Looking good! Character animations look tight and responsive.

I think I get how right stick works now and still allowing skills to be used. While using left stick you use the right pad and while using the right stick you use directional buttons. That makes so much more sense now. Plus L2 and R2 to access an additional 12 skills

i love the couch co op idea, well done!

Huge props for twin stick movement! Something that Diablo 4 overlooked

I occasionally play the original poe on console and when it comes to combat the thing I find the most troubling is using abilities that target the ground at precise coordinate. I find the melee attacks work well enough and kiting with projectiles was particularly intuitive on controller but you cant be very precise at all when you are trying to plant an AoE on the ground. The auto-targetting does a valiant effort of placing AoEs for you but there will always be situations where you want very fine control of your AoEs. I've never really seen a real-time action game come up with console controls for ground targeted AoEs that feels as quick as intuitive as clicking a location on your mouse.

We need that inventory interface in PC too GGG!

couch co-op feature is just AMAZING thank you guys!

Never played POE but I will be giving this a try for sure!
