How Fixing Melee in Path of Exile 2 is Making it a Better Game - Exclusive Interview
On my recent trip to the Grinding Gear Games studio I had a chance to interview Mark and Jonathan, game designers on Path of Exile 2 as well as play the game for a extended session - I wanted to focus on MELEE as the ultimate magnifying glass to critique how they are trying to build a better Action RPG.
ZIGGYD Live on TWITCH:
Thanks to GGG for covering flights and Jonathan for sharing his home with my family for my stay - it would not have been financially viable to do this trip otherwise.
