I don't like leaving first-impression reviews here especially for an Early Access release, but this is a game I was kind of excited for, so to see that this self-proclaimed "reinventing of the ARPG genre" is a really clunky mashup of Souls and Diablo with enemies that don't stagger, loot that sucks and platforming that feels like exploiting level geometry, well it didn't really tickle my fancy I'll tell you that much

A near mathematically precise 50/50 split between "We're so back" and "It's so over" is lifted up for me because it's clear that there was charm, passion, and effort that went into this game. Despite the jank and the bevy of technical problems and the fact that it never seems to take full advantage of any of its great ideas, when this game was going it was GOING and for LARGE chunks of the game, too.
So even if I can't in good conscience rate it any higher, I do not regret playing this. I just wish this could have had another 6-ish months of dev time to iron everything out.
