Eurogamer POE review, 7/10

7/10 is pretty generous for this game, and not a bad score by any account.

How anyone can figure this game to be more than 7/10 is beyond me.

1. Fairly bad graphics that look really dated, and have that horrible 'everything is too shiny and plastic looking' ala oblivion.

2. Clunky and awkward looking character animations.

3. Clunky and disconnected combat feel.

4. Quite a few skill/ability targeting problems. Cones don't hit what they are aimed at etc.

5. Uninspired character and armor design.

Playing this game feels like your walking around in wooden shoes that are 2 sizes too big for you.

/shrug. I'd give it a 6/10, and I think that's being fairly generous.


Given that pretty much every other review is 8/10 or higher, you and eurogamer must have quite a unique taste in games :>
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Fair score in my opinion.

I really wish they overhauled the engine and art assets during open beta. The shiny/plastic feel definitely bothered me at first as well. The art design and clunky combat are what lower the score for me. Everything else is fine, although trading is quite a bit more complex than say D2 where I thought it was perfect.
Well the fact that the game is for FREE makes it 10000/10 to me

Torchlight 2's sense of style????

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT??????????????????

That's like giving Mozart a 7/10 because he lacks Justin Bieber's legendary musical talent.

Exactly. Eurogamer caters for casual and hobbyist PC gamers. They like cutesy graphics. See TL2, D3. They prefer COD and BF4.Indie or AAA makes no difference. Buy, play for 20 minutes, then next game, repeat ad nauseum.
POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!
Its also funny how they claim the game is too easy, when the reviewer only played as far as cavern of wrath and had just 6 or 7 skill points allocated (and very poorly lolnoob allocations as well).

Most 12 year olds could write a better review than that too, maybe the guy that wrote it was age 6-8.
