Indie Windows game Path of Exile will come to Steam October 23, 2013. Path of Exile is a free-to-play action-adventure game that looks pretty interesting. The system requirements don’t look too rough, which makes the game accessible to many Windows PC gamers. One feature that caught my eye, aside from the massive amounts of customization that are said to be available, was the “fair-to-play” feature. The makers of the game, Grinding Gear Games, state on the game’s Steam page that you won’t gain any gameplay advantage through pay items, that they want the game to be fair to everyone.
Key features and system requirements (taken from Steam page):
