While Leagues are temporary, they also serve as testbeds for experimentation, introducing new features that become mainstays.

Path of Exile’s most effective trick for getting players to start their whole journey over again is the League system. Along with the Standard and Hardcore versions—the vanilla game without and with permadeath, respectively—there are special temporary Leagues that dramatically transform the game, sometimes to the point of reinvention.

The latest, the Bestiary League, puts a Pokémon and Monster Hunter spin on things, giving players the ability to capture monsters in the wilderness. These captured beasties get stored in a handy menagerie that you can teleport to via the mysterious NPC who runs the place. You can head there to visit your new best friends, or you can ritually murder them for loot. Want a new pair of shoes or a mod for your healing flask? Kill some critters!

The extent of the transformation varies from League to League, though the changes are always hard to miss. They’ve ranged from undead criminals that hound players, to cracks opening up in the ground, spewing out hordes of nasty abyssal creatures. And while the Leagues are temporary, they also serve as testbeds for experimentation, introducing new features that become mainstays.

Free for real
In our original review, Tom called the free-to-play model “wonderfully generous,” and it’s only become more generous since launch. Not one expansion or feature costs money, while the in-game shop’s only item that isn’t purely cosmetic just expands the size of your already large stash. If you don’t want to spend a dime, there are few games that offer this much.


While free players are very well catered to, those willing to part with their cash might be a bit more disappointed. Cosmetic armour sets, for instance, can set you back as much as $45, though you can usually find a couple of sets on sale for around $20. If you just want a bit of flair, however, like an ominous glow, those are often around $10. Though pricey, it’s comparable to other microtransaction shops, but given the excellent value elsewhere in Path of Exile, it’s a shame you can’t get more bang for your buck here.
