In the four decades since Path of exile currency was first released, I have tried to play with it innumerable times. I start a new character and, so long, abandon them since I feel overwhelmed with the sheer intricacy–the commodity-based market, freeform character development, and the nagging sense that I am enjoying it the wrong way. However, with the release of its massive Fall of Oriath expansion a month ago, I decided to try once again, and I’ve seen the light. Path of Exile is not a simple POE sport to get into, but if you stay with it, you will find the very richly rewarding ARPG out there.
Path of Exile is a concept crafter’s dream come true, the type of POE game with seemingly endless ways to build and maximize your perfect personality. On top of a standard leveling system is a passive skill tree that produces Final Fantasy 10’s Sphere Grid seem like a ‘connect the dots’ puzzle book for toddlers–and that’s just the beginning. There’s an Ascension platform for additional specializing your character, a Pantheon system that gives you more passive bonuses for killing a variety of gods and trapping their souls, the skill gems which enables you to essentially spellcraft–the list continues. And on. And on.
Oh, and that I have not even mentioned loot. Fantastic god, the loot. Never have I been haunted by means of buy poe orbs an inventory full of vague knick-knacks and gizmos that I understand do something but have no clue if this something is worth doing. If you are somebody who enjoys knowing the fundamental concepts of a POE game immediately, Path of Exile may feel impossible.
