Path of Exile is much more flexible and advanced than Diablo - you have almost unlimited flexibility in what your character can do. Everything stacks too, so your jewel slots, ring slots, armor slots… Everything works together.

So this is not just hack and slash, you won’t actually be able to complete the game even unless you understand some of that complexity.

If you stick with it, you will have many aha moments where your character suddenly doubles his damage because you figured out a good way to build it and combine it’s items to maximize its potential.

I played a lot before but I have grown tired of it. But it probably gave me several hundreds of hours of semi-fun gameplay.
