    The Diablo-like game we needed but do not deserved.
    Graphic - really good, but animation a little bit unpolished
    Gamplay - everything you would expect from aRPG
    Story - quite good

    This is the best in its class, and with continuing support, it will remain so. An upcoming sequel will help alleviate the feature bloat of such a long lifetime for a diverse and comprehensive gameplay loop with as many extended layers of complexity as one could only dream of. This game will live on in the history of video games as an exemplar of a genre it helped cultivate into maturity.

    Brutal. Dark. Complicated.
    It's Diablo II on steroids, in a good way. If you feel that Diablo III dissapointed you, this game is for you.

    Best ARPG on the market for years. PoE 2 will be much better than Diablo 4 too and still hold the #1 spot for sure. A downside is that if you want to push the game to its limits you have to use 3rd party sites/software/sources for information and stuff but I guess if you are that type of hardcore gamer it won't be a big deal anyway.

    - The end game has an insane amount of choice and content.
    - There is also more content being added and older content being updated.
    - The class and skill diversity is wild.
    - Contrary to popular opinion. The game isn't really that hard to get into, the only drawback is the amount of 3rd party sites which may be necessary to follow a build.
    - The work and research you put into a build is rewarded by the outcome of said build.
    - There are millions of different items, and hundreds of different uniques,
    - It is easy to see what is happening on the screen.

    Cons

    - Some rare enemies can be more problematic than unique bosses. This is especially the case in newer leagues as they have not been balanced. Some of the rares can often kill even the tankiest of builds.
    - Some affixes are poorly balanced and over-tuned. For example, corrupting blood has always been a strong affix and even has certain builds' attempt to counter this by making themselves immune to the affix over playing through it.
    - The lighting in the Sirus fight is abysmal and this is not helped by the floor textures used which overlap with his abilities.    … Expand

    Great game and extremely alt friendly, though no in game auction house means trading is a huge pain in the ass. If you're into the economy side of things like me, that means its iron man mode only or just expect to never do the highest level content as no one actually trades what they list on trading sites.

    Despise I haven't touched endgame yet, I've played for few weeks this game and I managed also to get past through the huge lagspikes that the game had.

    First things first, I applaud the developers for making a very deep game: each class, which are very well detailed in stats and mechanics, have their own passives distributed in a way very similar to FFX spheregrid (basically it's one    Despise I haven't touched endgame yet, I've played for few weeks this game and I managed also to get past through the huge lagspikes that the game had.

    First things first, I applaud the developers for making a very deep game: each class, which are very well detailed in stats and mechanics, have their own passives distributed in a way very similar to FFX spheregrid (basically it's one huge grid that every class share, but each class starts from a different position), while skills are instead splitted from the character under the form of orbs that you attach to weapons and armor (same for other types of orbs). Each skill orb also level up on their own (which I think is up to 20) and it's pretty easy to level them since you only have to kill enemies and grind like crazy, without mentioning that it only matters on your stats in order to use them: this means you can potentially equip any kind of skill or armor, all depending on your 3 stats (strength, intelligence, dexterity). However, considering you don't upgrade your stats with points, you'll most likely focus on one set of skill.

    Secondly, the game also well implemented into the online, with villages and such as hubs to gather your teammates, and with a strange mechanic of not having gold in order to trade because you use items (orbs mostly) in order to buy or sell items, same thing with other players: I see this is a way of avoiding goldsellers and I'm not entirely sure how this works yet, since I hardly trade with other players.

    Lastly the game plays very smoothly controls so good, with also a good amount of challenge in some sections that really pays off: items are as usual are divided in colors for their quality and the areas are big enough for letting you do some exploration (and more grinding).

    And all this is in a good F2P game, with basically nothing to upgrade your stats: it's only cosmetics and skins, which is admirable considering almost everything is open and there's almost no limitations to anything as far as I could see.

    Which brings me to this point: this game should have been a retail from the start

    The cash shop hasn't much to offer and annoyingly you can only play online, despite you'll ONLY see other people on villages, wondering why this isn't retail instead so we could also play offline, especially because of immense lags that still happens whenever I play alone.

    Also, for this next part I have to mention Torchlight 2 which is another indie ARPG, and the reason of mentioning is because PoE is considered highly complex and deep, while it's not: the huge grid in PoE is all show considering you'll just want to maximize by going one path, (while TL2 has far more depth with each stats giving different stats all together), without forgetting that each class in PoE, despite having different starts, they'll basically get passive boosters for damage and extra stats for their main stats, which only really determines their armor, some skills they can use and their weapons (which is the same in TL2, except it also grants additional stats such as critical chance, health, armor, weapon damage, magical damage, etc)

    It's also true that both games offer various way to play your class by giving them different weapons and using a different path in the grid...but in PoE (IN MY OPINION) feels less rewarding since you basically gain nothing but passive bonuses, and for skills you either buy them or find them during your dungeon runs or quests, and they are many to find which is a nice touch (while for TL2, at each level up you gain 5 stat points and 1 skill points, plus 1 from fame, to use on either your active or passive spells, for a total of 30 unique skills for each class).

    My main motive of using TL2 as a comparison is also because people believe this game being the best ARPG ever, but it's not. It's good, yes, and very well made, and has some features that TL2 could have used from this game too (the online is better implemented in PoE), but feels unrewarding at times and less complex than TL2, an indie (retail) ARPG game, almost beating him on every level (almost: TL2 hasn't the same graphics and it's much easier to play).

    But to keep it simple, PoE is a great F2P ARPG game, with interesting new ideas that aren't always good and some mechanics that aren't as complex as some other games have done, and I will happily suggest this game to whoever wants a good action rpg game that has well made f2p mechanics, with the only flaws (IN MY OPINION) are the less rewarding mechanics in the level up, massive grindings for both you and your skills, with the latter being completely separated from the class itself, and and a lack on complexity that can be a benefit or not.

    Give it a look as it's a great f2p gane, especially if you already downvoted my review, and see for yourself instead: you'll be either immensively satisfied, or terribly disappoi    … Expand

    In terms of getting the best value for money, this is probably as good as it gets, since path of exile offers a game compelling enough to rival triple A titles of the same genre, and completely free.

Tackling the gameplay aspect,In terms of getting the best value for money, this is probably as good as it gets, since path of exile offers a game compelling enough to rival triple A titles of the same genre, and completely free. Upgrades obtained through donations and microtransactions are purely aesthetical and have no advantage over regular gear, so..... that means it's really "free". Tackling the gameplay aspect, it plays really well, it offers deep character development via the huuuuge passive skill tree (a la Final Fantasy X) and a wide array of active skill gems, wich level up as you pass by wrecking havoc. This is one of the defining features of how skills are handleled to you in this game, in other games "skill gems" offer passive bonuses, while active skills are gained through character leveling via skill tree; Path of exile goes the other way around, giving the skill tree purely passive bonuses, while active skills must be earned through gems obtained quests or random drops, and socketed into specific gear in order for it to be active. It's a bold strategy, and one that may not convince a lot of players, but it's functional overall, and even more importand: it's addictive and engaging (the only quality action RPGs need to succeed).
    Character classes are interesting, they have a particular charisma, being gritty and enchanting at the same time, with fancy names like Maraunder (instead of the generic title of barbarian), Shadow, etc. 6 initial clases that are aligned to 1 or 2 of the main stats: Strenght, Dexterity and Intelligence. All classes have access to all passive skills in the skill tree, with the only difference being the point at which they start. That means that role playing is not completely restricted, with options for melee characters to have magic and viceversa. It's up to you to decide if this feature is a strong point because of the freedom it provides, or a weak spot in how it turns things a little bit generic.
    Graphically, the game is the bomb. It hits all the aesthetic and enviromental points that made Diablo II the dark gothic RPG it was, and in that sense, Path of Exile looks more Diablo than Diablo III will ever look like. Enemy design is good, although they tend to recicle previous models, and levels are really big and intrincate.
    The only gripe I have with the game is the lag....... it's really bad at some points. I didn't take into account this factor into the score, since I'm not sure if the problem is their server or my connection, but you can be certain I'm not alone in this one. The game has a bad tendency to "ultra" lag, making an unexpected pause for a few minutes, after which you find yourself killed by a miriad of enemies that weren't there before. But the most annoying tendency is the fact that the game just disconects every once in a while; log in again and you'll find yourself in the last town you visited, with your current progress in a dungeon ranging from partially to completely lost. In the best case scenario, the map will stay the same (enemies killed, chests looted, map discovered) and you'll just have to walk to where you left off; in the worst case scenario, the map will be randomized and EVERYTHING...... map discovery, enemy position and loot will be respawned like if you'd never set foot on the place, which is complete BS. If it happens to you in a multilevel dungeon prepare to ragequit, you've been warned!!
    This last aspect might deduct points for some of you, but in my view this game is a work of love, an art piece made for the sake of art, not gain. It deserves to be celebrated even in it's excentricities and faults, and in that regard it's one of the rarest gems, even if it's not the most polished one.    … Expand

    Great ideas abound in this game. Lots of fun (for a while) and ran flawlessly in my case. Graphics were polished, music and sound were great.

Loved the skill tree; something like 1200 nodes of incremental skill/attribute boosts... obviously designed with the long, long term player in mind. The long term play is what starts detracting in my view, but keep in mind it's FTP so what do you expect. Before I forget, I will state that this game runs like a top. I suffered a few fatalities due to "lag" issues, but I have had those in just about every server-based game I have ever played. Not a real problem for me anyway. Life of a gamer and all that....

    I took one character to level 45 and "finished" the game as it stands now. While I had a blast in the 3 weeks or so I played it, I found that sifting through the literally thousands of pieces of gear that would drop in a night's gaming got to be slightly tedious. Also tedious to me is the prospect of going through the gameworld again, albeit at a harder difficulty. I've seen the 3 act gameworld, found it uninspired if really nicely rendered, and it holds no more charm for me somehow.

    The characters on the other hand I found to be a little more imaginative, eclectic if goofy in spots, but altogether decent and interesting.. The mobs were well thought out, nicely rendered for the most part, and even beautiful art in a few cases. In my case, it gets kinda stale after slaying 1,000 identical mobs in 5 minutes, most of whom will drop some utterly useless gear. I had to laugh when I found a piece of armor that actually increased the amount of loot by 11 percent. I distinctly remember thinking to myself
    "My God, who in blazes would actually want to look through more of this stuff?"

    Maybe I'm looking for something a little more cerebral in a game..... I'll shorten this up a bit by saying that POE is a very well made ARPG with enough fresh ideas to keep you interested for a while. It IS a slasher, AND a grinder make no mistake, if you're looking for a classic story or real rpg elements you'll find hints of them here but not much more. This game is about combat, levelling, and wanting to invest the endless hours into multiple builds of your character. In the area of build customization, I will state that it has the most advanced skill tree that I have ever seen. The amount of work that went into this facet alone must be staggering. This would be better suited to you if you are into hardcore gear swapping, trying out builds and kits, and grinding... I had good fun on the first play through, but can't seem to get interested in another go, regardless of the fact that GGG has innovated again in their of randomization of map orientation so that at least you get a different physical perspective on the 3/4 iso field whenever you replay a map.

    Final thoughts: Great innovation in a few areas, lots of fun, EXCELLENT coding, I feel that if GGG can expand the best ideas in this game the sky is the limit. As it stands, this level of quality in a ftp game is almost unheard of. If it were a standalone retail game the first 40 hours of gameplay would get a 70 something from me, because I just don't get into the hack n' slash that much, but seeing as how it's free and I had a really good time for a couple weeks I'm going into the upper 80's.

    The lasting impression I get is that GGG has enormous potential and some serious game creation juice to pull this off. I will be listening hard for news of their next venture, if only because my personal taste is not along the lines of staying with POE. They currently have "it". These guys could make a Baldur's gate for the next generation, and coming from me that's saying a lot. There are improvements that could be made, but there is some really good stuff here.

Having a clear idea about what you want to build and what gear you need is also required to make it to the end game. The currency system is pure bartering, making selling and trading items a bit of a guessing game. Online play can also have lag, especially at peak times.

    POE can be difficult, you have to make correct decisions regarding your character build. If youre looking for an optimal character your first play through, you may want to read up on game mechanics and builds. Also, at some point you're probably going to have to do some trading if you want great gear.

    Desync is unfortunately an issue. Occasionally the game client and the server don't communicate correctly. This did not effect me at all, for some people it's a legit hindrance.

    It's free to play with a cash shop full of cosmetic stuff and frills. You can't pay for more powerful characters, or max level characters, or experience boosts, or any of that garbage. The game is not pay to win.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poe is classic "diablo game".Even its lack atmosphere from D1 it still offers a good game experience lets say differently.I have to admit developers for progressive aproach to the game. Well its not like starcraft 1 and 2 - u dont give new units graphics and thats it .. Sure its diablo clone - but with some new brave ideas, new gameplay systems.. lets see pluses and minuses of the game

    + Character customization it was never so complex in any other diablo clone game - skill three is so huge u will **** bricks and is biggest in diablo clone games so far.
    + Skills as gems this system is really revolutionary you can create your own skills - with complex skill tree that`s really kick-ass!
    + Currency system and crafting with orbs
    + it`s free completely
    + Constant updates from game developers side
    + Race modes where u can compete with other players usualy who gets faster experience

    - Desinc problem , well this is one of big issues of the game, you can die easy because of this lag and thats big problem for players who want to play hardcore mode
    - Leveling skills dosent feel rewarding especialy for weapon skills
    - Monsters dosent have a personality usualy u see them as hit points to get rid off no special tactics is needed maybe little on highier difficulties.Also u have to face skelletons just with more hit points and damage even in act 3, well thats quite bad cause u want that feeling what will be there when beat boss at end of act 2 and u see skeletons hmm...

    As somebody who doesn't have much interest in aRPGs. I can say with 100% certainty that this is one of the best. And since Path of Exile is free to play I feel like I should start off by saying there is no "pay to win" in this game. The only things you can buy related to your account would be: 1. More character slots.(and you start of with 24 of them). And 2. Stash tabs to store more lootAs somebody who doesn't have much interest in aRPGs. I can say with 100% certainty that this is one of the best. And since Path of Exile is free to play I feel like I should start off by saying there is no "pay to win" in this game. The only things you can buy related to your account would be: 1. More character slots.(and you start of with 24 of them). And 2. Stash tabs to store more loot in, and you start with 4 of those.

    I paid to get into the closed beta long ago and I am pleased to say that I haven't felt even a teensy bit of regret, the massive passives tree adds so much to the game, as well as the skill system. It is a blast to try out different combinations of skill gems and support gems.

    Trading in this game however, still leaves a lot to be desired, as most of the trade channels move so fast it makes it difficult to keep track of/find things that may be worth while. And it doesn't help when somebody decides it is a good idea to show off a whole inventory worth the items.

    As mentioned in my first segment, there is no pay to win, there is however, some really high prices for somethings. Stash tabs are pretty useful but are very pricey too, at the current prices, a single tab will cost about $3, or you could buy 6 of them for $15. Most of the legitimately interesting cosmetics are also very pricey. But I suppose this is better than, lets say, making one pay for accessing content, or making certain characters paid only.

    My only other major complaint is desync. and that without knowing you can suddenly end up in a horde of mobs a whole screen over, which means if you want to make a build that trades health/defence, for MAXIMUM POWER, you will need to play very carefully, or just not play the hardcore leagues entirely.

    Well I think that about sums up the major complaints, which when you compare it to the rest of the game, dwarf in comparison to how much fun you can have in this game for the low, low cost of absolutely nothing.

    Seriously, if you liked Diablo 2, go and download Path of Exile right now.    … Expand

    É um bom jogo, realmente da pra se diverte com muito prazer proporcionando muitas horas de pura diversão ao jogador, não mais que umas 20 hs, mas o jogo da o que falar, experimente e comprove, a unica coisa que infelizmente não tem no jogo, é o idioma Brasileiro, não precisaria dublagem, mas só a legenda. afinal nem todos falam inglês.

    PoE is a fantastic ARPG, if you're a fan of the genre (especially D2/TQ) I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it. It also has the best example of fair F2P, you can only purchase Stash space and Cosmetics. Nice graphics, good music I highly recommend it.

    This Free 2 play game consists of some excellent and simple gameplay, that will without a doubt keep you entertained for hours on end. It is also worthy of mentioning the game's original skill tree, which lets you decide however you want to play your character. It's a great game that i worth mentioning and free stuff is always a joy.

    Made an account just to post a hopefully honest review for people. Tl;dr Fun endgame, many specs to choose from, awful retro graphics, dsyncing deaths like no other, constant bug fixes from devs and patches, overall great game 8/10.

    Path of Exile offers players a very diverse skill system in which I personally have not seen from another game. There are hundreds of ways to make a skill unique. For example, you can get a cleave gem and attach fire damage, frost damage, bigger cleave area and things like that. You can literally play thousands of builds in this game. However, there are only a few handful of really good builds and the rest will fall short when it matters.

    The graphics in this game are fairly bland, don't expect to see anything close to Diablo 3. The good thing about Path of Exile is that is sets you in a world riddled with dark and twisted creatures. You could say in actual visuals it is close to Diablo 2 (only 3D).

    The music in Path of Exile is overall a bit lackluster, don't expect anything fancy other then a repeating background tune that differ in each zone.

    Here is where Path of Exile really tops itself in my eyes as the best ARPG currently available. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic. Each monster pack you encounter can be easier or much more difficult than the last and the boss fights in the game are overall very challenging. Don't expect to play this game and mindlessly advance level to level, you will need to play fairly well verse some of the monsters/bosses.

    Path of Exile offers a very easy way to play with other players. Unlike Diablo 3, Torchlight and others out there, all you need to do is create a group and give it a message "Looking for more players for X" and the group fills very fast. There is also many global chat rooms inside the game such as trade chat, general chat and other things like what you would expect from more of an mmo.

    The combat in this game has some goods and bads. The combat mechanics in this game are very well made. In games such as Diablo 3, hits register milliseconds before the actual attack lands which leaves little room to outplay bad encounters. Whereas Path of Exile has a combat system so the hit registers as the monster actually hits you, this allows you to dodge attacks freely and in a way makes this game much smoother than most in this genre. The bad thing about the combat is you dsync VERY often. This will have you dying left and right and pulling your hair out wondering how you somehow teleported 15 feet back into the pack of monsters you just swiftly ran out of. This is probably the most frustrating part about this game and overall if you plan to play hardcore this can make it or break it for you.

    Overall, if you want to casually play a game and not dump tons of hours (roughly 20+) to start really enjoying what this game has to offer, then this probably is not the game for you as you will be left short in your characters builds or if you have to remake a character due to a bad build. As for the hardcore players, I personally think Path of Exile is the best ARPG game out for our kind.    … Expand

    Hack & slash games are addictive because they follow a simple formula: kill, kill and kill some more. Path of Exile is no different in this regard. During your quest in the perilous continent of Wraeclast you need to slay thousands and thousands of monsters but it never gets boring because there are a plenty of fresh ideas like the very vast skill system and barter-based economy that differentiate it from other similar games. But it's not a perfect game. The story is weak and the difficulty level is too low in the beginning. [Dec 2013]

    An exceptionally generous free-to-play action-rPG. What it lacks in punch it makes up for in depth and value for money.
