Up to six players party through the campaign and endgame, each chasing their own build and loot while clearing the same areas.
It is free, so a group can try it without buying anything.
The systems are deep and a lot to learn, which suits a group with one experienced guide.
PC, PlayStation and Xbox each have their own servers and characters.

9 · Gamespot “Path of Exile was a great game in 2013, but a slew of free expansions have only made it better. It’s one of the best ARPGs out there, and absolutely the best value.”
