    Zerei todos Diablo, olhei pra este jogo e curti o que eu vi e comprei,e já estou bem longe no game e até estou gostando muito, muito mais do que Diablo 3,até agora jogando offline não tive nenhum travamento ou bug no Xbox série S, achei o jogo bonito e pra quem está reclamando e dando nota baixa está inventando....

    Clearly this game had a troubled launch, but it's a great game. Great graphics, and it's very fun. Definitely recommend.

    Why is this game rated so bad? It's not as good as Diablo but almost as good and graphics are even better than Diablo 3

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People keep comparing the game to Diablo 3 and Path of Exile. Games that have been out for many years and have had many years with patches, fixes and optimization passes.

    While there are issues with the game, admittedly, not everyone experience them. I personally haven't experienced it, albeit i play solo and not online.

    Ability nodes do have issues with balance, but this is something that Diablo 3 and Path of Exile still have issues with. Abilities that are too OP or some that does less than intended.

    The game itself has a deep and well written lore and a story, albeit only 3 chapters, that is longer than even Diablo 3's story.

    The loot system is quite good and isn't as harsh (in my opinion) as Diablo 3 and Path of Exile, though it could definitely do with some improvement.

    After the main story is finished, that's when the real game (and fun!) begins, because Wolcen have unique features that neither Path of Exile nor Diablo 3 have.

    You get to build up your city and do lots of activities. Far more interesting than the mindless Greater Rift system in Diablo 3 at the very least.

    Then there's the soundtrack. It is the first time i have actually bothered listening to the in-game music while playing a game of this genre. It is hands down the best soundtrack i have listened to in years.

    Graphic-wise, it is beautiful.

    Animations are very good and spot on.

    Controls are responsive and spot on.

    Voice acting is spot on and the dialogues are well written throughout the entirety of the main story.

    I'm not giving it a full 10/10 however, because as i said, there are issues they do need to solve, however, i won't slaughter it like other angry reviewers have done due to encountering a few bugs in-game in multiplayer.

    They need to get the bosses fine tuned and balanced along with their abilities.

    They need to sort out the apocalyptic forms, because they are simply too weak and act more like an invulnerability shield than anything else.

    I'll leave it at a solid 8/10.    … Expand

    Game is receiving bad reviews because of issues with servers on the launch day (due to the massive users concurrence). This happened even to Diablo 3 and not represent the quality of the game.
    I could appreciate Act 1 in the early access and the game looks really promising.

    This game is so good! Yes it could be more polished but I have only had 1 crash in 30 hour game time.
    Really flexible class building and lots of action! Graphics look really nice and so ist he combat.
    This game is definitely worth it's money you gonna have a blast!

    People are very salty on this game, and a lot of people finds the first boss to be to difficult. The fact of the matter is, you should not put evrything in damage output, sometimes defense is a good thing! The game is interresting, and the skill tree is very cool! I am still wanting more, and I think has patch come out we will get more!

    An excellent game by all accounts, even if buggy at launch. Sinking hours upon hours with my friends. Point by point:

    - Visually great - Story, characters and dialogues are a breath of fresh air, something that mature audiences will appreciate.

    In this current states, some bugs and servers issues, nothing that can't be resolved in the near future. Don't forget it's a little team behind it, still the work is insane, the graphics are great and well optimized. Great potential, let it grow ! Don't take the 0/10 into account, it's just frustration of impatient peoples.

    A great game with a lot of loot and independent character creation and building. However could not give a higher score due to the multiple bugs experienced but I am sure that Wolcen Studios are working very hard to iron them out.

    Wolcen has 3 irresistible qualities: Graphics, audio, combat - The perfection of these 3 elements are what makes me patient about the further bugsolving because i hardly can mention any other game which visuals would be so amazing as Wolcen's. Maybe there are a few games, but they are in other game-genres. In terms of ARPG Wolcen is the most beautiful with its incredible landscapes, weather effects, and special effects in battle, and every visual aspect of the game is wonderful.
    The sound effects in battle are striking - making your attacks almost palpable together with the animations of the enemy as they are hit - some player-mob positioning should be specified yet - but the battles are very satisfying and successfully build the feeling of "I want it again".
    Other strong aspect of the game is the music, which is a masterfully composed orchestral flow with smooth transition between the pieces. Epic soundtrack with heroic parts when nice tunes are played, and with beating parts with strong drums for the darker battles. So the 8 hour orchestral soundtrack is very diverse, and contains excepcionally beautiful parts, and exceptionally thrilling parts. The music is so great that i would listen to it forever, and together with the incredible graphics the immersion is irresistible.
    On forums there are players who suggest to go back to GD or PoE or DIII, but before that, i suggest to everybody to give Wolcen a try. Because after Wolcen all the mentioned ARPGs will look expired monochrome-interlaced VGA games with cirip sounds.    … Expand

    Extraordinary beauty (and extraordinary bugginess) aside, Wolcen is a run-of-the-mill ARPG that takes "inspiration" from every popular game in the genre and mixes it with its own questionable know-how. [Issue#244, p.64]
