Games like Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising

Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players like the deep build and gear systems in a well-paced idle game, but many find stats opaque and the late game too easy or grindy.

Many players enjoy the layered progression: teams of heroes, gear that can be min-maxed, and a variety of builds that reward experimentation while the team fights on its own. Several say it balances active tinkering with idle time well, and that the art, music and offline rewards suit busy players. Complaints centre on the stat system, which many find confusing with little explanation of what scales with what, and on loot that piles up faster than the interface can handle. Some players say the game is soft-locked at several bosses, waiting for resources, and that later patches made the content too easy. Others point to translation errors and a crowded UI. Among players with over 200 hours, some say the mid and end game needs more challenge, while newer players are more often put off by the early stat and gear complexity.

Who it suits

Players who like min-maxing gear and stats in an idle game, and who enjoy tinkering with builds between longer sessions.

Who should skip it

Players who want a casual idle game they can leave running with little attention, or who dislike dense stat sheets and loot management.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with well over 200 hours mostly want more challenge after the finale and more interesting late-game content, while newer players mainly struggle with the early stat and gear complexity.
