Looking for alternatives to PoE2
|
Any suggestions for a game that meets these requirements?
- when I die I don't want to lose loot - similar to an ARPG, maybe even an ARPG itself - a game where I have multiple tools, not just one, to solve challenges myself and feel rewarded - character progression - enemies don't one shot you - no on-death effects I know, it's a CRAZY list of requirements, but surely someone has built a game like that out there Last bumped on Dec 23, 2024, 3:15:52 PM

" Some mobile game? To be honest i think this game meets 99% of your requirements. You usually also dont loose loot when you die. The only thing i would say is bad in regards to your requirements is the endgame. Some more casual ARPGs: - Torchlight 1,2 (even modable) - Grim Dawn - Diablo 3,4 Torchlight 3 was a flop - but look at it - its pretty much the epitome of a casual game. Maybe the new Titan Quest, i dont know how casual Last Epoch is for example. Last edited by _N0ctus_#6387 on Dec 23, 2024, 10:10:51 AM

" Titan Quest comes to mind. It's on steam and it got a few expansions so it has an anniversary edition now with some new content. It's chill, the only punishment for dying is losing a bit of exp(like 5% or something not a lot) and its a gravestone where you died, so after respawning at a checkpoint you just run back and click the gravestone to get that same lost exp back, so only multiple deaths to a boss is kinda punishing but honestly exp gain isn't much of a problem in this game since even sidequests give you biiig chunks of exp. Main quests also give exp most of the time. It's a singleplayer game mostly(it does have multiplayer but no idea how many game lobbies are hosted in there atm). That game was really fun when I played the original "Titan Quest: Immortal Throne" years ago, so I definitely recommend it if you've just got an itch to have fun in some ARPG. There's also probably a good amount of build guides in the steam discussions section of the game you can follow. The dual-class system is pretty interesting, and the loot has some cool ideas in it like set items. The character progression feels good, gaining skill points actually makes you stronger and most class trees have interesting abilities. The game also has a "very fast" speed setting in the options so that's really nice qol. That game really is a hidden gem, so if you've never heard of it and you just want a fun arpg to dive into I definitely recommend it. Also seems like the game is on a big -75% sale(-64% for all expansions) so its fairly cheap on Steam atm. Hope you enjoy it if you do try it out! |

I played PoE 2 for almost 2 weeks straight. I really wanted to like it, but in the end I also ended up looking for something different.
So far, (since someone mentioned it here in a different thread) I landed on Diablo 1, followed by D2R later, followed by the next PoE 1 league, whenever that comes out (I guess February?), and then we'll see. Last edited by GregoryAdams#7051 on Dec 23, 2024, 3:06:35 PM

" You mean the new league which keeps getting delayed because of PoE2? |

Grim Dawn is my recommendation, or Diablo 2.
There are about 10 better arpgs than POE2 on the market right now. May 15th 2012 - The day the king of ARPGs died. January 23rd 2013 - A new king takes the throne.

The biggest mistake GGG made was to expect 'veteran PoE players' with thousand of hours in PoE1 to have the mental capacity to understand that this is version 0.1, not 1.0.
These past days have been mindboggling for me, I've lost all faith in the average emotional resilience. And I used to work in mental healthcare as a coach, so I've been around some emotionally broken people. |
