Path Of Exile

Myself and a few friends recently started playing Path Of Exile which is an Action RPG akin to the Diablo series. We started this shortly after the recent Diablo mobile announcement but for me it was unrelated - I wanted something new to play and probably would have started on PoE irrespective.

I like PoE. It is well structured, and I think making skills ‘gems’ which randomly dropped then slotting them is a nice approach. I’m don’t particularly like the colour-coding system for gems in items - this seems to be an annoying mechanism to make most items useless or expensive to correct.

The end-game mapping also looks to be pretty cool.

Thankfully I did some reading before I started - for new players finding a build is essential or you end up with a character which cannot complete some content.

Anyway, I’ll see how long this keeps me interested.
