More about Last Epoch

Players rate it 76 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 53 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 4,652 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 22.6 hours; clearing it takes 84, which is 3.7 times the campaign.

119,286 reviews stand behind that percentage.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

This is a good game, I enjoy it for what it is. Bored of poe and don't want to be another one of blizzards victims, play this.

I am a competitive lover of ARPGs. I have ~8,000 hours logged between the Diablo franchise, POE, Torchlight, Grim Dawn, etc. I am not a stranger to the genre, and I am ecstatic that we are spoiled for choice with so many great options when the other game loops get boring. And in a world of forced online play, this game delivers everything with the added perk of being able to play offline; if you play SSF hardcore...

Honestly I want to like this game, but the combat just feels super weightless, it doesn't feels fun after 20-30 hours in unless you just playing a season which is fine but given the amount of season this game have, its just not very fun to really even play. The crafting system is one of the best you can ask and the way they handled ssf and trade. Unless you really like this genre and want to only play to fill some...
