Brave Yep, the last boss fight was a mess. It’s bad enough that they have this huge difficulty spike, but the worst part is once you get to that point in the campaign, there’s nowhere to respec. So if you try the fight and discover that your gear/spec setup isn’t suitable, you’re a bit stuffed.
It also seemed to ignore some of the basic rules of the game. I play a pyro where the main means of recovering health is killing enemies after applying the “burn” status to them. But despite the boss spawning tons of adds, I couldn’t get the pyro heal to trigger most of the time. Maybe a bug, or perhaps you’re supposed to bring a weapon with tons of life leech. Which would be fine if you could respec, but you can’t.
But disappointing end aside, I had a great time with the campaign and I’m definitely up for levelling another class and more co-op if anyone is about. The expedition stuff seems interesting too and I’m looking forward to giving that a proper try.
In some ways I actually wish it was a live service game so there’d be a stream of new content. The core game mechanics are enjoyable and deep enough that I would happily keep playing for a long time.
