Well that is probably in no small part due to the fact the devs respond on reddit rather than here. Which pushes LE discourse there rather than here.
Itās good, like⦠really good. Iām @ 31 hours and while I have all 6 current unique mastery combinations at the first major town, only one of the 6 has progressed past that point. It took me ~20h according to Steam to get all 6 to Pyrgos, and now Iām at ~31, so if we shave off ~3h due to AFK and the roughly 2 hours I spent figuring out how damage is calculated, Iām at ~12h on one character thatās fully explored the Flooded Farmland area and itās nearly done with whatās available story wise, so by my estimates Iāll get ~72±2 hours of playtime before taking into account that thereās also the 4 pure classes and the āUnblessedā challenge to get me ~60 more hours lol.
If you only want to play one character people are reporting around 6-12 hours depending on build, how much they explored/did side quests, and if they actually read the dialogue. So ymmv.
Hermeās Shrine and the Two Spirits were such great little side puzzles. You could easily miss both of them, one person on the Steam Forums even mentioned having one of the unique items for the puzzle in their inventory but didnāt know what to do with it.
Itās not āA real world civilization in a fantasy settingā itās āa fantasy world from stories that have been told for centuriesā. Ancient Greece didnāt have Satyrs, Icthians, giant crabs shooting high-pressure beams of water, or literal Gods and Goddesses, but it did have stories and legends about those things. Itās within those stories that the Titan Quest games take place. Itās like saying you donāt want to explore Hogwarts because London exists in that universe
Graphics and music are nice. So far with whats in the 0.1 version I am not enjoying almost anything out of it to the point Id care. Im sure it will get a lot better with updates obviously but I am skipping the game for the moment
No, itās not based on ancient stories. Itās well-known 3rd century BC Greece mixed with fantasy creatures. Ancient Greece is so heavily represented in modern culture that it doesnāt feel interesting anymore. I like magic, fantasy creatures, and gods - but why Greece? Whatās so special about Greece? Why not Italy or Afghanistan? Itās like walking into a high-end restaurant expecting something exotic, only to find theyāre serving expensive Japanese Kobe beef on a $2 grocery store bun you eat every day.
