Been playing it off and on in early access and I am looking forward to launch. Its a run hybrid type ARPG/survival RPG and of course vampires.

Great game for the price...and really fun with friends.

What exactly was the end game? Seems like one starts fighting bosses in the early going so what's different at the top?

Valdheim

Gonna revisit it today as I'm curious how this is going to feel like with a controller

When it actually launches, we while get a better idea, opinions even from players during early access can be very skewed. Still, I have hopes for this one.

Story. very obtuse. DLC when I prepaid, highly antagonistic. Regardless, one of the genres very few (and well done) vampire survivors.

What's antagonistic about the dlc?

Opinions from people who don't play the games even more so.

Well, it launched. 
Fine game. Very fine game.

This is a great game, at least when I played it in early access.  I love the mechanics in this game.  Combat is great, abilities seem well thought out.  Overall just a solid game.

I dont generally give a good review for many games these days.  However this one gets a thumbs up from me.

I played this solo and again with friends.  Its fun either way.

The journey to the end is the game, I wouldnt say there is an end game, at least when I played in Early Access that was how it was.

Each boss kill opens up unique abilites, which you will use throughout the game in different situations and in combination with other abilities you get.

Essentially each boss has a different slight weakness, you need to get the abilities and weapons to exploit the weakness, including using the terrain.  Even after you find the weakness, the boss battle seemed very challenging, at least on Hard Mode they were.

So you will slowly be changing out abilities and weapons for different bosses.  Keeps the game fresh as you level up.

But its not an MMO, I feel it has an endpoint.  I had 160 hours after 1.5 playthroughs.  People that like to prep and grind more, could probably exceed that by quite a bit.

160 hours is not to be sniffed at, but I don't think anyone saw this as a proper MMORPG? For a MO 160 seems solid to me.

I take your point, but I think as long as you aggregate all the opinions you hear from those who are playing you get a decent picture.
