy. I have Last Epoch and what little I've played (6 hours.

Thank you so much for taking the time, it's lovely to be back hyped for a genre I haven't played in many years now! <3

Any huge differences that jump out at you? Which did you prefer and why?.

How is the Story/Immersion vs Grind ratio? Does it flow nice like the Diablos do? Is any story pure filler fluff, or actually any good?.

Can I still play offline and will that option stay, even with the new Multiplayer Options? (Not saying I always will, but I need a Singleplayer game right now, already busy with other Multiplayer-stuff currently).

Prices are the same and I know what to expect from D3, but I have a couple of questions about LE:

Last Epoch! Also has Necromancer and is supposedly really good by now?.So all DLC would be fresh and I like the Necromancer, since it's new and I never played one. I only played D3 main game for maybe 20-40 hours at launch.

I played a couple of hours of the D4 beta solo and loved it! - But playing any more is really pointless if progress is wiped and all I'd be doing is spoiling myself the actual launch more and more.

Diablo 3 price over time
