To me this game looks really amazing, it's doing a lot of things differently and it isn't just some Diablo clone. The passive skill tree is just amazing and the way that they handled skills by making them gems you attatch to weapons is interesting as well. Not to mention the game has no currency and vendors use a barter system, which is a great way to get rid of money which was useless anyway!

I also recommend you all watch this First 40 video, really shows the games shining mechanics:

Seems interesting, and since it's free to play I may check it out.

The production value is mind blowing for being an indie game that is free to play. It has a lot of potential and though I have played a decent amount of it in the past, I will be trying the open beta out no doubt. I love the item art and gritty graphics.

I like how the game doesn't have currency but runs on a barder system. I think I'll actually try this out when it comes out.

I'm interested in this game, it also has a really fair F2P model.

Its really good game and its free. I played the closed beta couple of months. It fills the gap for people that are starving for proper diablo style game unlike diablo 3.

I still haven't been bothered to install Torchlight 2. The isometric dungeon crawling thing lost its cool quite a while ago.

I wasn't aware of this, along with the millions of other people who have bought iso ARPG's recently.

I thought this as well, which is why I originally was not interested in Path of Exile. But it seems they are doing just enough to spice up the game and make it different. I think its worth a go, especially if its free.

I enjoyed the beta and will probably spend at least some time with PoE. Personally not crazy about some things, and also looking forward to games like Grim Dawn a lot more.

I've seen Grim Dawn, it looks fine but its artstyle is again more cartoony. I just want a dark game to fill the void, I havent seen anything like it since D2

I wouldn't really call it cartoony (at least not in the same way as Torchlight is), but yeah, it does have a bit more color to it though the textures are definitely more detailed. Anyways what really gets me excited for Grim Dawn is the skill system. TQ had the best skill system in an ARPG imo, and the Crate guys are making it even better this time around.

I think Grim Dawn is pretty similar to Diablo. Both it and Path of Exile are good, I just wish PoE had better animations for the characters. I love the item art and all. Grim Dawn has some great music and enemy design as well. Both are very good to be honest.
