It's like they wanted to make an ARPG meets Soulslike but failed. The devs idea of making a difficult game is by stat squishing the player.
Also, the loot is absolutely non existent. I'm lvl 56 and have only had 3 amulets drop, all of which were completely useless.
If you want a good arpg play path of exile 1 or diablo 4. Poe 2 is boring and not worth your time.
