Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026So yeah, three ARPGs, point-and-clicky hacky-looty games. PoE 1 will remain my fave for a while despite being a beast to learn. PoE 2 has some ideals that I'm clashing with but dang it can be good when it's good. LE I'm rooting for but needs some real polish. All three flawed, all three pretty good 000
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Biggest thing holding my enjoyment of LE is basically its jank. The nuanced feel of movement and frankly a few blatant bugs (and town portaling resets all enemies but not items what is going on?!) drag the experience down. 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My only gripe with the game's itemization--and this is preference--is that rarity is very much "only the highest tiers of color-coding of item matters." Normal, magic, and even rare items fall off completely which other ARPGs sometimes avoid. Seems like a more modern APRG thing honestly. Oh well. 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The 5 skills things makes some sense because each skill has its own skill tree for deep customization of any given ability, but idk I like having the option of more hotbar even in my one-button-build setups. 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Despite story and combat being lackluster imo, the crafting and gearing is some of the best in the genre (though upgrading uniques feels weird to me sometimes because a lot of it is funneled into one side dungeon mechanic). The skills are pretty exciting too...though only 5 skills on a hotbar isn't 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Also the plot of LE, despite me mostly liking the world-building, is kind of nonsense AND NOT DONE YET DESPITE LAUNCHING 1.0 YEARS AGO?! Even if story is dressing for a lot of ARPGs, the lack of conclusion really slides into the back of my mind. 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Last Epoch has some of my favorite ideas for an ARPG, but imo its game...feel? (I refuse to say "juice", tempted to call it gameplay but people get obtuse on that one) is lacking. Movement feels too floaty and I think part of it is the game has this awkward half-body blocking play when enemies swarm 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Anyways, great bosses (when you fight them), great combat (when the skills don't suck and movement is still mid), decent gearing (feels stingy in some campaign parts that causes rng pains); a game of caveats that I'd still recommend. 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I like the story being more upfront in 2. I don't like the story being unskippable in some parts in 2 (there's for real speedrun tech of "log out and log back in to skip cutscenes"). Surely there can be compromise where the story is exposited rather than optional dialogue, but like, you can skip it? 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That slow combat is kinda sabotaged and most people I see don't even appreciate that combat. The Soulslike-thrillseekers have already bounced off the game and the staying playerbase wants to blow up screens and see lots of items. I liked it, but the slowing-down of the game clashes with replays 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The bosses, the bosses are so cool! And they're such pushovers because powercreep is unreal in PoE 2. Most people like the first act's boss the most and imo that's because most builds aren't ready yet and you actually have to do mechanics. The later boss's mechanics are great too! But builds get OP 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Even early on, I'm torn on PoE 2's gameplay. Its first few levels give you one skill that's functionally useless without a paired combo skill...that the game gives you later. If the game wants to do combos they really, really should give the combo-able gems as a set not in piecemeal. 100
Trynant @trynant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Movement tech in 2 got neutered to make room for its dodge roll. They bandaid-ed a sprint later in early access but imo it needs a lot of work (namely the 3~4 second stun if you get grazed). Supposedly this makes for "slow-methodical combat" but having played the spam of endgame, I disagree. 100
