Path of Exile 2
Deep, brutal action RPG.
What it is
Path of Exile 2 is Grinding Gear Games' action RPG, celebrated for staggering build depth, a vast passive skill tree and a punishing but rewarding endgame. It is currently in paid Early Access — you buy a supporter pack to get in — with a free-to-play version planned for the full 1.0 launch. Its monetisation is famously fair, focused on cosmetics and stash space rather than power, and it runs through GGG's standalone client (and Steam).
Why play it
- Some of the deepest character building in any ARPG.
- A famously fair, cosmetic-led monetisation model.
- A huge, evolving endgame with regular Early Access updates.
Worth knowing
It is currently in paid Early Access; a free-to-play version is planned for the full release, so buying in now is optional.
