The problem with PoE2 is they said they wanted dark souls but they didn't really commit to that. So its in a weird half way point. They say they want meaningful combat but then a bunch of bosses fill their arenas with bullshit, which no dark souls boss does. Mobs also outspeed the player so it becomes a game of chicken where you get rushed down and the best strategy is just to kill everything. People like Dark Souls bosses but then in mapping you only fight a boss every now and then, the maps are also huge.
