My favorite part about Last Epoch was their insane "recruit a friend" system in the game on launch, that basically derailed their entire first few days and killed a lot of momentum they might have had by gutting any attempt to build a community.
They removed it and gave everyone the pet for free, which good on them, but it was such a stupid idea that it blows my mind they let it reach launch.
Also D3 is better than most of these games simply because it doesn't even pretend like it isn't a skinner box meant to be "BIG NUMBERS" and "SHINY COLOR DROPS." They don't jerk you around with any of the nonsense of building a gear set or skill points. Every season you basically get a free Set that makes you explode everything in your vision and then you go around exploding it until you hit a wall where you explode first.
Its a game filled with flaws, but its the most upfront with its "fun" and mindless nature. You don't have to pay someone to powerlevel you through 3 Acts or grind until you get that one drop that makes a build work or any of the other reasons why most people give up on games like Grim Dawn. You are given BIG NUMBER and then can play until that gets boring.
