✓ Fits the isometric Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and shooter

≠ Its own twist: dark, oppressive atmosphere, horror setting and setting scifi, while skipping battle royale tension

A top-down survival game about rescuing victims before monsters reach them, built for two players and much better that way. Weapons are improvised and scarce. It is genuinely hard in an unforgiving arcade sense — limited continues, no map, and later levels where finding the last neighbour eats more time than surviving does.

≠ Stands apart with adventure storytelling, dark, oppressive atmosphere and strong narrative focus, while skipping battle royale tension

The most immediately readable action RPG of its generation: abilities are swappable at will, combat is fast and legible, and the seasonal loop is well tuned. That flexibility is also the criticism — builds are largely decided by set bonuses, so character identity comes from gear drops rather than from choices you make.

Path of Exile is inspired by Diablo II and follows it basically in most of the aspects. Randomly filled pre-set of locations, heavy grind and a possibility of replaying most of the areas leaves us with only one possible outcome. Players wake up on grim shores of Wraeclast.
