With a controller, you use the directional pad to aim your skills and they are directed to the closest enemy, or the edge of the screen (in the case of ranged attacks and spells). You can aim your mouse and click on the ground to cast spells, make attacks and open objectives. If you have played PoE on PC, you are aware of how the mechanics work with a keyboard and mouse. Let’s get into the differences, and maybe some of the builds that work better on console because of those changes. And that may be a good thing, as the game plays a bit differently on console than it does on PC. However, since my accounts are not connected, I have to play different characters on both systems.

Path of Exile is still one of the best Action RPGs in production, and with the constant updates, continual balance, content changes, and incredible improvements it’s still on my go-to list of games to play both on my powerful Desktop in my office, and on my Playstation 4 Pro that I have setup in my bedroom to play at night when my wife wants to chill out in bed.
