How is this very positive?

I didnt play POE but this shouldnt be a must be to play and enjoy this game.

My problem with this game is not only the difficulty (imo the game is in the beginning way to hard), Gearing feels rly bad. Ther is like 0 item drops... meele feels rly bad. no mobility skills to jump over mobs ... becase if you get swarmed you are just dead. Remove pls the auto aim.... I wana use my skills were my mouse is... imo mobs has to much hp.

Bosses and Boss fights are fun and challeging, I like that... but pls I want some cool drops or what ever.

edit:
Many people here getting me wrong and talknig only about the difficulty. Thats not my main problem. I palyed Dakr Souls 1-3 and I like to have a challenge. But in my opinionen the frist levels areas are a bit to hard.

My main problem is that maps are waaay to big, Boss fights are nice but if I fight the main act boss like for 10min and then get just some flask drops.. this feels rly bad. Just one yellow item for main act bosses thats all. I dont want to be showered with loot but I want mabye something cool or helpfull. In the end I just sell sell sell and try to snipe soemthing from the caba guy or shop...

Also I guess Im the only one with the auto aim problem that sometimes my skill is not there were my curser ist.

its a bit silly that people just respons with "well its a skill issue".
Well D4 late game sucks, I guess its a skill issue as well.

I dont even think the first bosses are hard at all. In fact I remember Hailrake in PoE 1 earlier on being even more dangerous and perma freezing you. Its not like its Invasion league tier bosses. I also dont understand at all how the big streamers can die to to like the first worm boss.

But I do agree that this is a much more CLUNKY game. Everything else I am enjoying. I dont mind the lack of loot too much...Just farm more in an ARPG. I like specifically that the EARLY game is harder. I am using the Crossbow weapons and I really dont like how you constantly have to reload it. That sums up in a nutshell what I dont like in PoE 2. In PoE 1 you would not have to "reload a weapon". What is worse is that I have just played a game called Kill Knight which is the exact opposite... Extremely fast but also smooth... But its not an ARPG. PoE 2 lacks SMOOTHNESS. Even the dashing/rolling with spacebar does not feel good compared to say Flame Dash in PoE 1.... Or teleport in Diablo 2 for that matter. It just doesnt FEEL GOOD.

I do think already that there are improvements over PoE 1 as well. I dont mind it being GRINDY or HARD in the beginning, its just simply that the combat is not as FUN... (I havent died yet so.) All my complaints are about the combat not being as good as PoE 1.

TLDR: The combat is CLUNKY and unsmooth. Everything else I am enjoying and I already have MANY things that I see as improvements over PoE 1. It is also possible that the crossbow and the skill im using results in it being even more slow, because you are just CONSTANTLY reloading the crossbow so much. Overall I do think it is a good game tho.

If they start giving you more gear/currency then the bosses lose all their "challenge" which to be fair isn't even a thing when you have actual gear for your level with decent rolls. This is why there is so little gear/currency dropping in the game.

this entire post reads like a massive "skill issue".

If stupid auto aim system and boring/uselles item drops are a skill issue, well tell me how to fix this.

What auto-aim?

Well yeah that's gonna happen.

PoE1 had a lot of people avoid it because it was "difficult and complex", so GGG marketed PoE2 as being easy for casuals to play with a deep endgame.

When a game is marketed as being easier and more accessible than it's predecessor game so casuals can play it too, it's no surprise that casuals tried it.

They just need to increase currency drops so people can craft more. Solves all the issues. And their stated goal is wanting people to craft more.

I played PoE a lot, others ARPGs too.
And PoE2 is awful.
I think those positive reviews are from Diablo haters or from tourists who played for few hours and happy because of pretty visuals.
PoE2 is basically a ruthless mode. Extremely slow and unrewarding.

OP it is an action rpg, you get a lot of crap before you get something good. It is supposed to be a challenge as well. D2 was not the easiest game when it came out and people figured out how to beat bosses and even rares. It is early access as well, lots of new stuff is going to come and of course give your feedback. GGG has almost always been good with feedback and expect a lot of changes before full release.

And return alts. And workbench. And buff minions, and cut HP of all mobs by a half.

By now there are only nerfs in patchnotes and any announcements like "We see the problem" or "We plan to do this and that (except nerfs ofc)".
And GGG never listens to feedback. They have a Vision. And this Vision is that the game should be a ruthless mode.

Worse, they're parasocial zoomers who think they're part of a clique because their favorite shill -- er "content creator" called it game of the century before they even played it. I think it's a fine game but it is extremely slow and I can't imagine slogging through this campaign multiple times, it also isn't even difficult it's just... slow. Unbearably slow. Also makes me seethe when I see swarms of enemies flying, zipping and teleporting around while I walk like I've just shat my pants.

The games amazing but I know let's circumvent the reviews page because it doesn't align with your views. Give me a break. L2Play and the game won't feel hard. Or do you need to go back to your mount in diablo4?

Nope, I played old school ARPGs. They weren't so slow, boring and unrewarding. Even Diablo 1.
It's not old school, it's just a bit prettier modern ruthless mode from PoE1.
