Releasing a less than half-finished game, EA or not, isn't helping anyone either. But yes, quality sells and quality games get the love.
I have to admit, I was a long-time and dedicated player of Path of Exile 1 - i still love it. However, I stepped away from it some time ago in this year, and despite multiple attempts, I simply can’t connect with Path of Exile 2. It doesn’t resonate with me, and I find it difficult to enjoy.

Replaying the Settlers league also doesn't appeal to me. I can’t bring myself to restart it over and over. Eventually, I reach a mental block and just let my character go inactive. Personally, I’d much rather contribute to the creation of a brand-new league — one that begins when a community funding goal is met — rather than feel compelled to return to PoE2 or re-enter Settlers.

That said, I do recognize that PoE2 offers a better experience for console players compared to the original. Still, even with a 100" TV, I find it unplayable on console.

62% of recent reviews are negative, 38% of overall reviews.
I guess people went to play Last Epoch and realized ARPGs can be fun.
The review bombing is insane and unwarranted. It just feels like a lot of people whining to get their way and pretending this was always a supportive fan base.

The game is great, lots of issues with it, but they are improving every day and it's one of the best and most polished beta tests I've been a part of.

Not liking it is fine too but after playing last epoch and no rest for the wicked and other ARPG's on the market currently, I genuinely don't understand how people can find PoE 2 to not be so much more fun and engaging.

I hope people who don't enjoy it leave the game till release so those of us that enjoy it and are willing to provide feedback get our voices heard easier.

The game was never meant to be for everyone, let alone the people who cry at the start of EVERY league.
38% of the community isn't wrong because you disagree with them. They have the same right as you to say what they want and ask for the change they want.
Ruthless should be [Removed by Support].

''The review bombing''

Maybe people are just not happy with current state of the game. Reviews are pretty normal to be honest. Since most old players just love poe(1or2) i have no doubt reviews will change to better some day when GGG actually makes good changes

Just so sad to see what the leadership of ggg has become. Insane desicions one after another.

3.26 where
In 30 days, POE2 review score will return to positive.
And GGG will continue to refine, improve and develop the game, just like they always have.
I hope you enjoyed your review bomb, and I hope GGG realize that this toxic segment of the player base is not worth pandering to.

POE2 has 6x more players than POE1. Cope all you want.
Still a better game then poe1.
Game is bad, so it deserves the reviews.
Simple as that.

Just their second league and they manage to be on par with Necropolis, one of the worst leagues ever made in history of PoE.

Player retention is horrible for a game this new
