Last Epoch review - paradise for ARPG build-tinkerers that eventually loses steam


Eurogamer's review of Last Epoch, an ARPG with a versatile build system, but a sense of excitement that fades over time.

| Image credit: Eleventh Hour Games / Eurogamer This meant that when I started to head into the later chapters of Last Epoch's campaign and the early endgame, I was a little reluctant to engage with the grind, as I lacked a clear incentive or goal to aim towards. The dungeons have some unique mechanics - like a fiery floor that will toast your toes if you're not careful - but the monolith system is made up of a lot of quick dives into pretty straightforward chambers (echos), where you kill a number of enemies and then leave. During my playthrough I didn't earn a single cosmetic item, which was a shame, as this meant my character ended up wearing whatever grubby rags I picked up off the floor that would work with her build.
