    Great game, story is not uninteresting, and then the pleasure in the endgame for me is the rich theory crafting.

    The game is quite demanding but you can overcome this by using Geforce Now.

    They released an unfinished buggy ass game for $59.99 lol THAT STILL IS VERY BUGGY as I write this review. Unless they release a very large update patch to fix a lot of obvious issues do not waste your money.

    I regret buying WOLCEN: LORDS OF BOREDOM, which is probably the worst hack & slash game out there. Sure, it's got good graphics (good, not great), and a new twist on a skill system, also doing away with the classes, but all that doesn't change the fact that WOLCEN is BORING.

    Hack through bland enemies in gauntlet labyrinthian levels, switch your loot, return to store to sell obsolete items, rinse and repeat. Let's face it, this genre needs some innovation, the same old - same old is not gonna do it anymore, and just a different class system is not enough. Even the HUD is hardly distinguishable from that of DIABLO and its clones.
    Paired with tons of bugs and bad controls (try hitting a mobile small enemy like a rat with a pixel-big click window) I got sick and tired of this game halfway through.
    Avoid WOLCEN: LORDS OF BOREDOM like the plague!    … Expand

    This could have been a good game but it's done very bad. I'm not gonna tell about fps lags but about bad targeting(aiming forward but targeting enemy behind you), movement(you will be constantly stuck in things) and poor key reading(can't use healing potion before end of last animation and such a things) which are unforgiving in a diablo-like game. Also main story is a little bit cringy

The visuals are beautiful, the character, item,creature, enviroment design is incredibly detailed, the audio is good too, gameplay mechanics are incredibly fun, the story is interesting.

    You can't reassign left click. That is insanity and on its face is an instant failure for an ARPG in my book. But let's keep going, because the game honestly isn't all bad.

    Almost every skill has a cooldown. This is incredibly lazy design and extremely boring to play ESPECIALLY considering that this game has a unique resource system that could have been used to balance these skills instead. Why do game devs keep putting cooldowns on every skill? Learn to balance your games in more meaningful and creative ways.

    Gameplay is overall slow, partially thanks to everything having cooldowns. Don't play this if you like Diablo 2 or POE.

    Let's talk good though. Character customization is great, the skill tree is really cool, and the game definitely looks good and sounds good overall.

    But realistically the cons outweigh the pros. There are a LOT of cons I didn't cover but I think those are covered well enough by other reviews. Skip this unless you're looking for a casual game to play with friends.    … Expand

    What? WTF is this? Is it even a game? Are you sure that it's not a demo version?

    It's so short unbeleavable. There are just a couple hours of game play in main compain. And after only some kind of simcity and raid:shadows legends(no ads). Okey.

    Okey. If we talking about compain only. Well you can compare it with D3 and PoE and all of them on same ResidentSleeper level. But you can not compare Wolcen with good action rpgs, couse if you start you find Wolcen in tresh bin.

    There are no punishment, no challenge, nothing what can push you to change your build. Just a unharm journey into unicorn lands.

    Also standart set of untested action rpg bugs:
    Invisible chests.
    Clickable companions what prevent your moves.
    Freezes on RTX 3070.

    A failed diablo clone. The game repeats itself too much and the main story is very bad. Some parts become extremely difficult, the difficulty level is very unbalanced. I played for long hours but I don't like it so far. I will try again in the future.

    They released Endgame, which takes all of your characters, drops them all to level 40, takes away all of your skill points, all of your talents, all of your Stormfall upgrades that take days to complete, spits in your face, and expects you to just.. be okay with it and do it all again. Now all the gear you've collected cannot be used until you reach the appropriate level.. again.

    I'm not even going to play the new chapter. It's just not worth it at all.

    Don't buy this game. This is like the fifth time they've taken everything away from the players and said "Do it again" without any warning. Every single update makes this game worse. Every single update breaks five times as much as it fixes. Just leave it to die. The devs want this abomination dead.    … Expand

    Как итог я бы скорее всего игру посоветовал, но ждать от нее ВАУ не стал бы. Моё мнение - это череда косяков разработчиков, которые больше огорчили старых игроков, чем новых.
    За фул прайс я бы не стал брать, но по скидке для прохождения в кооперативе, либо соло на несколько вечеров - самое то.

    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]
