1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

23,99€ currently on sale for the launch week, 29,99€ afterward. Price will increase during the Early Access period to the full 49,99€.

There's not much content right now, a prologue and the first act. Less than 10 hours, according to some comments. Major updates are planned every three months, with a least one year of Early Access, but potentially longer.

Multiplayer is in the game, but it's a preview, with lots of bugs apparently. That's probably why it's only listed as Single-player in the Steam store right now.

Some people complain about poor performance, others say it's fine. The game runs on UE5 apparently, but people say it looks very good.

I see that there has been a misunderstanding on my part. I agree with your last three points, but for some of the others, things you deem fine or good currently, I'd say they are rather mediocre (like your first point).

And in the end it basically all comes down to the combat, I think the most important part of these types of games, which you think isn't engaging enough (it's not, but that doesn't bother me). I think if you did change it, and "fix" points two and three at the same time, you'd lose too much of what makes these types of grindy, rng loot games work in my opinion.

Which is why I think you're wrong with saying

but not what most people want when they go to play a video game including in the ARPG genre

I think the mindless grinding, not having to pay attention, is exactly what most people want with this type of game. Of course, that isn't to say everyone wants that and that there isn't a market for something else.

However, I'd personally probably rather recommend the Niohs, the Khazans, the Wo Longs, the Remnants, the whatever of the world to those people (or try SSFHC or something, I dunno).
