Should I buy Path of Exile 2?

Played the first one for about 200 hours. Enjoyed it. Never got into the end game. The second one looks amazing. Played for an hour on my nephews account. Enjoyed what I played of it. I know it’s early access so it’s essentially a beta for 6 to 12 months. Should I buy it now or wait til full release?

You like Dark Souls slow and intricate combat? And also like Diablo style games with loot and progression?

Then yes go for it! It's like Dark Souls Diablo

People throw around the term "dark souls" way too much and it's seldomly used appropriately. Poe2 is nothing like dark souls.

Yeah basically if there is a dodge roll it gets compared to DS. But like, the dodge roll is not what makes dark souls what it is. I feel like people who make that comparison based on a dodge roll have never actually played dark souls

Exactly what I was thinking. There's zero stamina management for dodging, or I guess rolling, which is a key feature people like to use in comparing souls like game.

I guess the fact enemies and bosses are tougher and actually requires rolling it somehow is souls like.
