Game Candy – Path of Exile

Path of Exile

[ Game Candy celebrates just how cool games look, by bringing you choice snaps from interesting moments in games. ]

Above is a moment from the Free To Play action RPG Path of Exile, in which a Templar is using Leap (while being imbued with an Aura of Anger) to close the gap between him and a bundle of skeleton archers.

Path of Exile has a very dark, realistic, gritty look. The developers intentionally went for the moody, Gothic vibe, because they were “sick of the recent trend towards bright, cartoony RPGs”. A not-so-subtle jab at Diablo III and Torchlight II.
