Early Access Review
since v0.2.0 (DotH)
unbalanced SLOGFEST against Bosses and no drops in general

there are 2 ~ 3 builds which work and literally one-shot everything in Endgame, and i am surely NOT going to copy-paste like a cheap & brainless "scriptkiddie" .. it is 100% unfun, waiting for next balance changes !!

2 ~ 3 builds only, but limitless combinations of passives and skills available .. non-sense !!

Highly Recommended
v0.1.0 ~ v0.1.0c

After playing about 30 hours in PoE2 so far, it is time for a quick review:

PoE2 is really polished for a Beta and Early Access version 0.1.0 !!
Way more stuff to come during development and balance changes !!
Therefore this PoE2 review becomes changed and updated in future ..

My personal downside on PoE2 is however:
  • if you die, map resets but keeps unrevealed
  • upon death champion mobs and all dropped loot is gone besides Quest Items
  • teleporting to base any minute to clear up inventory
  • no Open World, maybe it becomes implemented on a later stage
  • no deep crafting so far, maybe in a later major update
  • no in-game Market, yet ?
  • Nickname creating is limited to lower and upper case letters only ..

A huge "plus" in PoE2 is:
  • PoE2 rocks performance-wise, really optimized !!
  • in-game scenery and environment is harsh & brutal
  • Incredibly amazing music and environment of maps, details of units
  • Player characters are shared throughout all servers/gateways
  • No Server Shards, I have never been a fan of Server Shards
  • If you are common with (MMO)RPG and ARPG games, skilling in PoE2 is easy
  • Lots of Skillsets and complex combinations already present
  • You feel the LOVE which the Developers of GGG have used to create this game

I think I do have more hours into PoE2 already, than in D4 .. exclude my Closed Alpha/Beta hours for D4. All the player characters in D4 feels wrong .. even Diablo Immortal feels better if Diablo Immortal wasn't a pure Pay2Win game..


v0.1.0d
  • Market has been implemented by using various "Premium Stash Tabs"
  • "poe2.sale" leads to the official PoE2 "trade2" site to price check and to see listed items
