The highest praise I can give Path of Exile is it picks up where Diablo II left off, with deeper mechanics in the same flavor, and a much wider variety of gameplay, including an endgame so deep it makes the campaign seem like a tutorial for the true game (which it basically is!). The upcoming PoE2 will add a totally new campaign and fix a lot of longstanding issues, perhaps elevating PoE in the same way that D2 elevated the original Diablo.

The primary problem with Path of Exile is that it's hard to get into. I initially tried playing back in version 2.1.0, and I didn't even finish act one. I came back in 3.0.0, and I knew it was something special before I had even finished that same act. It just kind of clicked for me and I saw the possibilities.

And it's actually, truly free. I'd suggest you play through all the acts, and if you enjoy yourself by the end of it maybe throw GGG a few dollars if you decide to continue playing into the endgame.
