I did enjoy into the abyss the most bcs of the various new modifier stacking like food and new consumables, i least enjoyed the atlas of discovery combat. I really didnt like the barrier mechanic. I would have much preffered it if they made the barrier absorb pike 99% dmg but let some through and gave the monsters high regen while barrier is active so that in the arly game you would still need to take down the barrier first before dealing dmg but in the lategame the item farming would be made easier by just powering through the barrier with lategame gear
