Early Access Review
I've been playing ARPGs for years, I still remember the day I installed d2 lod and my life changed on the spot. However, I can't claim to have been much a PoE1 player. I played the open beta and tried it many other times over the years but it never grabbed me. However when I heard a class I always love, the Druid would be in PoE2, I wanted to give it a try. I bought the cheapest pack and got to playing a poison ranger (pathfinder, ultimately)

This is my favorite arpg of all time at the moment. I upgraded to the largest supporter package which I've never done anything close to before. The ways they've changed things from poe1 are, for me, perfect. the combat is only a bit slower but it feels much more substantial to me. The skill system has the same creativity available in its structure but without the need to find proper links on proper gear to try things out. The passive tree is still massive but without the need to spend so many points on life just to survive (reminder that I mostly played poe1 early so I am not sure if that requirement remained later on)

I love it. I've given keys to strangers in the hopes they'll have as much fun as I'm having. I am excited for many years to come with this game.
