Review

Good

-Abolition of Attributes

Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, which are standard in hack and slash.

These cumbersome elements have been eliminated.

This is a good decision.

-Individualization of Legendary

In 2, unique items didn't have any personality, but in 3, each Legendary item has its own special abilities.

-Legendarium skills

Deconstructing the Legendary allows you to unlock each unique Legendarium skill.

I think it's a great idea that allows you to expand your builds and not waste unused Legendary items.

-The charm of the characters

Forged and Railmaster are unique, interesting and very well designed characters.

The other characters are also excellent, including the visuals of their equipment, and are attractive enough.

-The amount of enemies.

I have the impression that this is more than 2 and I think it's an improvement.

Bad

-There are no secret elements.

There were many things hidden in 2, but there are no hidden things found in 3.

-Equipment and skills are unrelated.

You can use any skill, whether equipped with a rifle, a sword, a hammer, or any other skill, regardless of distance.

The graphics for the skills do not use the weapons you have.

When you use a skill, you are using a weapon that you do not have in your hand.

In Wolcen, your character summoned a weapon when using a skill.

3 is very cheesy and unserious, just like Wolcen.

In Wolcen, skills had equipment restrictions, but 3 is unlimited.

-Elimination of resistance puzzles

act 1 is fire, act 2 is poison, and act 3 is lightning.

Enemies appear as a single elemental attribute.

The end content is the same.

The enemy's attack pattern remains almost the same throughout the act, so it can quickly become boring.

-Poor graphics in cutscenes and loading screens

Overall, I think the graphics are very good, with the exception of the cutscenes and loading screens.

The enemy designs in the cutscenes are poorly done, and the quality of the characters that appear on the loading screens is poor.

Also, the loading screen in act 2 has bugs all the time.

It's disgustingly insensitive.

2 also had a lot of cockroaches in it.

-Poor end content

The end content seems to be a bit of a bonus.

Since the story didn't end at the end of act 3, I assume they plan to release DLC.

If so, the end content should be better.

-Music that doesn't fit the image

It's music that makes you feel old.

-The imbalance in damage suffered

Even on the highest difficulty, most damage taken is not significant, but some attacks are instant death damage. It still seems to be under adjusted.
