Make no mistake, as Wolcen: Lords of the launch of Mayhem was mired by bugs

Make no mistake, as Wolcen: Lords of the launch of Mayhem was mired by bugs and users should do their homework and know what to  expect before determining whether they want to make Wolcen's purchase at this early point during launching. However, assuming Wolcen will gradually take off in leaving the bugs supporting when that which is hopefully fleshed out, there's enough unique differences between Diablo 4 and Wolcen by which they could each stand by themselves in this genre.

This should provide players more quality option within this genre that has become more market in modern times, as gamers look for newer alternatives beyond Diablo 3, Path of Exile or Grim Dawn, that have stood the test of time thus far.

Enthusiasts were disappointed with the more linear and compact ability and character customization system of Diablo 3 compared to Diablo 2, and Wolcen pays homage to such sentiments. Wolcen enables for an archetypal approach to character customization, doing away with the traditional class system by enabling players to utilize some of the game's skills regardless of which course they choose, together with weapons and gear which make the most of the selected abilities. In other words, no matter which kind of character a participant originally selects, if it be a magic user or melee combatant, then Wolcen's characters utilize the same massive skill tree.

Perhaps Wolcen took notice of Path of Exile's gigantic skill-tree system, but provided a more condensed version of its non-linear system, developing a system which is more streamlined, yet still much deeper than Diablo 3's. An individual can do this if one wants to be a magical caster that specializes in melee combat. Wolcen's skill tree can be reset at for additional experimentation.

That is not to state Wolcen is without its criticisms, as some gamers have voiced concern over Wolcen's system, even going as far as to describe it as lazy in just compiling all of the game's abilities together in 1 skill tree, no matter what type of personality a player selects. The machine surely defies class systems, and also the significant factor here is that Wolcen provides. And for different players, awaiting Diablo 4, or adhering with Path of Exile, may better match them.
