Most expensive game on Steam

Most expensive game on Steam. I spent USD 50 *after* playing it for the first time 10 hours straight! Not because I had to. But I wanted to. Many people on steam may think that 10 hours of consecutive gaming is no big deal. But not for me. I’m almost 40. Have a wife, 3 kids, and a demanding job. On any day if I can do 2 hours of uninterrupted gaming, I’m in bliss. POE is that good. I don’t know what took me so long to find this game. I went into this game completely blind. No reviews. No gameplay videos. No guides. It is newbie friendly enough that I could move along the progression. Yet complex enough that I kept wondering what are all these interesting things all around. It makes me feel like a little kid visiting another continent for the first time. Everyone and everything are the same, yet interestingly unique and different. It has the right about of min-max, complexity, and grind. Yet it has flexibility and freedom to truly do whatever I want! So yes. The most expensive game on Steam. Not because I had to. But I wanted to.

At the time of writing this review I have 2498 hours put into this game

At the time of writing this review I have 2498 hours put into this game. You should consider playing Path of Exile if: 1. You liked Diablo 2, but find Diablo 3 underwhelming and the end game too boring and simple. 2. You like ARPGs 3. You like games in which there are several tasks at any time you can spend your time on (crafting, farming, trading, theorycrafting, etc.) 4. You seek a balanced game where there are numerous viable builds and only your creativity with the houndreds and houndreds of items and skill gems limits you. 5. You want to play a game that is constantly updated and balanced with large content additions all the time, including a major expansion every year. 6. You're looking for a game that is truly free to play. All purchasable stuff is cosmetic, with the exception of some quality-of-life upgrades, which are not necessary in order to enjoy and play the game. Path of Exile has a lot more "depth" to it than other ARPGs on the market. The skill system, where you can mix-and-match between skill gems; the unique items with special and sometimes build-enabling stats, and the end game map system all contribute to a game that takes something simple and turns it very interesting. Personally, I cannot recommend this game enough. I have played WoW, Diablo, LoL, CS, HS, HotS, SC, and many other games for countless hours, but no game has ever kept me interested for the amount of time that Path of Exile has - it just keeps getting better, and the developers communicate a lot with the community in order to continue to improve the game. BUY IT!!! No, wait, it's free.
