The souls like approach.

Souls games are my favorite franchise, and I'm always bewildered when people compare POE2 to Souls games. Especially the modern Souls games. There's almost no punishment in modern Souls games. "Bonfires" aren't so far apart anymore and there is always one right outside the boss arena. The punishment you receive from dying is 1-2 minutes worth of "souls." And when you die to a boss you get to do him or her again IMMEDIATELY. You don't have to grind maps for 3 days for another shot.

Also, Souls games know how to do melee combat. Melee combat in POE2 is awful.

If only POE2 were more like Dark Souls, the game would be so much the better.

I'd be okay with this level for like pinnacle bosses and content...not the worm in the Mud Burrow.

At least soulsborne bosses are rewarding even if they are early on.

Now poe2 is the worst game ever

Shouldn't have to play a specific way to have fun either.

"Hey, play a bow / crossbow build with your spear class until it feels better around level 30-40!"

Great game design.
