Pros
Pro Not pay to win
The developers have a strict "no pay to win" mindset on this game. Which is GREAT since everyone has a fair chance at winning. The only in-game purchases are decorative, extra stash slots, non combat pets and better graphics for your weapons.
Pro Completely free to download and play
Just install steam and download the game. No purchase required and the only thing locked behind paywalls is cosmetic accessories and inventory slots of which you can waste money on cosmetics, but you won't fall behind if you don't want to spend money.
Pro Expansive skill tree
While it may be difficult to take in at first the skill tree in Path of Exile is quite expansive allowing for many areas of the characters skills to be customized. The tree is so large there are numerous guides online on how to build specific optimized characters as well as an unofficial companion app for Android.
Cons
Con Graphics are a bit ho-hum
While not the worst, the graphics do not really stand out as polished and look somewhat dated. While it does fit within theme of being a grimy universe with many foul creatures, it does not compare to many AAA dungeon crawlers out there such as Diablo III.
Con As any ARPG worth mentioning, you'll eventually have to invest time into character builds
Con Rubberbanding disrupts play
Online play with melee classes may lead to some "rubberbanding" when latency causes the player's computer to desync from the server.
