A faithful rebuild rather than a reinvention: the original's systems are untouched underneath, including the harsh ones — no shared stash across seasons at launch, respecs are limited, and skill points are permanent. That rigidity is the appeal for some and the barrier for others. Expect to consult a build guide before spending anything.

≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, adventure storytelling and strong narrative focus, while skipping deep simulation

The most immediately readable action RPG of its generation: abilities are swappable at will, combat is fast and legible, and the seasonal loop is well tuned. That flexibility is also the criticism — builds are largely decided by set bonuses, so character identity comes from gear drops rather than from choices you make.
