Just as Blizzard is facing backlash following the release of Diablo 4 Season 1, developer Grinding Gear Games has revealed new gameplay and the closed beta date for its upcoming action-RPG Path of Exile 2. But despite the frosty reception to the new season, it seems Diablo 4 fans haven't been won over by the Path of Exile sequel just yet.
In a post over on the Diablo subreddit, user ChornLane argues that Path of Exile's complexity is what is putting off fans of Blizzard's action-RPG. "If Diablo 4 had as many features as PoE, most of its playerbase would quit," they write. The player goes on to describe their own experience of Path of Exile, saying, "By the time I get to maps, my stash and inventory is filled with so many baubles and curios that I simply get overwhelmed. I look one of them up and see that I need three other pieces that require other pieces to access those pieces."
