Are You Playing Path of Exile 2? | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Path of Exile 2 is probably the hottest game on the planet right now. The action RPG just launched into early access and it's already attracting a ridiculously large audience — but are you part of the hype?

The first Path of Exile really struck a chord with genre enthusiasts, scratching a Diablo-like itch that Blizzard's own property struggled to satisfy. A free-to-play title that was — and still is — considered to be incredibly fair in terms of business model, its sequel has been highly anticipated for years.

And now that Path of Exile 2 is here, the excitement has exploded. While the title has been hit with some inevitable launch issues — with developer Grinding Gear Games coming out and admitting that things might get rough — early impressions seem to be very, very positive.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Waiting on full release!

I AM tempted to take a character all the way through the first game though!

I am tempted, but with the queueing issues and the fact it'll be free (and hopefully with much more added) when it hits full launch then I can't justify dropping money on it at the moment.

I tried to play it yesterday but was met with a server queue of about 28000 that did go down to 8000 in the evening. I'm going to have another go later this evening
