      Final thoughtsGingy_37 - Definitely not a fan of complex skill trees.  I don’t want to feel like I’m learning calculus and geometry when using a skill tree.  My fav skill tree is in Ori and the Blind Forest.  Nice and simple yet felt rewarding when you unlocked a skill.what game’s skill tree did you start off hating but towards the end of the game you ended up liking it?
