First time i played the Demo i already got addicted and tried to abuse the crap out of the Game itself - after some Bug finds Zorg was so nice to give me access to the Testing Phase of this game.
Very addicting, alot of Builds to try out, game can get quite challenging in the beginning but if u ever feel like you are getting overpowered - just take a look at the Custom Difficultie Options wich gave me a extended replayability.
There are alot of different Weapon Types and Combinations and Prefixes/Mods - choose your own Gamestyle and blast away.
For me it is the sweet spot between overcomplicated and simple, u dont have to sink dozen of hours into Wikipedia like POE - just grab a Weapon u find interesting and start playing around with it, soon u will find out wich works good and what doesnt. Also if u ever get bored of your Build - u can just Reset your Skilltree and choose a new Path - wich is another big Plus for me, your choices are not permament - u dont have to start a new save just because u want to try out something new.
Zorg also pushes out Updates on a regular basis, it is one of the rare EA games where i have the feeling that it actually will get finished.
He also has an open Ear for all kinds of Feedback and Critism, it fills the Discussions on the Discord and most of the times he just tries it out - if it works it stays, if it feels unbalanced then it will get fixed/tweaked again.
