    Path of Exile on PS5 (I don't have access to PC/xbox).

    According to the trophies, only 8.8% of players complete Part 1, with 4.4% completing Part 2. For context, Part 1 would take a new player maybe 20 hours, with Part 2 being a tiny bit shorter. Imo the most likely reason for this is new players bricking their characters. PoE is extremely complicated and if you don't know what you're doing you'll build and gear your toon so wrong that you'll get to a point where you can't progress and you don't have any way of fixing it.

    2.3% of players reach level 80, with 0.9% reaching level 90. Context: After completing the campaign you'll be around level 70, getting to 80 isn't difficult, long or hard. Level 90 requires a slight investment of time and effort.

    If you've never played PoE before these stats might seem low, but for people that have played it I'm sure it makes a lot of sense! It does to me anyway.
