Currently on Steam, there is an alternative to Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 available, and it’s at a historically low price.
What kind of game is this? Grim Dawn is an ARPG in the style of Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4. The game was developed by Crate Entertainment and released back in 2016.
If you’re waiting for the end of the Early Access of Path of Exile 2 and can’t stand seeing Diablo 4 anymore, then this could be an alternative for you. And it’s currently outrageously cheap.

Action, Crafting, Multiplayer
What can I expect in Grim Dawn? The game promises many of the typical elements found in the ARPG genre. It comes with motivating character development, countless items, a crafting system, and quests where your decisions have consequences.
If that alone isn’t enough for you, you can also play the game with your friends. Both LAN co-op and online co-op are part of the game, which you can currently get for an amazing 2.49 € on Steam.
Although the game was released 8 years ago, it is still actively developed and expanded. After one of the largest patches of the game was released last year, the new update 1.2.1.3 just came out on December 17, 2024.
A new expansion for the game is also on the way and is set to go live next year, as the developers report on their site.
In addition to the main game, the expansions and DLCs are currently on offer. They are each reduced by 35%. If you want to purchase the game with all expansions and DLCs, you can currently save 62% on the entire bundle, which you can get for 25.08 €.
How is the game received in the community? The game does not have to hide its rating behind the best representatives of the genre. On Steam, the game has a solid 93% positive ratings with 79,885 reviews (as of December 20, 2024).
Recent reviews show a similar value. Here, the game has 91% positive ratings with 516 reviews submitted.
There is also a lot going on with the genre representative Path of Exile 2. The game is currently in Early Access and causes both cheers and frustration in the community with many and frequent changes. They have a particular demand: Path of Exile 2 players are calling for changes in loot, particularly one type of item annoys them.
