I always wanted to try this game but those reviews on Steam are scary
I played it when it first came out, got stuck on a boss fight and haven't played it again yet. But it was good. I need to go back and play more. Got this and Last Epoch for that ARPG fix and this one seemed more digestible.

You seem just like me in taste. I have Last Epoch on my wishlist too

I think the price is not worth it right now
 
This looked interesting and went to see if it's available on GOG.

Looks like it was and then the devs removed it because they didn't feel like providing updates for GOG. People who originally bought the game on GOG can keep it but don't get any patches or updates.

We’d like to inform you about the removal of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem.

Despite their best efforts, the devs behind Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem will not be able to maintain update parity between GOG.COM and other platforms. We've mutually agreed that it's best to delist the game from our catalog.

If you own the game on GOG.COM, you'll of course get to keep the game in your library.

What a dick move.

No refunds?
 
I haven’t tried new update, however all your attributes/skill points feel like they do nothing. Gear feels fairly meaningless.

Boss fights attempt to have depth, but the clunky fighting system just makes it frustrating and a death/swing grind.

Builds don’t feel unique, as the abilities don’t tailor to your currently used weapon/build (you use a bow? Well now you’re throwing a glaive! You use 2 axes? Well now you’re swinging a 2h hammer!

Path of exile is better.. and free. Has potential but been playing wolcen since beta, and if I wanted to go back to something just to feel disappointed, I’d just go see what the misses is up to.
