The Canadian Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is mainly known for his skill in shooters. However, the former pro also enjoys playing MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and action RPGs. Now he is particularly fond of Last Epoch, which he praises in almost all areas.
This is how well Last Epoch is received:
- Last Epoch has been available on Steam for years and has been playable in version 1.0 since February 21. Since then, it has consistently had over 100,000 simultaneous players (via steamcharts).
- Almost everything about the ARPG excites the players, but it had some time only “balanced” reviews. Shortly after release, the servers caused problems and there are still connection issues.
- Among ARPG fans, Last Epoch is currently the topic of the day. Experts like streamers are extensively dedicating themselves to the game and some are even switching directly from Diablo 4.
This is what shroud says: The well-known Twitch streamer shroud has been playing Last Epoch for a while now. In his latest stream on March 3, he raved about the game and explained why he is currently celebrating it:
This game has so many things, and at the same time, it’s not too hard. [Even] a fool like me could figure it all out with enough time. You just have to use the crafting system once or twice for each of its categories, then you’ll understand it.

Especially the crafting system is a point that excites many veterans. Even players with over 6,000 hours in Path of Exile praise the crafting and the itemization in general. This is also one of the biggest positives for shroud.
The streamer says: The hunt for items is extremely successful. You keep finding items where you wonder if you could build something cool out of them. The “wild hunt for loot” and the countless resulting builds are what’s cool about Last Epoch.
You can find shroud’s latest stream about Last Epoch on Twitch. His comments on the game and Diablo 4 start around 1:53:50.
A particularly crazy build doesn’t even need weapons to work. You can see how Last Epoch looks in the trailer:
“I don’t know if I can ever play Diablo again”
While talking with his chat, shroud brings up the comparison to Diablo 4. He says:
I don’t know if I can ever play Diablo again. It’s just not worth it. [Last Epoch] beats it in almost every single area.
Diablo 4 is only superior in two things: performance and graphics. Last Epoch is not ugly, but what Diablo does with its skills is simply overwhelming. Every skill is stunning and has a visible impact on the world.
In terms of performance, Diablo 4 is also significantly ahead. Everything runs smoothly and looks great. Nvidia’s DLSS, for example, would be a system that could propel Last Epoch forward significantly, according to shroud.
The streamer concludes his praise with the fact that it’s now about how Last Epoch will perform in the future. The game was released in top condition, making it difficult to deliver corresponding quality afterwards. Other games have it easier: they release poorly and then become better with features that are actually expected. However, the developers apparently already have big plans: Last Epoch wants to become the best game in the genre – Explains how it will continue with a big update
