Steam Review: Path of Exile 2 (8 Hours In, Will Update Later)

So far, Path of Exile 2 is an absolutely amazing sequel to the original. The mechanics have been streamlined in a way that makes it more approachable while still being incredibly satisfying. Be warned: it’s significantly harder than any campaign Path of Exile has offered before, but the challenge feels rewarding and well-earned.

Screen-clearing is fun, sure, but there’s something deeply satisfying about conquering genuinely difficult encounters. As someone with 25+ years of gaming experience, this is the first time in years I’ve felt truly excited about playing a game again. I can already see this becoming my go-to for years to come.

Yes, launch had a few hiccups, but that’s expected with something this ambitious. Relax, dive in, and enjoy—this is a fantastic game!
