It does eventually turn into a grind though, but what game doesn't. It's alot of hours (if you're up for it/get hooked) of fun for most people who actually play it. My advise: Just buy it anyway, it's cheap so why not. They fix bugs and add small things in the line of what the devs themselves would have added, had the studio not been closed down. However there are fan patches for it, by some true fans of the game. The game was dropped when the studio who developed it decided to close shop, which happens. especially in TQ's case, since it's a pretty damn decent game in my opinion. In fact, it didn't really get to shine at all because of the somewhat anonymous release it had. TQ is getting old aswell, but were forgotten pretty fast. Diehard fans of the D2 game say that POE is the "true" successor, due to the similarities and wishlist they had for D3 (in which were never delivered). They promise this and that, fail to deliver and are usually too late with "new" features. Developers that claim to listen to fans, then turn their back on them and does stupid things. It's been pretty much a huge let-down from the get go from the fans point of view.

But you can definitely mess up if you don't know what you're doing (huge and confusing passive skill tree, hard/costly to revert mistakes, confusing economy, unforgiving difficulties/monster buffs).ĭ3 is getting old. And there's not really a right and wrong way to play POE. POE is free to play, so just try it out yourself. (D3 expansion might be nice though, i hear). It's got interesting twists to old greek gods and imfamous evils, and a complete greek theme to it.

TQ has some story too of course, but is more close to real history. It's gritty and dirty, and has a very nightmare'ish and hopeless atmosphere to it. POE has endless possibilities you could say. TQ feels a bit less polished, but the mechanics are definitely there and working (for the most part).ĭ3 is more about the lore and grind (very item based, therefore no depth of choosing "paths"), and it also looks good. TQ has way more possibilities than D3 though, but that's not saying much though (since D3 has basically none). But it doesn't compare in depth and possibilities that POE has. You can't really bring POE into the equation to be quite honest. Diablo - no depth> titans quest - some depth> path of exile - insane ammount of depth.ĭepends on what you're after.
