Check out a 29 minute gameplay demo of Path of Exile 2 that was showcased during Exilecon 2023. We get a glimpse of Act 3 showcasing the Monk and Sorcerer. I...
It’s all in what you think is worth it. For me, it’s my favorite genre. I have spent about $400 or maybe $500 for over 2500 hours of gaming since the beta in PoE which is way less per hour than most games I’ve paid for up front. It’s worth it to me for playing a fun game for all that time. I also don’t really think they purposely design the game to need stash tabs. It’s just what it is. Look at D4 and all the people complaining they can’t buy more. They obviously didn’t design it like that. It’s just that type of game.
Bottom line for me is I haven’t spent money in that game in years and still play every league because everything I ever bought is still there and will be in PoE2 as well from what they say. I wonder about the tabs…
40k inquisitor is better than it has any right to be (especially considering the dire state at early access and launch). Co-op is somewhat unstable and I don’t think anyone does pvp. Loads of endgame. Get the game when it goes on sale (it’s overpriced but go on deep discount often)
Ghostlore is a pretty neat indie arpg. No online play but has split screen co-op and remote play together support on steam.
Undecember and Torchlight Infinite are pc/mobile arpgs with cross progression. Neither is amazing, but both have gotten much better than at launch. Torchlight feels like zoom-zoom poe and gets fun quickly but has less longevity, undecember takes longer to get going but stays interesting for longer. (and both should have new leagues/content out within a month or two)
Keep an eye out for The Slormancer. I suspect it’ll be quite good once it’s out of early access.
Grim Dawn is probably well known enough that I don’t need to talk it up much. It’s one of the GoaT arpgs.
And finally, Last Epoch. It’s probably the closest we’ll see to the complexity and depth of poe in a very long time. Still in early access but incredibly good. Endgame lacks variety, but what’s there is great.

I too enjoy the genre but don’t have any games to play. Can you recommend a new-ish game worth playing?
(gonna pass on D4 tho ;)

Chronicon was pretty fun. Mini healer too.
Looks like fun! Thanks
