The ongoing battle between Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 has sparked debates among fans of the action RPG (ARPG) genre. Both games offer rich narratives, intense combat, and expansive worlds, but one key feature that sets Diablo 4 apart is its removal of item identification—a system still present in Path of Exile 2. While Path of Exile 2 offers many exciting features, the return of the item identification mechanic is an area where Diablo 4 took a more forward-thinking approach.
