I bought the game in early access back in 2021, and have been playing it and watching it progress through mutliple patches, so it's interesting to hear first impressions from those who are only just now trying it out with 1.0.
11:17 - Yes. It does. I'm playing as fire/ice mage and when I need to use my crowd control proc (snap freeze + meteor), first a have to fully stop my char, use freeze, and then meteor. I can't use freeze while walking. This is terrible specially when using low max HP chars like my mage.
I completely agree with your review. I think the two biggest issues with the game are the ones you mentioned: difficulty curve is way off (the game is too one shotty both for players and mobs) and the lack of visual progression for your character. Other than that, the game is great and it's got tons of potential.
Damn I always skip those "brutally honest" reviews, hate the cliché in the wording ;) but for you and you only I made an exception. Thank you for the quality vid
All unique weapons were given their own 3D designs to match the 2D icons, and EHG has said they're going to absolutely give all unique armors the same treatment, but it's a slow process.
Having played the game multiple times during EA and now upon release, I feel that despite being a very small studio, very inexperienced as devs (at least at the start of the development), they nailed the class fantasy of each class + their masteries. A rogue feels like a rogue should, but then it's masteries further enhance that class fantasy. It's reflected in the skills themselves, in the icons, in the specific gear for those masteries. You would think it's a given in an ARPG, but studios such as Blizzard seem to have lost their touch and, imo, seem to shy away from trying anything radically new. LE, on the other hand, goes hard when answering the question "Wouldn't that be fun?" The gameplay is so different between the masteries of each character and yet feels so natural during the moment-to-moment gameplay. Playing any mastery I always think that this is how I imagined this class would play like. The Acolyte, for example, can either become a lich, a necromancer or a warlock. And the gameplay is so radically different between them because they all have their unique skills and passive trees & gameplay loop. The lich is the embodiment of death itself, focuses on sweeping around in the death form with giant scythes. The necromancer, as you'd guess, is surrounded by a horde of minions (skeletal or otherwise) that all do different things. While warlock focuses on cursing everything that moves, stacking debuffs onto targets until they die of horrible pain. The last mastery also seems to be themed around Lovecraft's mythos with skills like Chthonic fissure.
Probably jumping the shark on this review. Its been only a couple hours since launch and most of the footage looks like early access. Having said that, I enjoy your videos
Power Fantasy. Does this basically mean easy? You get your build tuned right and you just shred through everything and the challenge of the game becomes how fast you can shred everything, as opposed to surviving. This seems to be what most live servic
I play all ARPGs with a controller if it's possible these days, it's just easier to control my character's movement accurately and I don't have to worry about straining my hand pressing down the left mouse button all the time.
Anyways, I keep asking myself what is different? What does this game bring to the table that POE (for example) doesnt? Is this just a visual change and a re-order of the UI? From what I can tell, it is. Its like saying this park is better than tha
That's pretty lame that the unique items don't look anything like the in-game model. It's not early 2000's anymore. It's probably intentional to get you to buy the future cosmetics, but I hope they fix it in the future.
We appreciate you spending countless hours progressing through the game to review it. But please take 5 seconds to google the correct pronounciation of Epoch. 😊
E-Poke? He apparently doesnt know how to pronounce Epoch. However he is right that its a great game and people will have hundreds of hours of fun if they like.
What is this?! You are mostly showing footage from the early access build, just so you can get your review out before everyone else.. The 1.0 version has immensely upgraded graphics, but we only see that on your level 2 character. What a huge disservice y
This is the most nothing review Ive ever seen. Its like you basically read the Steam page and reiterated what you could find as basic information online. Do better.

That Void Knight gameplay makes Last Epoch look immersive, impactful and methodical
5 power fantasys in 50 seconds man. Youve got the record. Fine achievement.

A review of an ARPG without once mentioning its competitors by name is definitely a feat of some kind.

This review felt like asking someone who read a car brochure to review the car
We play most games for the gameplay, not the story! Very very keen to purchase this game soon :-)
This guy sure does love a good power fantasy...

You played all the way to level 4 and gave a full unbiased detailed review lol. ok Was hoping to see some end game level 100 clips or something
A shot of that l/board whilst mentioning it would have been useful.

The last boss also left me feeling a little incomplete, need to go after orobyos or whatever aphophis mentioned

This game does look fun and super interesting
Bee Spoke of the E-Poke when Thee Spoke

Take a shot every time he says power fantasy
Good ole “last e-poke”
I play all ARPGs with a controller if it's possible these days, it's just easier to control my character's movement accurately and I don't have to worry about straining my hand pressing down the left mouse button all the time.
The game officially launched with all new stuff etc some hours ago and u all ready got FINAL verdict :D ?
Getting this day 1 when its on PS5. Finally a real shaman, I miss my wotlk shammy. I did not like D4 druid, hoping monk is next class.
Wait...when did he switch to last e poke?
Being first is not always best think about creating good content instead of rushed content
Can you have a POWER FANTASY?!!?
Anyways, I keep asking myself what is different? What does this game bring to the table that POE (for example) doesnt? Is this just a visual change and a re-order of the UI? From what I can tell, it is. Its like saying this park is better than tha
so youre telling me that online doesnt work, and it gets 9??

Too bad my Fire Trap marksman just played at a Path of Exile clear speed and I'd rather boot up another APRG if I wanted gameplay like in the video.

bro how do you pronounce epoch differently twice in the same sentence
He gave it a 9 and people are still crying in the comments. Last Epoch fanboys are the worst it seems.
E-Poke? He apparently doesnt know how to pronounce Epoch. However he is right that its a great game and people will have hundreds of hours of fun if they like.
Its not pronounced e-poke its like loch, but with a P!
here I am thinking Im watching a video review of Last Epoch but I saw actually watching a video review of a game called Last E-Poke clickbait
The script of this video is saying a whole lot without explaining jack $#!+.
For the love of God… There is no „action RPG” genre. Back in the old good days it was called „hack’n’slash”. Every RPG has action in it, common…
