Compare LE and POE2 discussion forums - let alone the official POE2 forums - and you can quickly identify which crowd is the sane one. POE2 folks are bitter and frustrated. I don't blame them, I feel the same to some extent. The game has been in development for 4ish years and many feel that they are not getting what they anticipated joyfully.

Try to ignore the crowd, especially the toxic one. The game is still rough, but it's Early Access and patch 0.2 indicates that we are still a long time away from its final shape. Considering that, brace yourself for some frustration (e.g. trials, loot, ...) and enjoy the parts that already deliver now. I dislike the current direction and hope it will change. Hard to say if it will though. And I still play, alternating with LE, hoping for both succeed and bring fun times.

Mostly adult babies getting mad over some nerfs, a balanced game isn't something they want. Happened to a lot of games lately, Helldivers, The First Descendant and so on.

If anything it got disproportionately too little bad reviews. Most negative reviews have significantly more hours played in the game then most positive that are from new accounts.

You not liking the results or agreeing with the majority don´t make it fake, review bombing, etc etc, just an extremely childish and pathetic mindset.

If we remove all the low hours played reviews from players not even finished campaign yet, the game would be closer to 90% negative.

Cope more.

Review bombing an EA game spitting dummies out of the crib

Ppl want 1button map zooming, but refuse to play PoE 1. Review bombing is their way to force devs into turning PoE2 to PoE1.

People who say this have no idea lol. PoE2 is the type of game Chris always wanted. Are people not aware of Ruthless? It really shows that so many people weren't around for early PoE1. PoE1 ended up all zoom zoom brainless, but that wasn't the original intent.

Normal players are not happy with all the ridiculous nerfs the game got.

Characters feel slow, heavy, and weak.
Enemies can easily outrun you, swarm you, and stun-lock you not letting you do anything but mash the roll button trying to get out. Not that the roll helps though, you still get hit during rolling and you can't push enemies away if they are your own size and up.

Player attacks do very little damage; you end up finding a couple of skills that do the most damage and end up spamming those attacks to clear common mobs but you keep hitting and hitting the enemy and it takes too long for them to go down.

Maps are huge and doing so little damage to enemies make them tedious and annoying.

Players end up using specific builds to maximize damage; if you try to run your own custom builds then you are stuck at very low pacing; assuming that your custom build can even survive.

The only people happy with the nerfs are those who enjoy sabotaging themselves and those who can play the game 20+ hours a day.

Negative reviews were earned.

Long story short: PoE1 players wanted PoE2 to be like PoE1. GGG doesn't want that, because PoE1 isn't going anywhere, and GGG wants PoE2 to be different from PoE1, because we already have more than enough zoom-zoom ARPGs, where you kill entire map in few seconds. As result, PoE1 players got angry and went to review bomb the PoE2.

And I came to play PoE2 exactly because it is very different from PoE1 (yeah, I dislike PoE1 very much - my highest level character is level 25 there and I created it during early beta times - PoE1 just not my cup of tea).

Review bomb is when it’s unjustified
This is not a review bomb

[RavenousMonk]

Because the game sucks. Instead of creating something new they want to copy yet another game, elden ring, and think people didn't have enough of it so we have to endure through pain like the masochists who work at GGG. They're probably cucks. Trade system is garbage and out dated and a waste of time, crafting is garbage, 90% of the skills are unusable, 90% of loot is unplayable, and as if it wasn't enough they decided to make the game 'slower' by giving you 2 blue items when you kill the main boss of ACT I. No death logs, no logs at all for that matter, of rolls, of anything, so you can make your character better and understand your weaknesses, 4 months since launch and a lousy patch that promised a lot but everything got worse from performance to server issues, like... I doubt this game will ever be released or will be substantially better than this. I don't see it.

You gotta be at least a bit mentally ill to talk about a balanced game and POE 2. May I suggest go outside and get some sun? That lack of vitamin d is obviously messing with your ability to think.
