Is PoE2 accessible at all to someone who has played maybe 30 minutes of an ARPG before? (PoE1 like 7 years ago lol).
I caught a stream showing the start of the game, and I was a little disappointed to see that the game looks like it bombards you with information you would only know from playing PoE1 or other ARPGs. I don't need the game to hold my hand or anything like that, but I've been kinda interested in getting started with some ARPGs since I'm unfamiliar with the genre and am not willing to give Blizzard money for Diablo.
Depend what other thing you played, it actually do play A LOT like 3rd person action game with timely dodges and such, but as someone who play hack & slash (but refuse to use the misleading label ARPG) since diablo 1 i said it's inaccessible to me. Also i wonder what the chat dudes are smoking saying it it about as hard as Diablo 2, no, it's MUCH harder.
The game does bombard you with information, it explains everything in case you're not familiar. It's a fairly deep game, has lots of mechanics to learn. It's a big time investment to get familiar with it, but most of the non-ARPG players who have tried it out seem to really enjoy it, and it seems to onboard those players well enough. It'll be free eventually so if you don't wanna take the risk you can wait until next year.
