    Wolcen has the potential to be a good, possibly even great ARPG at some point. But the solid and heavy combat, versatile class system and number of possible character builds is littered and held back by bugs, unbalanced abilities and a game that just doesn't run that great. Beautiful graphics and animations only go so far when the game stutters, combat lags and abilities and talents plain just don't work. Maybe it will be good at some point, but as it is now the bugs just ruin almost all the fun Wolcen has to offer.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is frustrating to play for the majority of its campaign, leaving you with little motivation to dedicate more time to endgame events. There are many technical issues that can be fixed to alleviate some of this frustration, but it's the deeper ingrained problems with difficulty balance and character build viability that keep Wolcen from fulfilling its enticing promise of a free-form ARPG. It has all the elements in place to become another engrossing time sink, but it doesn't execute well enough on any of them to make it worthwhile.

    I could appreciate Act 1 in the early access and the game looks really promising.

The game in the current state looks cool and sounds really nice for that it gets a few points, but the rest is just horribly BAD. Talents stack in ways that enable you to one hit bosses, you can dupe items, you can dupe gold, you can brick your game by using the forge or the black market, features promised back in the Kickstarter phase got completely deleted... Maybe the devs will fix it but at the moment this game is a pure disappointment, especially if you bought it on Kickstarter...… Full Review »
