Undecember: New Age

I found Path of Exile a while back but gave it up because it was WAY too gory. I was bummed because the gameplay was so fun. Then I stumbled on this gem and have been loving it! I first tried it on mobile. It worked pretty well (with an Xbox controller) but then I tried the Steam version. I was bummed that there wasn't a Mac OS version, but I had an older PC and installed it there. It feels a lot like Path of Exile and it had a Teen rating instead of Mature. Don't worry, there is still a lot of killing and blood, just not rivers of blood and disemboweled naked women like PoE has. I know there are a lot of negative reviews because of pay-to-win/play. I was worried about that but after playing it I saw that it was a lot like PoE in that you play for free but pay to expand storage. I don't like how much they charge to expand storage, but I feel like this game is completely playable so far without spending a penny. I'm still getting into it, but I like it so far and am excited to see where they take this game. I, for one, will be playing a lot more of it.

This is a great game. Definitely a great alternative to Diablo. However, I found myself spending more time in the beginning researching the differences between gear tiers, gear levels, etc. The gear system in an of itself, while a good concept, feels more complicated and confusing than it needs to be. The system should be more streamlined and easier to understand. For instance, enhancing gear should bring the gear level itself up (the gear level which, in fact, apparently has no true purpose or meaning at this current time). Once a certain level is reached, the gear can then be ascended to an upper tier. And there should be a max tier based on rarity. The highest tier obviously being reserved for legendary gear. There shouldn’t be a system in place to upgrade the rarity of an item. Leave that for RNG. Causes more grind, and creates more playability. The Options mechanic should exist as a separate system and should function as gear enchantments. Further fortifying certain stats and adding certain perks for the gear. Honestly, I feel like the entire gear system needs a systemic redesign to enhance user friendliness and overall understanding.

First off hats off the the devs this was my first Argp an I absolutely love everything about it. A few packages in shop you can buy that gives you a small boost ahead but far from p2w. I’ve spent prob 80$ it happily satisfied with all I bought but today I think it’s time to uninstall the game. The auction house using rubies(real money currency) is very umm how can I say not what players want. There should be an option to sell for gold as well not just rubies. 2nd and main reason I’ve decided to let the game go is it just get too difficult beyond act 6+ for melee chars or medium range chars. Regular mobs have auras that you cannot build any resist against and depletes your hp in less than 10 seconds and have movement speed buffs where you can’t run from them. Boss fights are suppose to be difficult but they kinda took it too far on here with some being as almost all the bosses 1 shot you if you get hit no matter what type build you go unless it’s full tank, an even then you down if a few hits. I’ve noticed in discords this is one of the main reasons players are quitting I hope the devs see this and think about their designs and make some adjustment to the enemies as it is a great game but some of the difficulties just make it not worth even playing anymore.
