One thing to keep in mind whilst playing this game is that it is still in early access and thus, not complete. We don't yet even have all the classes unlocked so to judge completely is quite difficult, since it is a work in progress. But what is there is done very well in my opinion. The game is visceral, graphically quite stunning with combat feeling impactful. The campaign arc i enjoyed, albeit unfinished. Out of the two POE games from GGG, i enjoyed the POE 2 campaign way more than POE 1. Despite my Steam account only showing 41 hours, i switched to using GGG's own client for both games a while ago since, for me, both feel more performant doing so. I actually have close to 1000+ hours in each game. The not so enjoyable: One thing to note however, and this is what annoys me about GGG, and also to iterate that this is my own perspective as a player as i see it and how it makes me feel. They, GGG, tend to favour end-gamers, those who like to min-max their characters over casual players, and this is blatantly obvious with how the loot drops have been programmed to work in this game. You can roll a character and for that run end up being extremely lucky with currency / gear drops. You can roll another character and have the inverse happen where your drops-luck tanks to the point of frustration. This essentially soft-locks you from progressing in any meaningful way and forces you to grind (pun intended) previous completed levels to power up your character for the upcoming harder content. This, in turn, actively slows down your character from progressing normally. This is one of the most agregeous and infuriating aspects which exemplifies how GGG truly perceive their player base. And you can defend this all you want but, in my view GGG do not respect their player's time enough. They want you to grind, really grind for minimal reward, until you hit end-game. And it's this kind of thinking that alienates a potentially larger player base from engaging in the product. This stems from the fact they, GGG themselves are gamers and are developing a game 'they' want to play which isn't a bad thing per say but, i do think it blinkers the company when their choices instantly alienate those of us that do not have the free time to dump thousands and thousands of hours into a title to feel like you are not being rewarded enough for your efforts. In fact, sometimes it feels like you are being punished for progressing which i find very distasteful. Almost sadomasochistic in effect. However, with all that said, if you enjoy arpg's and want a somewhat challenging experience i would still recommend this game. It does scratch an itch that other titles fall short on. I just hope GGG try in the future to think about the choices they make from outside of their own personal bias and maybe we'll end up with something really special!

I spent 200 hours theory crafting, trading, and fine-tuning what’s probably the most expensive build in the game. Every support gem perfectly linked, every stat optimized, every passive point blessed by Chris Wilson himself. Then I got one shot by a tiny green ball a random crab farted out after it died. Balance is a myth. Defense layers are an illusion. RNG is my religion. Every patch note feels like a personal attack, every map feels like a prank, and every death feels like a TED Talk on hubris. But somehow… I keep coming back. 10/10, would die confused again.

I play POE 2 with my son. Though computer games get a bad rap, I find it’s a great way to spend time with him. Zach is in his 30s and I am so old my number is unlisted. The graphics and gameplay remind me of when I was in my 30s and he was just a teen and we played Diablo 2. Together Zach and I run through the forest, explore castles, fight side-by-side against spiders, wolves and witches. We plan, plot, and share whatever loot we find, helping each other, gearing up to take on bosses like the Executioner, Putrid Wolf, or the Viper. Zach is 10x better at the game than I will ever be. The advantages of youth. My clicking finger ain’t what it used to be, neither is my brain. They just don’t move as fast as my son’s. I admire his ability to multi-task far better than I can. My monk Euryanax is not as quick as his sorceress Social Security. She sprints ahead of me through the Lost City of Keth, but when we’re battling the Titan, Euryanax is on the front line ringing his bell, while Social Security stands behind me throwing her sparks. Zach and I play hardcore. When you die, you whine, you curse. I spent a week leveling my poison arrow ranger Ariatozah, only for the boss in the Azog Bog to lay her into a muddy grave. My warrior, Idanthyrus, got mauled by the Wolf at the end of Act One. Our witches Epinine and Terminate#5 got simultaneously one-shotted by the Titan. When I lose an HC character I’m depressed for ten minutes, then create a new one. Where Zach has gotten his monk Splutter to level 75, my highest HC character, a lightning arrow ranger named Maydes made it to 55 only to die at the hands of the Crowbell in Cruel. Have taken a softcore character into maps, but admittedly it’s not as much fun. Facing Jamanra at the end of Act Two or Doryani at the end of Act Three in hardcore is as thrilling as a roller coaster ride. You’re running, rolling, leaping, shooting arrows, tossing javelins, throwing sparks, swinging two-handed maces. At the end of a good fight, Zach and I can’t help but cheer. My heart is racing. That’s hardcore. With POE comes a thriving digital community. Streamers like Ziz, Raxx and Darth MT provide an important part of the POE 2 experience. We’ve both gleaned valuable information from them and sharing their YouTube videos becomes a part of the fun. Hats off to Grinding Gear Games. I appreciate how they’ve provided an entertaining, state-of-the-art ARPG game without the blatant money grab that so many companies succumb to. I like how accessible GGG is to the gaming community. It’s good to see the streamers interviewing designers like Jonathan and Mark and how they listen to their suggestions. GGG has been responsive to feedback and appears to be continually fine tuning everything from the spells to the monsters to the maps. You gotta respect any company that listens to their consumers and makes changes to improve their product. Kudos to them. Sorry I’m not listing my pros or cons about POE 2. The streamers have already done a 1000x better job than I can at explaining the game’s intricacies, of which there are many. In that regard, POE 2 is not simple. It’s a thinking person’s game.

Great game so far, but the trading needs an overhaul. It is time for some type of auction house / automated merchant system where trading can done while we're offline, instead of spending all of our time browsing the site and trading.
