Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising

Good idle game

Great idle game!!! So many idle games are slop, it's very heart warming to see a properly launched game. Early/midgame is engaging and fun, and it's easy to walk away from and let progress happen hands off. Pros - bug free - smooth transitioning & progression - plenty of tutorials, help tooltips, and quest tasks to teach you the full game mechanics within a day playing - Visual and audio is tight - Set and forget filters for loot to auto sell - Banishing a character (you want to do this when you replace common with rare or legendary newly recruited char) you can refund tokens that speed level up the new character. I really like this quality of life, it's very thoughtful Not great but not terrible - The stats need some restrictions, it's a little too RNG, an item should thematically tie to a class. A strength + int items makes me think Cleric specific for consideration but then you look at the rest of the affixes and frown. The issue here is comitted and enabling to one way or another. If there's going to be no restrictions loot piniata stats on gear. Give me ways to sort and filter better so i can review by character ... otherwise it's too much manually mousing over and considering for the volume of loot - The resources (gold, blood, bones) are very NGU. Just when you think you have enough to do the one thing you were looking forward to doing, rng takes over and drains and tanks the resources. Great example is unlocking legendary prisoners and I want specifically a legendary mage. I drained all my gold and didnt get even one legendary prisoner when i set the slot machine on auto. It's a bit too much of a rollercoaster between having resources and zeroing out. - Progression can stall, and to make progress you need RNG to line up. Get a unique or legendary chest to give you the right slot item with the right stats for the right character is low chance x low chance x low chance. Bad - No way to see a specific potential recruit's full talent tree when in prison UI. It makes bewitching (recruitment) similar to paying blinds in poker. This leads to even more gold drain playing roulete
