Path of Exile review: One of the best Diablo-style action-RPGs on Xbox One — and it's free

Path of Exile, the popular free-to-play, Diablo-style action role playing game (RPG) from Grinding Gear Games, has finally made the jump from Steam to Xbox One.

With loads of characters, areas, and depth, plus extremely fair monetization, this is one free game that every RPG fan needs to try.

In Path of Exile, you play as a warrior who has been exiled from his or her native land of Oriath to a troubled region called Wraeclast. From there, you have to fight through numerous regions. The story advances primarily through fully-voiced NPC conversations, along with occasional clunky cinematics. Story isn't the most important element in this style of game, but this one provides enough motivation without getting in the way of the adventure.

Pros:
A huge action-RPG with tons of free content. Loads of characters and free slots with which to play them. Great world and monster design. MMO-style towns make the world feel alive.

Cons:
Targetting inside and outside of combat is imperfect. Some bugs and crashes. For instance, the game crashes when you select the "Resize UI" option in the settings. No easy way to fully respec character - not even a paid option.

Score: 4.5/5

"Not even a paid option" GOOD! The ease with which fools will readily pay extra for basic game features is infuriating.

For the record, if you fell into a console-stupor while leveling your character and completely screwed up, you can indeed respec an entire character easily enough with in-game currency.

Ya you can respec. Not sure what the reviewer was taking about. I wonder if it was one of those "write a review by looking at a bunch of screenshots and other reviews" type.
