@eduardo - whoa, I didn't even catch that. 120 hrs for a METROIDVANIA ... ?!?!?!?! that's insane. My buddy and I go back and play Castlevania SOTN pretty regularly (every few years), which I consider probably the best game ever made in the genre, and even then I do tire of it a bit near the end, and am ready to move on. And it's SUPER short compared to this announcement. Whoa.

I think I had truly forgotten about this game as well! It still looks great, so will look forward to a demo.

WHOA.

I never thought it would exist. I thought they made enough cash on the first one they could live their lives forever and just not be worried by the stress and insanity the follow up would create, but here I stand corrected!

Damn damn damn damn damn. This game looks so awesome! But then I see the worst word in all of gaming "rogue" and it's an instant no. Damn.

definitely excited for this one! Dome Keeper was so good. The later updates were pretty bad (that added character what on earth were they thinking omg) but the core game was fantastic.

Will it live up to expectations? I don't know man, this is an insane amount of hype. I would NOT want to be in their shoes, but I wish them the best! My buddy and I loved Hollow Knight 1, but I feel like that was so long ago I can barely even remember it haha

Absolutely agree with everyone else: love the art style and setting, so this is a definite wishlist~!

This is it folks! If you like arpg's in general, or like the game itself, this is the last chance to play the game developed by 11th hr.

This is the last bit of content (at least major stuff) they'll release and then it'll be forever tainted by the disgusting filth from Krafton. They may as well just do a total rebrand, because it won't be Last Epoch anymore.

I've had fun with the game in the past, played through to endgame on multiple occassions, and I'll probably fire up this season just for sentimental "goodbye old friend" reasons.

edit:

oh, and @d10sfan - there is a truly offline mode for SSF if you want it. They released it just before (or was it right with it?) the 1.0 release, so you may have played before they released that, but nowadays you can play truly offline single player. That's how I play, since I don't care about any online stuff.

I see a lot of upset posts on bluesky about this, and I'm kind of on the fence myself. If a game isn't specifically about a certain region or people in present times, then why would I care what language gamers review it in?

Like for instance, I love playing fantasy or scifi rpgs. None of them are based in any semblance of present day places or people. So ... again, I don't care if a person speaks spanish or english, or whatever, why would I?

Also, as someone who wants to be LESS insular (especially in these horrible united states right now) wouldn't it be good to get some gaming thoughts and reviews from people from different cultures all over the world? Why would I want to remove all that?

I see specific "this game isn't translated well" negative reviews totally separate, and feel they could have tackled that issue differently.
