Bro, it's being wild. I've started playing it and God, I'm loving it. There are a few bosses that look like they're straight out of the Souls saga. The combat is spectacular and more complicated than I imagined haha.

I KNOW RIGHT! each map they have this tiny area for a boss fight, ITS AMAZING!

p.s.: if you are new to poe, know that you can reset the map(reset the mobs) by ctrl+click the entrance

How does it play differently from PoE 1? Slower, since you compare in to dark souls, or just because it's a brutal difficulty?

you can dodge roll.
you can move using WASD, you can cast a spell while retreating or side stepping.
you can raise your shield to block all hits from the front.
monsters (specially bosses) have attack patterns similar to dark souls.
monsters (specially bosses) can be momentarily disabled through poise damage similar to dark souls.
no more piano potions. you get a red pot and a blue pot with high capacity.
slower yes, but other people have builds one hitting bosses.
poe style damage. yeah, painful if not built defensively.
story is better.
you can dodge roll.

(well I don't think druid is released yet, so no bears.)

Sounds awesome. Will have to give it a try at some point.

my expectation at first was that it's just POE next installment, it won't be some ginormous leap.

I was wrong. It's soooo good! hope you get to try it soon!

I'll probably look into it once I finish or get tired of Tales of Arise.

If this is another version of diablo then it must be a blast

yes! just like in POE1. every character starts in the center, but depending on the character they start on different sides.

I play the witch so it starts at the north, where all the summon and spell specifics are easy to get.
