Path of exile. Had no idea about builds and tried to just play casually lol

2nd character went a lot more smoothly

Honestly, by now I've come to hate games where you can't figure out how to play them from the game itself. It seems like nowadays you can't play without a whole community figuring out what's currently the meta way to play.

That's the reason I couldn't get into PoE. I've seen many critics about Diablo 3 & 4 being too easy and forgivable, but I'm not 16 anymore and I want to enjoy games without having to absorb a whole wiki beforehand. I even played Torchlight 2 with a respec mod because I don't have time to fail a build.

PoE is absolutely brutal, in so many ways. For me it's one of the charms. But man once you figure out builds the game changes.
