I, too, enjoyed the campaign. But the campaign alone wasn't worth $70 and once the campaign ended, the game just turned into a boring grindfest.

I don't even feel like casual is the right word because you can have a deep, interesting game without a game feeling like it requires a huge time and energy investment. Something like Last Epoch manages to have depth while still being approachable to casual players.

Diablo just seems... I don't know, hollow. It looks great on paper but falls apart in practice.

I really love how Last Epoch approaches skills. Feels like the near perfect balance between casual and complex.

I wish the game felt a little bit more polished and refined overall, but they have a very strong foundation to work from.

I bought LE ages ago and the progress they've made makes me confident the game will continue to improve in good ways. The designers really seems to understand the genre and what players want. The way they are handling "the trade issue" is a perfect example of that.

The biggest issue right now is a lack of endgame systems. Once they get that fleshed out a little more, they're going to be sitting pretty.
