How POE1 felt after coming back from POE2

After finishing PoE 2 campaign PoE 1 just felt phenomenal. The game felt even faster right from the act 1 both combat and movement wise - which is the exact thing I always loved about PoE. Also in a long time I finally enjoyed the campaign and even labyrinth. I think I will never complain about PoE 1 campaign after that 30 hours slog I experienced in PoE 2. Gems actually feel diverse, interesting and like a choice unlike PoE 2 where whole early game it felt like you are just stuck with very limited, underwhelming and unimpactful options. Proper ARPG. Still undisputed for me.

this is how people should put poe1 up on a pedestal. mention what they like/prefer about it without the need to shit on poe2. as well as adding a "to me" at the back which makes it clear its an opinion.

i will agree with you about gems feeling diverse too. poe1 has way more many gems and a lot of interesting things you can do with them. one thing i love about poe1's gems is the weapon skill gems typically arent usually restricted to only 1 weapon class in most cases.
