Furthermore, the experience penalty upon dying makes grinding to level up (after the game has already made the level-up process much slower by the endgame) much more cumbersome and nauseating than it needs to be. My generosity fades, however, when the game demands that you slay hundreds of on-screen enemies while the framerate plummets below 5 FPS, then proceeds to play catch-up with its own lag (Caused by both faulty connectivity and graphical limitations) while you helplessly watch your character die to causes that are difficult enough to discern when the game isn't chugging. It demands you know the game's mechanics head-to-toe, meet a consistently and ever-rising skill ceiling, and grind endlessly to increase your HP and damage to astronomical levels in order to progress. That is, in everything leading up to the endgame, or as it is called within the community, 'mapping.' Path of Exile's endgame, if I were to be extremely generous, separates the casuals from the hardcore. Of course, this is asking a lot, but I believe the game merits the time investment it asks of you. New players may find this difficult, but if you put in the effort it asks you too, the game will be significantly more manageable. Within each of these 7 classes, too, there are Ascendancy classes that can allow you to specialize your role even more, making for a character that truly feels like it's 'yours.' I would not personally call Path of Exile's main game excessively challenging - it present a manageable challenge if you gear your character adequately and learn its more complex aspects. Eventually, you also unlock the Scion, who is versatile enough to fill any one of these roles with ease. There is variety among each of the six (eventually seven) player characters, who each fill some niche of the Warrior-Rogue-Mage trinity that has been done to death in fantasy RPGs: The Duelist is the fast warrior the Shadow is the magical rogue, and the Templar is the mage-warrior, to put it simply, alongside the Marauder, Ranger and Witch, who respectively fill the pure warrior, rogue and mage niches.

When I began Path of Exile, there was this nostalgic thrill that brought me straight back to some of the highest highs of Diablo 2 (and even some great moments of Diablo 3), but with a modern flair and style. Combine this with an underwhelming and tiresome endgame, a bevy of technical issues, and microtransactions that seem wildly overpriced, and you have yourself an initially gripping experience that drops the ball spectacularly once you reach the endgame. This depth can be a big draw for some, but also wildly intimidating for more lax players.
