In my opinion it is one of the best games ever made but the learning curve is so insane I don’t feel comfortable blanket recommending the game. Now it has been ~3 years since I last played and I heard the game is more beginner friendly these days but it still sounds rough.
I’d recommend the game if you have a friend or friends to play with or know someone who plays who can show you the ropes. If you want to be frustrated, but want a game with insane depth then go ahead and play it blind.
It’s one of those games that is designed and curated for the top 10 or maybe even 1% of players of the games. It’s crafted for the die hard fans. It’s an amazing game. But it’s also completely unapproachable for 99% of people.
Also, yes, I know Path of Exile 2 is more beginner friendly but IMO Path of Exile 2 isn’t as good as Path of Exile. At least for the time being.
Path of Exile is good for like, one season (do they still do seasons?). I got super into it for a while, then took a break, and when I came back I was forced to respec my character. So I dropped it for a while and came back and had to respec my character again. I won’t pick it up again because I don’t want to re figure out what the hell my build was and respec all over again just to pick up where I left off.
I think most players play the league which only lasts like 3 to 4 months before it resets and then move on to the next league. I think the most I’ve played is 3 leagues consecutively. When ai play though I go all out which is very disruptive to my life and it also gives me burn out so I then have to quit for a while.
