Path of exile 2 ... I've never been so disappointed in my life. I tried Last Epoch at the start of Season 2. I fell in love directly. Looks like a trip for the next thousand hours.
MiletsIt is even of the opinion that Last Epoch shares the crown of the best ARPG ever with Grim Dawn and Diablo 2.
Incidentally, it is no coincidence that the second season of Last Epoch has been published. The release also shares an anniversary of Last Epoch: Seven years ago, the game on Kickstarter with a first small demo appeared.
