    I have also played the PC version, but I have always been a fan of playing these ARPG's on console because when it's done right an ARPG feels like a 90's neo geo arcade game fight em up/shoot em up. That's why I loved Diablo 3 on PS4 better then the PC version. Well, worry no more becuase Path of Exile on the Xbox One, I can tell you, has been done damn right.

It's so much fun running around with my ranger shooting every thing and the Xbox one joypad feels like a dream. Now some are complaining that inventory management is more annoying with a joypad, and they are right, but it's not as dramatic as some are making it out to be, and you'll get used to it soon enough.

    Finally, unlike with D3 you get the full experience in the console version including multiplayer without duping and cheating that went on in D3. That fact alone and the fact that Path of Exile is a solid game on its own makes PoE Xbox One the new king of console ARPG's.

    Having played the pic version a couple of years back I found myself looking forward to this console version! And I must say I am living it! It is f2p The way it should be done no pay to win items here just cosmetics! If you lived diablo 2 you will find a lot to like here! It is not perfect , the close camera angle takes getting used to and the loot pick up can be bothersome at times but itHaving played the pic version a couple of years back I found myself looking forward to this console version!

Big thumbs up to grinding gears for this descent port!! Expand

    great game, made for hardcore players with a dark environment, difficult bosses and a complete and well-balanced skill system, a huge passive skills tree

    A great action-RPG - a few slight tweaks to the formula could see it become utterly essential. [Nov 2017, p.78]

    I’ve been having a great time with PoE, and it’s fast become my go-to when I need to get in a rewarding grind. The Xbox One version may be a little late to the party, but it was absolutely worth the wait. This fantastic game takes the best of the genre and propels them to impressive new heights.

    Without question, Path of Exile is a great, if not one of the greatest, values for dollar you can find on the Xbox platform at this very moment. Grinding Gear Games has demonstrated that you don't need to spend $60 and up on a game that is going to be shelved in a matter of weeks as you wait for more content to arrive. Despite a few hiccups, Path of Exiles is a pure joy to play, and with a quality microtransaction system in place (Editors Note: I know, who knew we'd say something like that), it's worth every single penny to play this game.
