Community Feedback & Game State

Day 3 of the Dawn of the Hunt league has intensified community discussions about the game's difficulty.
Many players are expressing frustration with the campaign, describing the leveling experience as slow and characters feeling underpowered, especially after recent nerfs to popular builds.
Steam reviews for the past 30 days have dropped to a 'mixed' rating, with only 47% positive feedback, reflecting widespread discontent.
Some players argue the game feels more like a hardcore experience akin to Dark Souls or Sekiro, with one user lamenting, “If I really want some hardcore experience, I would play Sekiro or Dark Souls, not Path of Exile.”
Others, however, are finding enjoyment in the endgame,  “Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt end game feels way better than the early game. Kinda blasting now. Smith of Kitava is tanky as XXX.”
GGG has acknowledged the feedback, announcing plans for further adjustments after their initial hotfix reduced monster life in Acts 1-3 by 25%. Despite the challenges, the ladders show top players excelling with Smith of Kitava and Ritualist, proving skill can overcome the league's hurdles.
