The only downside of PoE is the barrier of entry for new players. Being such a complex game, with years of deep complex, and meaningful systems accumulated, the game can be quite intimidating for new players. But I can guarantee that if you like the genre and keep playing past the initial learning curve, you will not be disappointed. The character progression and build creation potential are honestly almost endless, and this paired with a solid campaign and an AMAZING (and almost a bit addictive) endgame array of options, makes this my all-time favourite game to play continuously.

Okay-ish campaign, but the open-world implementation paired with the auto-scaling of the enemies' difficulty makes you completely lose the sense of progression. Instead, you feel like you spend the whole game in the same big-ass open map just running randomly to all directions doing chores. The endgame and balance are almost non-existent. The character customization and build diversity are also extremely lacking, as almost every build scales with the same stats and all builds using a skill usually are locked to the same aspects, so not really a good game for people who like deep build customization. The only thing that "saves" the game from being a complete bust is the combat, which actually feels pretty good, but that on its own can't carry the game enough to be worth playing, in my opinion.
