As far as I'm concerned, I've finally beaten Path of Exile. I've been playing on and off since the start of Open Beta, but only just managed to finish Merciless difficulty.
I really like many things about POE. The aesthetic, the huge variety of builds you can try, its just generally a lot of fun to play. At least, until you start getting deeper into it and the leveling slows way down, gear upgrades become incredibly rare, and monsters start hitting like a truck.
See, GGG are all about this online economy thing. They don't want you to find anything good, they want you to buy it from other players. Some people like it, but I think its a load of crap. I want to play the game and find my own shit, not play a market simulator with the trappings of an ARPG.
So yeah, pretty awesome game, but it starts to wear on you after a while if you actually try to get anywhere.
