Activision Blizzard is a hellhole of a workplace owned by Bobby "Satan" Kotick. They have been sued and settled multiple times for toxic work culture and serious sexual harassment allegations. Blizzard want to charge me $20 to be able to play the game one week early. The game is $70, and can go as expensive as $100 with battlepass. There will be ingame monetization. The game is MMO-lite and basically a grindy slot machine.
All I want is to go for an adventure, go dungeon crawling with my pet wolf frens, and you'd be surprised there is literally not that many games that allow us to do so.
I haven't played this because video games are bad for my mental health, but I've been very curious about Chronicon. If you don't mind retro/low end graphics it seems to be peak ARPG in terms of gameplay loot-loop and dedication of developers. It's also like $15.
Peak ARPG is exactly how I'd describe it. Tons of skills that proc or exploit effects added by other skills to create a screenwide bonanza of visual clutter spam. More builds than you can shake a stick at. Synergies between different skill trees allowing you to dip. Stuff like that.
