'Path of Exile 2' is inspired by 'Diablo II' but brings refreshing new ideas to the mix
has long been considered the gold standard for fantasy dungeon crawlers, and is generally thought of as one of the best games ever made. Choosing from multiple dark fantasy classes, players are tasked with killing countless armies of demonic creatures. The gameplay loop,— you’re constantly chasing the next spell to unlock or a new armor piece to replace current gear and grow stronger.
There have been over 30 leagues since 2013, and they have all differed from one another substantially. If you jump intotoday, you’re bound to stumble upon a roguelike mode, a collection of in-game cards to find, a farm harvest system, an increasingly harder dungeon-crawling minigame, and even literal heists where you band together with hired thieves.
The dodge roll ties the new movement together nicely, and it’s especially welcoming when using a controller to play on PC or consoles. The developers have also added new skills related to the dodge roll, such as the ability to leave behind an illusory copy of your character to act as a decoy, which make the new mechanic feel essential to the modernized gameplay the sequel implements.
In short, once players are done with the first run of the initial three campaign acts, they unlock a higher difficulty to replay said acts and hit the current level 65 cap. Once a character reaches that milestone, the game unlocks access to the endgame.The studio estimates that first run through the current story acts should take around 25 hours. It’s worth mentioning that, while the full game will eventually be free-to-play, the supporter pack needed to play in early access is priced at $30.
