UPDATE 3: 701 hours in. 4 builds, 2 classes, still grinding Tarya Gratar and pushing to reach Tier 40 with one of them. I can't believe I've been grinding mostly the same place solo (or with friends) for 267 hours. I still hate that the Worlslayer DLC content is so slim for it's price, but I'm still grinding more hours than most of my story-rich games. Unbelievable. One more run, please.

UPDATE 2: At 644 hours now and the RNG gods have me hooked on little old Tarya Gratar. This is definitely for those who love repeated grinding for the hopes of getting the best rolls on loot. It takes an average of an hour to go through one full run of the place. If you get really tired of the content, just go bust some heads in Expeditions to stay a bit fresh.

UPDATE: I'm 434 hours into this game and there's no looking back. Massively enjoyed the content over and over again. WorldSlayer DLC, here we come!

Original review:
The game is awesome when it works. One of the most fun looter shooters I've played since Division 2. The grind can be really addictive. I don't have much skills, so I'm enjoying the difficulty even on World Tier 8. It's really fun with friends.

Yes, there are currently connection issues. Since this cannot be played offline, you are at the mercy of the servers for playing even solo. Maybe they weren't prepared for their own success? Time will tell if these issues will be ironed out. But for now, I will give a thumbs up to a more permanent aspect of the game, which is it's fun, and hectic gameplay, and it's addictive looter shooter mechanic. I mean, there's a reason people would pour 100 hours into their demo, right?

What? There's a story? ^_^
