Reviews Overwhelmingly Negative
" Do you seriously believe that the developers' response — saying they’ll adjust one zone in Act 3 — actually addresses the complaints about the lack of build variety, the loss of fun, the overwhelming difficulty, and how suffocating and unpleasant the game has become? And you call that a “quick” response??? If your house lost power and water, and someone came to fix the front door and then left — would you say your problem was solved? I also came here in the first couple of days to apologize, thinking the developers would actually listen to the new reviews on Steam and bring back what people loved about the game. But how much time has passed now? And all they announce is “we’ll change one zone in Act 3”... I can’t even find the right polite words anymore. Good luck to you. | |

I played 100h PoE1 and I did not like it, in PoE2 I have more than 400h played but now I don't enjoy PoE2 also, because for the first time I decided to try minions with Lich ascendancy and they are so slow, die in tier1 maps even with a lot of hp to minions passives and they do almost no damage also, totally useless wasted points. Drop is also so low and I see crap uniques too often with items for other builds/classes. I guess I'pl have to wait 1 more week and leave this game for LE

Prior to 0.2 it was... challenging, but enjoyable if you slogged through it...
But now it's gone from challenging to simply pointless and, well, BORING. And they still have not tuned down that dead-end-wall act 2 boss. It's beatable - barely, and certainly not easily especially with player damage nerfed into the bedrock. They need to reduce the HP by over half and leave it as is, or cut the one-hit-death attack spam down considerably so their vaunted 'combo abilities' can actually be utilized. Right now there is simply no point where builds reliant on combos have time to get them off between constant dodge rolls. Active parry is an absolute joke, even with their new changes. Parry (and block i.e. raise shield) should be entirely passive. Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive. Patch Notes 3.19: Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment. |

" Changes that never should have been required in the first place. That's the problem. We didn't need nerfs to the amount of fun in POE2. We needed more content. How many months of time will end up being dedicated to the 0.2 nerfs and subsequent backtracking? |

" Bravo. I completely agree and join in on everything you've said. " Just look at the comments and reviews — people are saying that with the 0.2.0 update, the game became unbearable because everything we fell in love with was taken away. People aren't saying the game has always been bad; they’re saying it became this way after the update. Before the update, they were happy with it — which completely contradicts the usual assumption that these are just POE1 fans complaining. The developers are simplifying the campaign instead of fixing the actual gameplay. What we need is for them to bring back how the game was — just with the new content added.

In 0.1 it was good game now its not. Looking forward to Diablo 4 it will be blast and fun again. Poe 2 is too far away from fun, I am sick of dying faster then I can see what killed me, it getting old.
One dead in map is extremely shit Looting and dying on daed effect is shit Random one shot from actually anything is shit No loot at all, you forced to use the shitty forum trade and wasting hours, they refusing to make AH even if the game is all about trade. No curency drops and everything on that shitty trade side is hyperinflated every day. No build diversity, they killed sorc and minion necro Bosses are too hard and o one shots which is shit I hate hardcore and souls like games I want to blast and push limits of my character not to play like chicken in constant fear and stress. Jonathan can play his vision on his own. Game is ... Last edited by desper940#2462 on Apr 11, 2025, 11:06:58 AM

" Get back to reality — open the game!!! Four patches in six days — is that really an argument? If you were complaining about having no water or electricity and they just fixed your front door, would that make you feel more comfortable? There’s no choice, no build variety, no damage, no fun — they’ve taken away everything we loved about this game instead of simply adding new content. They destroyed all the good that was there. The developers say they're fighting the meta, yet they themselves created one — the spear — with higher attack speed and damage than any other build. Playing anything else is nearly impossible now. Honestly, it seems like some of you haven’t even played the game. Last edited by PARK#6058 on Apr 11, 2025, 12:23:51 PM
