Minecraft is more hardcore than Path of Exile — PoE creator's take
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The world of Minecraft is full of dangers, and some feel that its local challenges are tougher than what Path of Exile has to offer.
The creator of Path of Exile shared his vision — he believes that the sandbox game Minecraft is more hardcore than his ARPG.
Chris Wilson talked about Minecraft in a recent video:
“Action RPGs are an interesting niche, but I needed to expand [my knowledge of other game types] and try something mainstream. Could this pixelated kids' game with cute characters, a Jack Black movie, and a trillion views on YouTube actually be a hardcore action RPG in disguise?”.
According to Chris, just like PoE, Minecraft is about skill and knowledge — a player needs to master and learn a lot to succeed, “which is why it can genuinely appeal to hardcore gamers, just like games such as Path of Exile.”
He also noted the existence of a hardcore mode in Minecraft: if you die near lava, your items will burn. In the developer's view, that is more hardcore than PoE in standard mode.
