In depth review of Poe 3.0.

Let me begin, first, with partial apology for GGG. The flame totem is viable, but NOT in the early stages. But after that.


So now, the review. First i want to say, that i work as a 3d graphics designer and i am connected to Chaosgroup, working with their latest vray software.

1 Graphics of 3.0- Th is is a huge plus from me here. The gfx has been updated and made alot more realistic, and i see GGG has been using the dx 11 features in their engine now.
The new parts of the game are visially very good, alot more ,, realistic,, than before 3.0.
I will underline specially the snow levels. They are just gorgeus. from me 10/10 for the gfx part.



2- The story- The story seems, ok-ish... i guess but hey, even wow-s story isn't that great as well.. The story is somehow interesting thought with good surpricing elements, and i give it a solid 7.5/10

3- The new orbs/ new economy- yes ,these are very good addition for path of exile, and i think they were needed very much.Very well designed orbs out there. I actually used those several times now and i like the idea behind it.- i give the new economy 8.5/10

4- Sound- The new intro music, the in game sounds has improved over the years and now, its superb. solid 9/10

5 - The performance improvements. I have 2 year old pc , and i must say, the gameplay is ALOT smoother, the fps doesn't dip so often( or even at all many times) the lag is gone, the stutter is gone for me. Very very well done here. For the improvements itself i will give 10/10 here.

6- And here is my verdict on the whole game structure and gameplay/ feel of the game.

Path of exile, 3.0 despite some very serious balancing issues/ruining previous builds, as a game now, is a near masterpiece. It is a true improvement from 2.0 ( when i played) and i love it. My overall score for Poe 3.0 is solid 9.2/10.

Have fun all.( sorry about the rant before)
