Joe Ziegler, the former lead behind Valorant and Marathon, has spent 3,437 hours playing Path of Exile.
He says the biggest reason he loves it is the freedom to experiment with different character builds.
“Path of Exile is the most freeform version of that.”
He loves experimenting with different builds, calling the game a “Rube Goldberg machine of effects and things.”
Ziegler also prefers the original over Path of Exile 2: “It’s a little bit more limiting.”
“Path of Exile 1 was more meant for me.”
