MEAT,
Regarding Path of Exile, current state of the game feels like the parts are better than the whole. I love the ideas and system in place, but at the moment they feel thrown into these extremely large and randomized maps with unbalanced skills and no real challenge from monsters. Each zone is randomized, and absolutely massive and tedious to clear (coming from someone who enjoyed clearing all Tal Rasha's tombs). I'm level 24ish in the second Act (three Acts in release) and have no desire to continue until further patches come along.
But I have hope everything will come together and they'll find better pacing for the game. There's tons of features that make this one worth keeping an eye on.
