This game used to be my go-to ARPG between PoE leagues. The artstyle was, and still is, sublime. The pixel art style is used very well and fits the game perfectly. The rogue-like relic system was fun to use and losing the relics you picked was heartbreaking in a good way. With the release of hero siege 2 the artstyle changed (in a good way) The relic system changed too (in a bad way). The pace of the game got changed drastically, which for me is also not a good thing. The developers say this is to modernise the game. However, I feel like this was done because Diablo 4 is much slower paced than Diablo 3, and PoE 2 will be a lot slower paced than PoE. Keeping the old pace would've made this game have it's own style and make it stand out way more. Leveling feels much slower for some classes because they get AoE abilities at later levels.

Developers:
I used to love the way they interacted with their playerbase on the discord, even if sometimes not completely PC. People above and below me in the recommendations on Steam have a very strong opinion on the developers. I used to not agree with them and thought they were awesome. Sadly with the announcement of HS2, the beta feedback and now with HS2 being released their stance is: "We are correct and you are wrong". Looking at both the discord, reviews and ingame chat, they might be wrong. A lot of people loved the way HS1 played and are just not feeling the pace of HS2.

Hero siege plus:
Asking a monthly fee for QoL (Like seeing the stat ranges on items) is insane to me. I am not opposed to stuff like special name color, a badge in chat, cursor changes or even the personal hub. But asking a monthly fee to see the stat ranges on an item is weird should be a regular QoL update.

Current state of the game:
At the time of writing the game is still very buggy and should not have been released. When you ask the developers why the game was released too early they just reply with "because". Servers disconnecting and kicking people, inventory being bugged with the only fix being to restart your game and be put back into a queue (That crashes half of the time) is not a fun experience and should've been fixed in the beta stage of the game.

I used to recommend this game to my friends but sadly I can not anymore.
