I always marvel at how Grim Dawn isn't in the conversation. It's easily top tier, has no microtransactions, is single player offline, but also supports co-op multiplayer. It features a full cosmetic system that is entirely in-game with no cash shop nonsense. There are so many skills and builds with an outstanding itemization system. Robust crafting system. Repeatable end game challenge content.

Also, it is just recieving another huge free patch, and another full expansion has just been announced.

It took me forever to actually try it, I thought it was going to be janky indie stuff etc. I'm closing on 3000 hours and still dropping back in with new build themes and ideas. I paid $35 for that 3000 hours in a Steam sale.

But yea, Last Epoch is ok I guess.

Edit: a word

Edit 2: just to add since I saw a comment about multiplayer, there is a community run seasonal ladder League as well. Grim League, for those interested.

I played all current dlcs and the base game on separate occasions alone and with my friends and the game never really clicks for me. I don't know what it is but it never got as fun as many other arpgs for me. Doubt that I will look at this new expansion as it feels I could have more fun spending my time with another game instead. Kind of weird as I have over a hundred hours and like the game genre but... Yeah.

Yeah so many people have missed out on Grim Dawn. It's a bit sad it doesn't have multiplayer but in the grand scale of things its what a lot of people wanted with D4. Let me play Singleplayer offline! This game does it. And boy does it do it well.

It’s a bit sad it doesn’t have multiplayer

What do you mean? Grim Dawn does have multiplayer.

O. It's has full fleged multi-player

[-] hogart@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

How do you go about the multiplayer part? Any private servers or how does it work?

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

You select multi-player and join a game or you can host a game. It's the same multi-player format as Divinity Original Sin.

[-] hogart@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

Uhm. Now I feel dumb :) Last I played you had to enter an ip adress for the game you wanted to join?

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. That is the Lan option only though.

Multi-player let's you join open games or host your own game.

There is a little circle that you can select to change which you want to do before hitting multi-player.

It's just old. People talked about it back when it came out. POE I think gets recognized because it's free to play (with DLC/MTX). I've played every ARPG under the sun and Last Epoch is one of the best I've ever played. It feels like the real successor to Diablo II

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

The biggest difference is that PoE gets huge expansions every 3-4 months with new content while Grim Dawn only mostly gets numeric patches. Yeah there's a new expansion on the horizon, but it's been a good while...
