Path of Exile 2 Steam Charts & Stats

I am pretty pissed that they are playing games with their release date making it the same as Last Epoch developers. I think its dirty and expect better from GGG. If they are just going to turn into bullies and letting corporate greed dictate there actions then I wont support them.

Good fundamentals in EA. Very satisfying gameplay. Potential to surpass PoE1 in the future, but a long way to go. I Just wish they would treat it like Early Access and make changes immediately (nerf double herald, changes to towers, economy resets after duping exploits etc.) instead of waiting 3 months and making "new league". Even with it's flaws it's still 2nd best ARPG on the market (yes in EA) just behind it's predecessor.

Early access is early (alpha) access, but... 1) It's not really any different from POE1. It's basically exactly the same gameplay 2) It's still incredibly RNG dependent. Unless you're called "Elon". 3) The ascension trials suck completely. The honour system basically just randomises your build. You could be ready, or you might not be. Just depends what penalties roll. Even some "15 levels" beyond its base. It's going to be no from me unless they really make some effort to * Distinguish it substantially from POE1 * Provide some kind of last damage log. Dying almosts instantaneously without knowing why: might as well roll a dice every now and then and say "you died". Equally as useful.

horrible performance at high end PC's Crashes Crashes Crashes The last 2 days i cant even get ingame.....loading screen, crash and get me to desktop! BUT NO WORRIES FROM 4TH APRIL WE WILL HAVE RED ESSENCES <3

It’s still in early access, but man, this game’s got some serious potential. You’re thrown into a dark, gritty world that’s equal parts creepy and gorgeous. Combat’s a blast, it’s slower and more deliberate than the first game, so you’re dodging and weaving like it’s a Soulslike-Lite, but with that ARPG loot-chasing goodness. The skill tree is still Insanely huge but tinkering with builds is half the fun. Maps can feel like they drag on forever. Story’s your typical “evil’s corrupting everything” deal nothing groundbreaking, but the characters and creepy atmosphere keep it interesting enough. If you’re into deep customization and don’t mind a challenge, it’s a damn good time. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

Awesome game. I write this in early access. I cant point to any one reason why this game is so much better than other ARPGs I have played. It "feels better", the mob pacing, the inventory management, the epic skills and freedom in builds that actually work, the art and style, and maybe too many small superior features to competitors to list off. This system that lets you make builds makes me wish for it in every game. The combat is the meaning of the word addiction. Oh and I am a life long PC gamer so I can't believe I am going to say this BUT... its a super fun game to play with a xbox controller! I know blasphemy! but try it out lol Here is also the feeling that you can observe how POE 1 is handled to this day and bet this game has a bright future. Many other ARPGs either treat their game as something that deserves 1 or 2 expansions and than abandonment, or WORSE you can look at diablo 4 and see an objective failure that instead of working hard to win back their audience they doubled down at just a cash grab with a bad expansion to the fans that stayed. With how bad the diablo 4 launch was and how many people tried to get a refund and were denied that game needed to give out a FREE expansion not a high price one with pay to win extras and crazy up sell. POE 1 is still handled as something to service, add to, and never cash grab or pay to win, never abusing its fans.

It's early access so you have to overlook the missing campain acts and classes but what is here has been a lot of fun to play WASD controls in an ARPG really mades it feel fresh and the boss fights have been pretty fun (if somewhat frustrating at times)

Path of Exile 2 has completely captivated me with its depth and the richness of its gameplay. Right off the bat, the visuals impressed me—the environments are beautifully detailed, and the sound design really helps immerse you in the world. The game's atmosphere is gripping, especially with the incredible soundtrack that just adds to the intensity of exploration and combat. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is the switch to WASD controls, and I have to say, it makes a huge difference. The movement feels much more fluid, and combat has become more responsive and dynamic than the traditional point-and-click system. This shift really lets me focus more on strategic positioning and managing multiple enemies at once, which is a breath of fresh air. The game’s pacing is another highlight. The difficulty is definitely there, but it never feels unfair—just challenging. Every victory feels like a hard-earned reward, and that keeps me motivated to keep progressing. While some might find the curve steep, I actually love how it forces me to think critically and adapt my strategies. The character progression is also one of the standout features for me. The skill tree is huge and offers a ton of options to customize builds, making each playthrough feel unique. That said, the loot system can be a bit hit or miss. While it’s always exciting to find rare items, there are times when I feel like the loot just isn’t rewarding enough, which can lead to some frustrating stretches of progression where it feels like I’m not really making any headway. That said, when I do get a good drop, it feels like a true achievement. Multiplayer is a blast, especially when you’re coordinating with others. The difficulty definitely scales up in co-op play, which makes everything feel more intense and forces you to strategize more carefully. It’s definitely not a walk in the park when playing with others, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. There are a few areas I think could use some improvement. The combat can feel punishing at times due to unpredictable enemy attacks, and there are moments where I get caught off guard. Also, the endgame content, while promising, still feels a little underdeveloped. I’ve noticed that after a certain point, there’s not much in terms of substantial challenges or new rewards to pursue, which is a bit disappointing. Despite those few drawbacks, Path of Exile 2 is shaping up to be an incredibly rewarding experience. The foundation is solid, and the combination of strategic combat, character progression, and rich visuals makes it a standout in the action RPG genre. I’m really excited to see how the game evolves in future updates, and I’m definitely looking forward to what’s next. If you’re a fan of challenging, deep ARPGs, this one is definitely worth your time.

+ Cool campaign + Very solid gameplay, WASD controls feel very good + Fun boss fights - Progression is very slow - Lots of skills are useless and with time builds become 1 click spam - Impossible to test builds, no damage numbers for some reason - Haven't looted a useful item in my last 30h of play - Haven't found the keys to get my last 4 ascendency points while at level 73 - Endgame consists of exploring a random map for hours hoping to go in the right direction, looting nothing of value and losing exp on death, Very fun for the first 70 hours but then the progression (both of the story and the character) comes to a complete stop. Still recommend.

Gameplay is fun but just far too many layers of RNG without RNG forgiveness systems which makes the game feel like it just doesn't respect my time
