Alright as somebody who has played for at least 12 hours in season 2, I now feel both prepared and compelled to share an opinion.
It’s better. But if you already experienced 1-100 in pre or season 1, or if you haven’t played but have ARPG experience - don’t bother with season 2. I won’t tell you the game is 0/10 after spending 100 hours in it, but I can say that the juice is not worth the squeeze.
There’s quite a few good changes that people have already talked about elsewhere.
However at the end of the day you still spend a quarter or more of your time trying to figure out if the loot is actually an upgrade. I get really bored scanning Rares to check IP, stats, etc. every 5-10 minutes.
I don’t see any incentive to continue Uber Duriel and other boss runs because getting a Shako, grandfather, etc. isn’t very exciting to me. If the idea of getting one of these is exciting to you, you might have more fun with it.
Overall T100 is easy to complete at level 80 in IP 800 gear, Uber Duriel is doable by level 90s solo in a 4 man group, and there’s no other end game content. I don’t enjoy “loot simulator” and I think Vampire Survivors on Steam has superior itemization and game play.
