I just discovered Grim Dawn and it beats POE and Last Epoch.

Grim Dawn is one of my favorite games, but it has no live service MMO features. It's a Titan Quest mod but taken to the maximum extreme of quality. They don't really compete since they have really different goals in mind. PoE really leans into being a live service, where GD really leans into being a narrower focused player controlled game.

I have now sunk 42 hours into Grim Dawn and about 25 hours into POE, so I can give a fairly good assessment of the two games. Grim Dawn is a better designed game in nearly every aspect. Its design is nearly flawless. Crate Entertainment truly listened to fans and made an incredible isometric ARPG that no other ARPG can touch in quality (and I've played all the relevant isometric ARPGs out there). In comparison, many POE levels seem rushed, and the combat feels floaty. Grim Dawn has fantastic visceral combat with effects that make the combat feel substantial (not floaty). Grim Dawn has MUCH better art design than POE. Therefore, Grim Dawn has significantly better visuals than POE. Even the spell effects in Grim Dawn are far more impressive than POE spell effects. Grim Dawn has excellent skill trees that are not overly complex and not overly simple. They are just right. In comparison, POE's skill trees are a giant mess of needlessly complex and convoluted nonsense. Crafting in Grim Dawn is also far better designed than POE's crafting system. I could go on and on how Grim Dawn beats POE in every aspect, and it's really not even close.

I have Grim Dawn and all its main expansions, and I probably won't play much of my other video games for several months until I completely finish Grim Dawn. It's really THAT good. In fact, I can say without a doubt that Grim Dawn is the best video game I have ever played.

Yes, Grim Dawn is good. However, 42 hours of play in one and 25 hours of play in the other makes you completely unqualified to give your opinion of each, at least beyond a first impression. Now, please take your trolling elsewhere.

Grim Dawn has a much better story than PoE (Not talking about lore but the actual quests and such), had a blast doing those, didn't finish it yet though. People say the endgame is pretty mediocre so enjoy it while it lasts.

42h in GD and 27h in PoE...that sounds as if you are lvl 70 on both of them in average.

Not to mention that you stated that grim dawn is worse than Lost Ark

Is that guy just a walking game promotion?
