Redemption is a thing, for Johnny and this game!

It is old but gold. I think I bought the first version of the game when I was 15/16, and ever since, it has been and always will be one of my fav. games out there, it's easy going gets you stuck in it and after 70H going through all three difficulty levels you go right back at it with the next character :D

From Umbra to Wolcen it seems a lot of promised content and features got kicked out of the door for whatever reason.
for example:

• Open world map
  
• Different end game modes
  
• Passive skill tree that allowed you to dual-wield two-handed weapons or make a flicker strike build(infinite dash to enemies)
  
• House/hideout building
  
• Using spells without catalysts or staves
  
• Actual auras that reserved resources but stayed toggled on
  
• Interaction between different skills
  
• Spell interaction with the environment, like lightning doing more damage in water
  
• Cloaks

The core gameplay loop gets really boring after you reach act 3. Skills and talents are completely buggy to the point where some classes can one-shot bosses and the other is doomed to fail. Item scaling is horrible a unique item often has worse stats then a common one, minor gems can't be forged into bigger ones so your Inventory gets full of those useless stones. Again Bossfights must be hard but if you construct a fight where a player needs to stand in a certain spot not to get damage and then you drop a freaking AoE from the boss on this spot while he has to stand there? that's just stupid and ruins a good experience. The game also suffers from enemies that after a while become so bland you really stop caring if you kill them or not, and for what? loot you most times even can't use because if you play a spellcaster you can't use swords and verse visa, yet you seem to find way more melee weapons and such then staffs and so on. Talents need a certain item equipped to work so if you dream of playing a fully-fledged battlemage dream on, unlike what they promised back in 2015 on Kickstarter...

Wolcen clearly lost track of what it promised and what it delivers, If you like ARPGs better wait until they fix this game to a point where all people can enjoy it and not only meele players or bugusers...

INSTALL ALLL THE MODS!!!! 64Bit ♥♥♥♥ yeah!

Hands Down eins der Besten fentasy RPG out there!
