PoE can be harder to grasp at the beginning ( Just google the talent tree ) where as in GD is rather easy to get the ball rolling, as you pick a single class and can put only few points per level to it. + Poe is free to play, so no reason not to give it a try first to see if you'd like it. + PoE has special events that award everyone who play, with free cosmetic items and pets + PoE gets a new league (free dlc) every 3-4 months. + PoE has actual working multiplayer if you wanna play with friends, unlike in GD where if your friend bought a DLC, you cannot play with that friend anymore unless you buy the dlc too. and the list keeps going ) While GD doesnt really have any end game at all, you just farm same bosses over and over, or do any of the 3 different roguelike dungeons. + Much more different content to play through ( like maps, 140+ different dungeons, delve, an infinite randomly generated mine, incursions, where you get to explore the past to change a layout of a temple dungeon in the present. Or how about a bow user that fires a rapid barrage of arrows and on crit you fire a circle of fireballs that also poison all enemies hit ? Yeah that its possible in PoE, where as in GD you can pick from 9 different classes with a handful of locked skills each and there is no real customisation for those, sure you can change that your fire beam does arcane damage now, but thats about it. + More build options, like ever wanted to be a melee fighter that drops traps that release totems that each keep summoning skeletons.

GD is like PoE light, a good learning tool before you jump to the more mature game of PoE, as it has: To each their own and nevermind the stories that have made it out about PoE employees taking part in manipulating the real money economy for their own benefit that has sprung up around the game. PoE is only free as long as enough people are paying to keep it free for everyone who doesn't want to pay. Want to not look like a** in PoE? Apparently that can cost you between 40-60 bucks to rectify that issue. They limit stash quite alot, enough that some people feel you are going to be paying for that stash as a matter of necessity.


An offline and moddable experience, if you want that.įrom what I hear, if you decide to go hardcore into PoE chances are good you are going to be spending money. Each caters to different crowds and you'll find many that prefer GD often don't tend to give a damn about PoE being "free" because GD offers something PoE can't. In the end it's up to you what you are looking for in a diablolike. Here's a video about Grim Dawn from a D3 player.
