Looks interesting, but I gotta be honest: when I click on the Steam page and the first thing I see is a cash shop to buy “Epoch Points” for this early access game? That’s an instant turn-off for me. I’m sure it’s not as predatory as what Blizzard did with D4’s monetization, but I don’t want it in my games, period.
What’s predatory about Diablo 4’s monetization? Seems pretty standard skins and cosmetics stuff. And the battle pass.
But it’s not like you get better gear or anything, right?
Time limited rewards on battle passes are pretty predatory. They’re designed to keep you playing when you otherwise wouldn’t want to.

I played LE for only about a day based on this post, but yeah, I think I’m with you.
A lot of little things are annoying:
- Every time you leave an area it resets, even if you use a portal?!?
- No fast switch between bow and melee weapon
- You cannot compare a ring in inventory against the ring on your right finger (only left)
- No feedback that you just clicked on a TP or new area, like nothing happens for a few seconds and then you are transported
- …
Looks like a nice ARPG, but it seems to integrate an “always online” bullshit requirement, can someone who actually has it confirm or rectify ?
Play offline feature is in
Thanks !
Funny thing: on your screenshot, it looks like the Play Offline button is greyed out. But it’s just a visual thing and you can totally click on it, right ?
Actually both buttons take you to the same character selection screen, just with either the Online or Offline character list preselected ;)
Have you played Grim Dawn?
Grim Dawn has one major issue IMO: it overuses passives and semi-passive abilities. When I play an action RPG, I want to actively push different buttons to do different things instead of optimizing my primary attack to do a bit of everything.
How about Titan Quest?
Indeed I have, why ?
Just cause it’s a Diablo type game I enjoy that does not need online :)
