It's so refreshing to see an RPG that isn't afraid to be an RPG. It's not trying to twist and contort D&D into Call of Duty, it knows what it is and is proud of that. Games don't have to be dead simple and text free to be successful. Games don't have to have big in game stores or battle passes to be successful. They just have to be complete, an earnest attempt at a creative vision. I would take a game that tries something ambitious and very occasionally stumbles like this one over the most competent trend chaser any day.
In addition this game is MASSIVE in terms of content. I was ready to wrap it up at the start of act 3 but man, if there's content to experience still
I haven’t wrapped act 1 yet and I’ve been playing what seems like forever. So much to explore and do, and so many people to meet. I already have plans for a replay, but at this rate it will be 2024 before that kicks off…
I'm like 60 hours in and I'm still not passed act 1.
It's insane how many hours you can put into this game.
I will say that act 1 is better than the rest of the game. DoS 2 had a similar problem: incredible sandbox in act 1, linear act 2, small act 3..
I’m hoping that we get a bit of definitive edition and/or custom content options, as the game does thin out in content so much. I’m sure that I didn’t hit every quest in the game, but it was probably 40/20/15 in terms of hours per act, and I think I got most of the legendaries.
Haven't played yet (eagerly waiting for September 2nd to play it on PS5), but it makes sense that act 1 is the best since it's the one that was in public access and they could polish it most from player feedback, right?
