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'm a huge fan of the original Titan Quest, but I never got the groove with Grim Dawn even though it's measurably better in every way. I had to realize I just loved the whole sunny beaches and familiar mythology that wasn't just invented for the game and not so much the gameplay. I always thought I liked gameplay but I guess I like the whole mood of a game and the story and characters more. I didn't know.
