3 classes to maps. Only first 3 acts are done, rest is one shot circus with dead melee. Play poe1.

10 summoned bats out of 10

Main quest locking bugs and aqua-gopniks that spawn behind my back.

Kinda ♥♥♥♥

No timer, which means it's now a great game.

Monke rebellion!

The game is still fun most of the time.
Archnemesis is fine with some clunkiness in terms of loot and gameplay features.
The biggest issue is the monsters on which they appear. One set of modifiers on the skeleton makes it a bit harder to kill but still manageable. The same set of modifiers on some random spider can make it a supersonic killer that you cannot evade or even run from, so you just die. That's not fun and breaks the flow. Previously, even in the last league, enemy deadliness was a curve rather than this RNG of what random un-telegraphed old monster will find you.
The core game is not ready for these changes even after 6 months of forcing it into them. It still requires much more work to make it fun and interesting to play with.
Currently, it's fun for an hour, until you meet that one specific killer mob and just die frustrated without any way to outplay it. At some point, you will make the number of monsters that can kill you lower, but that supersonic spider will still be there and the road to that point is not fun enough to ride in.
A broken start of the league is a usual thing, but sometimes changes are just not well though. But worst is that company moved step by step from listening to feedback and fixing/at least answering the main concerns in the first week, to the radio silence and occasionally telling players that they are wrong and all is better than before. (while you dying in T1 to supersonic spiders)
Still the best ARPG on market, but that level of the under-cooked leagues need to stop and looks like this is the only way to voice the opinion which might matter.
As usual, the best state of Poe on league start is a week before it and a month after it.

Godlike farming simulator.


(old) Game is good, but not playable with this garbage connection.

Several years ago it was fun to play first ~60 lvls than it became grindfest. Currently it switches to model when you can play with one friend and have full party of heroes so your duo can clear all content. It's way better that it was before, but lacks in social aspect and crafting.
