I loved the lore and environments and a lot of the creature designs in PoE, but the character you play was my least favorite thing.
It felt too much like you were running around wearing kitchen items and the animations weren't very good they felt outdated.

It also turned too much into a ridiculous screen vomit, you basically build your characters so that you can '' not '' play the game and just blow everything up automatically in your wake lol.
Gameplay-wise I actually enjoyed Diablo 3 way more.
The power creep just didn't reach to the insane levels as in PoE where you're basically not even playing the game anymore.
