Is Path of Exile as ball-bustingly awesome as it looks? Been keeping my eyes on this for some time, this and some other, similar game on Kickstarter that featured a physics based combat system with weight and momentum carrying attacks and a proper real-time weather system (don't remember the name of the game though).

It really is good. 
Once you get over the fact that its not a diablo clone that is.
The systems in the game are really innovative imo. And because of the massive passive skil tree and skills/item system you can experiment with different builds etc.
It also has a very satisfying end game. After you beat merciless (third play through and really challenging) you get to do maps. Maps are basically dungeon instances with modifiers to mobs and stats etc. I think its similar to the map system in torchlight.
Not saying the game is perfect though far far far from it. But if you like ARPGS and challening gameplay that requires serious time and thinking then atleast give it try.
This game got me off DOTA/DOTA 2! And thats saying something. Id put it right up there with Diablo 2 if it put a bit more effort into the game as a complete package instead of just pouring resources into the deep systems that the game has. Trading is difficult and cumbersome and the story is completely lacklustre.
Ive been playing solo for a while now but the game really takes off when you play with friends and compete in races/events. If you do give it try then id love to play with you!
