you get 2 orbs in front of your face, game design which deeply resonates with my world view

usually i find a million flaws, but not in this one, not today, PoE's design is quite genius

it is simply fun / varied / long game to play, if you compare to D2(R) it's hopelessly outdated, while all the problems are fixed here

what were dumb class limits is made free for creativeness here - this is fine for casuals and a massive playground for total tryhards as well (though yes it is super complex eventually, and silly choices can be made)

apparently people play forever and often anew in even brief challenge leagues - which means it is fun to restart your progress, which can hardly be said elsewhere

it is an ACTION rpg and that means you have to dodge stuff, even as a mage - boss fights are intense - if played too dumb, you may die in literal tutorial start map, it stays freshly challenging

while it may have mmo-tier features - it is mostly played solo anyway (played some of ancient early access and seen a 2018 review - they'd note server lags, but now i haven't seen them and ping is better than in shooters)

the sole flaw to think of is fundamental - PoE must be the best time killer of all, even the greatest games could be barely capable of that, especially over years; i was amazed 10+ years ago and it still is amazing
