Can't wait to sink my teeth into this with my kids. They are going to go bonkers. Love what I see about there being endgame content. Seems like they plan on supporting this.
Also, I've been going ham with gamepass lately.

And so many more I want to try... I feel like I can't even keep up.
Just an unbelievable value.

Looking forward to trying it out on Game Pass. I know the campaign is short but is the endgame worthwhile?

From what I've read/seen it depends on how much you've come to expect from ARPG's. If you've played the likes of Diablo/Grim Dawn/Titan Quest/Wolcen etc then you're going to be disappointed because it lacks any sort of depth or variety.
However if it's your first dance with an ARPG and you have no reference points then it could be ok.

Babbys first ARPG? Yeah I guess I'll pass.

Have they mentioned anything about long-term support? It feels like a pretty good starting point but pushed out the door with only the minimal of content. I guess my main concern is if this is just more Gamepass fodder meant to keep people busy for a couple of months, or if they see this as the start of a much larger eco-system eventually.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this game is being released without much content, in the middle of an Xbox game draught. If you are looking at a multiplatform release then now is a terrible time considering both PS4 and Switch have massive games releasing the same time.

Windows store.
But get it (and any other Windows store/ganepass games) via the Xbox app:
It's a much better experience. I've had no complaints while using the Xbox app other than the time my Ori install got corrupted when it was installing an update.

There's two additional DLC packs, but I suspect this might be a confidence and supply deal based on how well it does.

Sink your teeth into this? That's like when you're hungry saying I can't wait to devour this single baby carrot!

Game Pass has been killing it over the past couple months. If this was an Xbox exclusive you’d maybe have a point but since it’s not, I just have a hard time seeing your argument
Do baby carrots drop loot?

3 hours long with no content to replay? Even if I were a kid i would not play this at all nor would I give it to my children.

Bottom line is, if the loot is cool then the game will get a lot of play from even casual ARPG fans. I'm not expecting to be blown away by the game but it looks like a fun time. I am a little burnt out on Wolcen and Grim Dawn so it will be a nice change of pace for me.

Before they streamlined it? Running through normal took a few days. I'd say somewhere between 10 and 15 hours.

That's a bummer. Kinda surprised by this.

Someone would should double check the length to complete MD. I read somewhere it was over 7 hours and that wasn’t including the different difficulty levels.

Was going to pick this up on Switch but heard it's only a 3hr game and the loot system is legit trash, Sup with that?

Does the game not have a physical release? I can't find it anywhere in the UK. Surprised by that, considering the popularity of the franchise.
Sounds good to me; short length and simpler mechanics than Diablo are both positives for my personal taste.

9 hours and 45 mins from now. Terrible time to launch it.
1am PDT 4 am EDT. I was hoping to go to New Zealand after work, or wait until UK time.

I feel like "Babys first arpg" is actually a great selling point. Love the idea of bringing my nephew into this.

It was posted here that it's a faily small project made by 3 Mojang guys in their off time. Might not be physical release material. Especially given that most of the target audience are digital natives anyway.
However I assume they will push for that once the sales numbers are good.

So it’s not a multiplatform game? Released at 19.99?
Because you say so, it just more Gamepass fodder for the same reasons?
I guess every other indie game or multiplatform game must succumb to the same scrutiny.
Theres too much for me to unpack here.

This game is buggy as fuck.
I've seen enemies falling out the world, bosses get stuck due to AI path-finding, I've even clipped outside of the map on occasion and had to restart a level from scratch.
Tried playing on the PC version to see if that was any better, and I guess they never even tested it with mouse controls as they haven't incorporated any sort of click-occlusion, so if you click on something you are supposed to walk under, they think you are instructing the AI to path-find you on top of an (unreachable) archway which makes them go all weird and head off in a random direction.
Still going to stand by my statement that this was never intended to be a $20 game, I feel like they had to get this out the door to fill out a quiet gamepass month and were just like "meh, we'll just make it cheap". I've played early access titles with more polish and content than this.
Visually it looks clean as fuck, I'll give it that.
Anyhow, curious what other folks will make of it - reviews seem pretty positive overall. Maybe I missed all the prior communication that it wasn't going to be an epic AAA title so had unreasonable expectations.

I literally just booted it up like 15 minutes ago, running through the first area now.
Can you get enhcantment points back? Like, this first enchantment point I used on a sword I probably will outlevel in 5 minutes, can I get that point back?
edit
I see, you just salvage the old gear

Great OP. My 4 year old and I beat the first teo levels in couch coop. Got some gear and enchanted a few items. We only collected 63% of the chest but 93% of the enemies on level two. He really likes the game and i like it also. This is normal difficulty.
