Diablo 4 vs Path of Exile 2: The 2026 State of the Game

The ARPG landscape has shifted massively. If you haven't played since the early seasons or the beta, you are missing out on major overhauls. This video compares the current state of Diablo 4 (Season 11, Paladin class, new endgame) against Path of Exile 2 (Acts 4-5, skill rework, complex builds) to help you decide which game respects your time and matches your playstyle.

We break down:

Diablo 4's Redemption: How the Season of Divine Intervention and the new Paladin class fixed the boring grind.

PoE 2's Evolution: Why the deep complexity and "Vaal Temple" endgame is perfect for hardcore strategists.

The "Secret" Third Option: Why Last Epoch might actually be the perfect middle ground between the two.

Whether you want to blast through content in 60 hours or sink 700 hours into a single build, this review covers price, gameplay loops, crafting, and endgame longevity.
