Interesting comparison. Pros cons of each. This is from 3 months ago so like February 2025 (still in early-ish beta of PoE2... hell it's still in beta I hear and it's May 6th, 2025 today).
Diablo 4:
- too easy, but better for adults with no time
- is it only too easy if you min max by reading up what to min max? Or in general?
- new Blizzard is too greedy and keeps pushing you to the buy more room
- fun to walk FAST and NUKE the hell out of monsters
- some screens do get a little too messy and hard to see what is going on
- Spiritborn new char is twice as powerful as old apparently. $Pay$to$win$ https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/the-actual-state-of-spiritborn-put-me-in-a-strange-and-i-would-say-bad-long-term-situation/199586/6
- char.s can be male or female, custom faces, etc.
- has a necromancer, yay.
- slower than Diablo 4 and PoExile 1. Like I think you walk slower forever.
- Does have some cool rolls/dodging which is probably fun, as long as it isn't too much like Dark Souls (I like Souls games, but I like more speed and less patience).
- Requires patience.
- But more tactical, they say.
- takes too long to level up stuff, like they want you to be playing for 500 hours.
- boss battles apparently are more epic and tactical (rolling again I guess?).
- does have a crazy skill tree
- i like this nuke cutscene with the best Burning Hands style spell ever: https://youtu.be/ngoBqOw9SSU?t=1144
- although the chick looks like a half-grandma librarian without glasses... meh.
- can pause, yay
- supposedly can overcome with skill even if not powered up enough, i believe it.
- ANNOYING loot has to be brought back to town continually - time waster
- this will never change b/c they charge u 35 bucks for all the better loot box holding loot options. And it still takes forever to play "inventory manager game", he says.
- Likely evil Chinese Tencent company behind these guys, stealing all your data.
- Some Chinese armor aesthetics are interesting at least, if not exactly of a certain D&D look.
- Modern aesthetics make it feel NOT immersive
- Ugly modern hairstyle on Warrior guy (you know, the shaved sides thing).
- The typical last 15 years have this on every Viking-type, which makes them not look like a Viking.
- Ugly modern hairstyle on Monk guy (you know, the shaved sides thing).
- Never saw a damn Shaw Bros. movie with that hair, they know what's up.
- Sorceress is a chick only/ doesn't have pure male casters, boo.

Time 6:57
Says Terra Mystica is more tactical and slower. More like Path of exike 2.
Says diablo4 is more… get a good build and melt enemies, fun, but less dodging and tactical. He says. Also fun becuz can make progress w less time, as an adult w no damn time.
