Is Path Of Exile 2 worth it

[u/Hour_Row_2193]

Now I have play Path Of Exile 2 during its free to play that just ended and quite Like it however I liked more my steam deck then on my PC the performance wasn't the best on the steam deck but still I liked it.

I heard the should ne getting the green checkmark for the steam deck this month if that's true them will get but I'm fully sure.

Are there another top-down games Like it that should play I played Hades and Diablo 4 but are any otjera that should consider playing.

Poe2 is fun until you realize you have to go through a long campaign every season that is the same.

[u/ToxicDumptaker → u/Snowbunny236]

This is the only problem I have with the game as well. It’s so much fun once you can get over this hurdle. Problem is it’s like a 20 hour hurdle minimum

[u/Exact-Craft6506 → u/ToxicDumptaker]

You can get though it in like 5 hours if you're good enough (I'm not tbf)

[u/Vxyl → u/Snowbunny236]

Uh, the game is about doing the same things over and over again. Kill monsters, get loot, numbers go up. Repeat.

A brief campaign every 4-ish months isn't going to kill you if you actually enjoy that core gameplay loop.

[u/Snowbunny236 → u/Vxyl]

Dude the campaign takes at least around 20 hours. Every season. And doesn't change. It's garbage to have to ALWAYS repeat that. At least in d4 you can skip and level other ways.

as someone with 600h and counting I would recommend the game ofc.
They are trying to work on performance and getting steam deck verified but I haven't heard it being in a month.
They are releasing 1.0 in December and the game will become free to play. So thats one option, but if you buy it now you also get that amount in the In-game Store for stash tabs which are really nice.

If you want early access it’s 15$ right now which is half off. Worth getting if you enjoyed it for a discount or wait until 1.0 when it will be free

I played 30 hours for the first time during this season. Loved it on my PC and Xbox X. On my legion go 1 however, it looks and runs awful. Which makes me not want to play it on my handheld.

[u/TimeLavishness9012]

It's a very repetitive game at the end of the day. I love it. I'll grind a bunch every season and put it down when I feel done. Always something new to learn. Big number go up.

[u/ItsmeFizzy97]

No. Wait for 1.0. This league is plagued with bugs and last league i could not even start the game for some reason. Wait for them to fix the bugs, I cannot stress this enough

[u/BigDadNads420]

For ARPGs its very much just path of exile vs everything else. Both POE 1 and 2 are more or less the gold standard for the type of ARPG each is trying to be.

[u/jshttr → u/BigDadNads420]

Diablo 2 is the gold standard imo

[u/LaundryNinja84]

Yes. It’s very good.

[u/hendrix320]

Last Epoch, Grim Dawn, and POE1 are the other big name ARPGs

Idk how well POE2 would do later in the game on steam deck though

[u/Farts_McGee → u/hendrix320]

I love grim dawn
