Maybe the most solid and inoffensive ARPG ever made. Nothing in this game is excellent, but also nothing about it is truly bad. A huge improvement over its predecessor, and more faithful to the classic Diablo 2 than that other big ARPG from 2012. Character building and gearing is simple and fun, with enough depth reserved for the endgame to make you stick around for a little while, although Path of Exile this certainly is not. It's only when you play on difficulties higher than normal do cracks begin to show, like an over-reliance on enemies that spawn monsters while they're alive, enemies that push and pull you around, and an overabundance of slowing and mana draining effects.
