≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, adventure storytelling and dark, oppressive atmosphere, while skipping survival mechanics

A dark, grounded action RPG whose dual-class system lets you combine any two masteries into a build the game did not anticipate, with a constellation layer on top and a world closer to grim fiction than high fantasy. It is the most-recommended alternative when Diablo disappoints. Recent expansions added one-shot boss mechanics and dodge-roll timing that long-time players argue works against the build-driven design.

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.
