I hate the cliche, but Path of Exile 2 really is the Dark Souls of isometric dungeon crawlers

Key art for Path of Exile 2, featuring a Marauder class character standing atop a pile of skulls.

I hit up my Discord group with guides maestro Sean and former associate editor Tyler C at 9:30pm, suggesting that we kill some monsters together in Path of Exile 2. I have an ulterior motive. What I really mean is: "Dear god, please help me, a giant mutant wolf keeps murdering my Monk". I am having a very bad time. But I am also having a very good time. Because I am a complete sicko.

The original Path of Exile is my all-time favourite ARPG, which I've been playing off and on for over a decade. The genre, meanwhile, is one I've dedicated an absurd number of hours to, ever since Diablo started taking over lives way back in 1997. My fingers might not be as fast as they used to be, but this is all to say that I'm not that bad at ARPGs. With PoE2, though, I've had a real fight on my hands.
