Its safe to say this is nothing like a souls-like game outside of the first 3h of gameplay in the story. Once you understand how to make builds and get any reasonable high level setup going, you will still zoom thru 99% of the game and kill bosses in 1 second, without using any combos or any dodges or anything souls-like.
And this is still a ZOOMZOOM game once you play ACTUAL endgame.
Whats the logic behind making the first 4 hours of the story an annoying slogfest, but the actual 1000 hours of endgame loop is still zoomzoom like poe1?
and on my view that should be solved by making endgame SLOWER if people reallyu care for the endgame. I honestly find endgame super boring. a logn campaign with lots of acts and a tactical game play is where I have most of my fun. The endgame get boring after a handful of maps..
