camjo13: I've settled into a mode of playing both games, PoE 1 for the whole 2 months and PoE 2 for as long as I can stomach the endgame, about 2 weeks.

Also changed my purchasing patterns. Used to purchase a supporter pack every league. Now I'm only purchasing supporter packs on PoE 1 leagues.

NoahISD: Phrecia already feels nostalgic, such a fun league

fvzi4861: Overall I think it was a great year for poe enjoyers.

koko2274: I was very confused you said half life 3 ... Good thing it was a joke, I almost lost something there

szymonh7905: i played gsf in 3.27 and over 90% of my divine orbs came from kingsmarch (or kalguur specificly)

absolute worst game design

haschwell2757: Best thing: Playing PoE 1/2

Worst thing: PoE 1/2 reddit.

zeriel9148: A crazy year in which everything sucked and GGG revealed they have become exactly like Blizzard. I guess financial success does bad things to everyone.

YouTookMyAccountName: * looks at title * "but we're only 7 days into the year...."

xiuxiefelula7074: GGG can really pump bangers if given enough time. Nuff said.

Qneoneone: Still think breach is worse then before. Like we have 3 versions 2 new ones where you afk for 2 minutes once ur build is online and the old one got gutted both in terms of amount of enemys(fun) and reward. I stoped playing after like 2 week came back 2 weeks later and had more enjoyment 1 month after league start because I decided to ignoring every breach and that despit the economy getting rought. played for almost a month after that.

m1xxx3r: 2025 showed really hard that 2 month development cycle is crazy, unsustainable and in the end destructive to both games

SamuraiPizzaCam: It's bonkers to me how much content one studio has put out in one year. Wild.

scoinc2469: GGG Please bring back phrecia, it'll be even better with the new bloodlines

grunerkaktus: As someone who never got into PoE1 bc it felt overbloated, too fast with unreasonable power scaling and I didnt like how skills and gear were linked, I was very much looking for PoE2. Thought it would iron this out after seeing how skills were a separate menu now and combat showcases looked more "meaningful"/slow. Turns out the game seems to be a more annoying version of PoE1 after all and every update so far has just doubled down on the game design. Not my cup of tea. I reckon Ill try another beta league, lets say 0.7 or something but to me it is looking like the game wont be what I wanted it to be.

TheBeefPudding: i heavily disagree about 3.27. terrible league. possibly the least fun since kalandra

Jbob648: wen poe1 come i sey yes, wen poe2 come i sey no.

IAmImplied: You almost got me with half life 3 :D

trukinis420: 0.3 was the best league for poe 2. I also like the walking calamity build, I made it my main skill. Looking forward to use bear next season.

GavrynGaming: Awesome recap man, love this format!

bench_one: PHRECIA the best league of 25 )))

fihfgpwoejf8611: Personally, I would not call 0.4 a bad patch. Building the temple is fun, and if you are not building it just for loot or you are building it in SSF it's still fun.

jackb8410: I hope 2026 moves PoE into a positive trajectory with no low-lows

mattb1638: Poe 2 is not for me. I can get a similar experience in about 10 other arps. Poe 1 is the GOAT arpg.

preslim84: 0.4 has been the longest i've kept playing outside of 0.1.... the temple complaints are overexaggerated

Gelonyrum: PoE died in 2025...

imKromB: it was trash
