Fellow Diablo 2 snobs: Path of Exile 2 is the game we’ve been waiting for

Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) entered early access on December 6, allowing players to engage with the game during a significant snowstorm. The game is an action role-playing game (ARPG) that combines elements of hacking, slashing, looting, leveling, crafting, and questing. Players can tackle challenges solo or cooperatively, with the initial act presenting a high level of difficulty. Enemy levels do not scale with the player's character, making strategy and skill essential for survival. Each boss encounter is designed to test player skill, and the game features a support gem system for creative playstyles and a customizable passive skill tree. Grinding Gear Games is addressing player feedback with hotfixes to improve gameplay, including adjustments to loot and currency drops, map systems, and dodge mechanics. PoE 2 runs smoothly on PC and is compatible with gaming handhelds, offering a visually stunning experience. It will be free-to-play after the early access phase.
