Finding the Best ARPG Ever Made: Last Epoch

Last Epoch is the newest big boy ARPG, full of hundreds of affixes, prefixes, suffixes, most kinds of words really. Along with the attempts at complicated and nuanced gameplay, the game is chock full of satisying character development, itemization and combat. Also it's the only game to feature an Eber, so really what is there not to love? So is it possible? Could Last Epoch be the greatest ARPG ever made?
Thanks for watching! Another day, another ARPG in the books. I sincerely appreciate you taking time to go on this time travelling adventure with me, and I hope you enjoyed! If you did, why not send me a little Like, Comment and Subscribe? And also hit the bell so hard it goes back in time to when there weren't so many systems to keep track of.
And as always, an enormous THANK YOU to my Patrons! You are all so great I can't believe it; genuinely, how did you all become such ridiculous chads? / seergames
Also find me at my discord server! All sorts of stuff to chat about with Seer and the gang. / discord

[@MajoraZero]

"If they can make money from an unfinished product, so can I" That is perfection. You've outdone yourself Seer. It's simultaneously extremely funny and fully correct.

[@Klied]

Dude, A+ work as always. This review actually makes me want to try out Last Epoch now. A couple friends tried to get me into it months back and all they could say was, "it gud game, play game"

[@seer6251]

Your friend's reviews sound like my initial script. I do concur though, game good, me will keep playing game.

[@themessy001]

I haven't bought a game in a few months, and seer has convinced me to buy this.

[@doomzx8284]

​@@Shubham-hk6yf What is Grim Dawn real end game except Uber bosses? Genuine question

[@paff1588]

The fact that an unfinished game made by a rather small development team is able to do so many things WAY better than pretty much every established title in the genre really is telling of how incredible the end result could be.

[@PuppetMasterdaath144]

false

[@matthuck378]

I love the genre, and Last Epoch still needs a lot of work, IMO. The only thing I could agree it does "best" is item crafting. I do love its crafting system. It's mostly what I've always wanted in an ARPG; the ability to pull affixes off of things and add them to other things.

[@hellfire5108]

Big companies are actually like dinosaurs in making any big changes. Like Heartstone - that game is fun, but fundamentally flaud in it's design. When you try Marvel Snap you actually realize that the card games can be made FUN and not pay to win or "win by playing meta".

[@yeoldefoxeh254]

Over 3 years in "early access" and plans of putting it full of IAPs is also telling a lot.

[@Luca48882]

Poe was developed by a bunch of guys in a garage and disintegrated diablo, which was the creator of the genre and child of mama blizzard. Indie it's where it's at today, big companies don't care about quality, only sales, and that means appealing to dumb customers. No game is really finished today, that's how business goes. The difference is that some games try their hardest while others sell you an unfinished product on purpose and then promote DLCs/expansions. If something is done in 100years it doesn't matter how much potential it has now, sadly

[@Woupsme]

I backed this in 2019 and was told I'd receive the key when it'd release "next year in 2020. Looking forward to 2020 to come around lol

[@rawsuicide6797]

So you didn't receive a key? The game is in Early Access since 2019 and since then every backer has access. I'm in since EA, but I'm relatively sure that even before every backer from kickstarter already had access to the client. The feedback and suggestions on the forums reach back to a time before EA on Steam. Maybe you missed an email? You should reach out to support.

[@rusty7448]

@@rawsuicide6797 Actually it depends. I backed it back then too and the KS says I'll receive a key "at release". They didn't technically released yet, though. Also, there's 35 $ (beta key) and 50$ (alpha key) tier level, so I guess if you get the "on release" tier, you're still waiting for your key. I most certainly am.

[@gibsonpike8039]

Is this an xrp riddle ?

[@Woupsme]

@@rawsuicide6797 As @Rusty mentioned, it depends. I only backed with the lowest tier through their own website - not through Kickstarter. I reached out to support, and my tier only provided a key at full 1.0 release. But it doesn't matter. It looks like they're taking their time, and people love the game so far.

Been binging your videos. Your scripts are so good

[@rico6311]

Played this for about 250 hours. Best part is the customization, a skill tree for every skill is just nuts. And they're very creative so not just some lazy +10% damage and stuff. As you said, Campaign is not easy mode - you might die from time to time and have to think about what you're doing instead of mashing one button. Endgame was okay one year ago but it lacked content and getting an item upgrade felt almost impossible with all the RNG to it. Since then they added this new crafting system, new uniques and new endgame activities, so i can't wait for release and getting back to this game. I hope they can release it before D4 so it might get the attention it deserves. In terms of complexity i'd rate it similar to Grim Dawn. If you can't get in to PoE as a new player because it's too complex this is the game for you.

[@crazyuncleron]

I just want to say something for any new players watching this. There are 9 skill trees you could put points into, not 7 like Seer said. There are the 5 for allocated skills (all skills have a tree but you can only put points into skills you allocate) and the 4 passive tress. You have one at the start and then 3 mastery ones. You choose a mastery and are able to put points into the whole tree while the 2 others only let you put points into certain skills. There's a chain that tells you how far you can go into non-mastered trees.

[@Spoonsire]

The best part about Last Epochs loot filter is if you don't want to spend your time fiddling with it, you don't have to -- you could just copy the filter from a build you're following and load it in.

[@Spoonsire]

@@leemay3097 My bad, I didn't know they had added them. It's been a minute since I've played PoE, last toon I made was right after they added hideouts. It's a feature I hope becomes baseline for future arpgs, because it's incredibly useful

[@leemay3097]

@@Spoonsire it is because in path of exile, there's so much currency highlighted even with a basic filter. That's why most hardcore/veteran players use a stricter loot filter to hide most items. Now if only Path of exile would actually implement(or copy) an Auction House and auto pick up on small/common currency that would be great. The weakest part of Path of exile is trading since it is done by 2 actual players online, not counting the bots that usually only do currency exchange.

at 100 hours, mostly post-launch, I can say this game is in a good place. The campaign is fun, monoliths are good, dungeons are super-engaging, and so much great build diversity available to all. Currently have 7 characters, all of which are fun to play, and the respeccing is forgiving enough to tweak out an underperforming character. When we first did the Lagon fight, my glass cannon of a bladedancer got squished early and often. I tweaked my active skills, got to 3 movement skills, and it was mostly a test of my patience to not get hit and finish out the encounter after my buddy went down in the first 10 seconds. When I tried it out with my swarmblade, well, the magical murder hornet made that encounter trivial, but having a movement skill and perma-haste will do that.
