Game is fun and NA servers are got better.

Echoes update is great. New UI, new content, no more lag, no more queues, can play offline or with friends.

If you like roguelites like Hades, Vampire Survivors, Crimsonland, Risk of Rain and similar games - you will fell in love with Halls of Torment. At first it looks simple but as you progress, you will unlock a great variety of features: characters, skills, loot, enemies, levels, quests, etc. Highly recommend to all fans of the genre!

The game was released in unplayable state, full of soft lock and game breaking bugs. It was never fixed and support was dropped basically the next day after release.

Talentless woke activists that are left in this shell of dev studio are destroying the game they didn't create.

Fun story and dialogues, engaging metroidvania-like gameplay, good 2.5D graphics mixing 3D backgrounds with 2D pixel art characters.

The real cosmic horror in this game are not monsters but control scheme.

Спустя год после релиза появился кооперативный мультиплеер, огромная DLC кампания и русский язык.

Review is up-to-date with 1.0

Story mode is laughable easy and boring. People who say "story is not supposed to be challenging, it's all about endgame" should check out Grim Dawn, Titan Quest and even Diablo where it's actually fun to play through the story because there is some challenge and cool boss fights. Nothing of it you can find in Last Epoch.

Aside from difficulty, the campaign is just boring and unfinished (yes, as of 1.0 campaign is still not complete). There are no memorable characters, you don't care about anything happening in the world. Dialogues are poorly written (probably AI generated). No cutscenes, nothing interesting at all during the whole campaign.

Character controls and animations are stiff, slow and unresponsive. It plays like a game from the 90s when developers just started using 3D and couldn't create fluid animations. The controls are horrible compared to Diablo 4: no dash button, no mounts, slow movement, abilities doesn't feel impactful.

This game doesn't offer anything aside from a grindy endgame and proceduraly generated corridors.

Лучшее приключенческая игра за последние годы. Уникальный мир, оригинальные персонажи, интересные уровни и загадки, прекрасный саундтрек и качественный пиксель-арт.
