21.02.2017 PoE patch 3.0 gets 6 new acts for free, Diablo3 patch 2.5 gets more "Class balance meta changes". Wake up people! This is a good game and it's free. This is free content for the lovers of true ARPG games. Probably the only free game where the microtransactions are purely for vanity items. Try it and support it if you will enjoy it. P.S. Don't get scared by the skill tree. Can be overwhelming but it makes sense!

~ Free To Play ~ Good Storyline ~ Game Runs Well With Minimal Specs ~ Good Sized Player Base ~ Fast Servers ~ Nice Graphics Overall,this Game is a lot of fun and is a great Diablo 3 alternative.I give a lot of credit to the Developer for this Game,considering how great it is and it's free to play.There are Microtransactions in the Game,but you can still have an enjoyable experience without using them.

Feb. 2017

Great end game with challenging bosses providing satisfying season goals; Vivid economy based on crafting currency; Immense build variety; Dark and desolate theme with amazing art; Helpful, passionate and well humored community of players; Developers pumping content like crazy; Through constant consistent updates this game has definitely become a keeper.

Feb. 2017

Very good game. Its free to play so how cann you go wrong. Can get somewhat repetitive working your way through the acts multiple times. SMALL TIP FOR NEW PLAYERS: Pay attention to your skill tree. This is very important. If your skill tree is not optimized properly towards what types of spells and attacks you plan on doing then you will not be able to defeat the higher tier enemys and end up grinding HARD. Look up some good Path of Exile builds online or on youtube and follow those. You will not just have one character. And you will not play through the game just once. Everytime becomes more of a challenge to better your character. 10/10 would wash up on a beach again.
