Path of Exile 2 Might Be The Best ARPG Of All Time

Path of Exile is already an incredible game, and one of the few titles to see continuous growth over a decade post-launch. So it's crazy to see the sequel appears to be making the game even better. This is looking like it might just be the best ARPG of all time.

they actually show long gameplay in their trailers which is so good

GGG shows us time and time again that listening to your players AND actually playing your own game will make it better

As someone who wanted a more complex and deep version of Diablo 2, Path of Exile just feels like the perfect gift. I think it is by far the best ARPG of all time. If POE2 is going to be better than that, well that is just damn great.

One of my favorite things as people talk about the classes in PoE/PoE2....is how they almost always spend 95% of the time talking about SKILLS, which aren't locked to your class AT ALL. Same with weapons. It's not the CLASS that gives you these things, it's the SKILL GEMS. Which in PoE2 of course they are given to these classes more automatically, which gives them identity. I wish more folks pointed out that the skills are not exclusive to the classes, though.

So your class is still just your Ascendency and starting point on the passive tree....but the skills and equipment you use are always up to you!

I just started playing this month for the first time... I just got Summon Reaper and between that, raging spirits and the zombies and skeletons its a full blown horde. The new system looks awesome!

And keep this in mind "BOTH GAMES ARE FREE"

Ggg and larian are on a different level.

Might be my most anticipated game currently. This PoE 1 League slapped hard as well, I rarely make it to maps these days yet I still find myself logging in weeks into the league. Makes me thrilled to think about PoE 2 and just how much better its going to be at a base level, not to mention how its going to play out long term.

I just want POE2 to be easier to understand than the first one. And less crap on the screen.

[flobba]

a big reason things went so well for PoE is that they dont do the pay to win crap

[MrSkeezymak]

Hopefully it isnt as new player unfriendly as PoE

i‘ve started with poe little over a week ago and i‘m so frustrated that i didn‘t pick it up sooner. it‘s such a great game and i absolutely love the controller support they added because it is now my most favourite game to play on my steam deck. can’t wait for poe2 <3

I haven't had the time to put into POE recently that I used to but the fact that I've been playing on and off for 10+ years and still love thee game says a lot. It's kind of funny because when it first came out D3 fanboi's used to call it a dead game in Global chat, POE on steam averages more players than 3 and 4 combined. Looking forward to POE2 when it drops even if I won't be able to no life it.

I don't even play ARPG's, but this looks damn good

[odjob]

The thing that POE does so well is giving the feeling of power to players.
There is absolutely no game that give that feeling. It could be considered its biggest flaw too, power creep, but I don't mind it that much.
If POE2 is more accessible to a bigger audience, that could be the ARPG of the decade, and I hope it will be amazing, just for the GGG, because there are passionnate and good devs.

I wasn't that hyped for PoE2 until now! I always loved that you can play so many builds in PoE and now it seems, they multiply it by 10.
The shop policy is also very, very nice. Haven't seen such a cosumer friendly move for more than a decade.

[jxpwn]

I'm worried about how hype everyone is for this game and no one has really even got their hands on it yet.
I'm gonna play it, and find out how good it is, but I'm not going to let their marketing team get my emotions up about how good the game "will" be.
Usually I'm okay with being hyped up for a game and I hope this game is a 10/10, but there's so much blind hype for this title it just worries me for the community, that's all.
Stellar video, as always. Thanks for always being a positive pillar in the community, friend.

Brilliant overview of what we know Force! So glad you're excited for the sequel to a game so many of us have loved for years.

GGG is one of the best examples of how a smaller studio can output way more than a much larger studio like Blizzard. They probably aren't bogged down in endless bureaucracy, meetings about meetings and other meaningless timewasting crap. It honestly feels like one PoE developer can get way more done than 3-4 D4 developers in the same amount of time.

[foamslinger]

so nice to see a game that seems like the Devs dont hate the players
