That seems like a fair description on the surface and opinion on the game heading into a full release is generally positive.
The game also has fresh gameplay elements that could set it apart from the competition. Time travel slots in alongside the usual ARPG fare to create a seemingly compelling landscape for Last Epoch to grow into.

Can you preload Last Epoch?
As an Early Access game, Last Epoch is able to buy and download from Steam at the time of writing. That said, it will become unavailable to purchase 24 hours before release. From there, players will have to wait to load the game onto their PCs.
With not long to go before the game’s release, Last Epoch has a delicate balancing act to ensure the full version of the game rolls out without too many hiccups.
