Quite simple.
PoE was not a game to be enjoyed for its systems. As you said, always the same combat tactics, no meaningful choices in any level-up as everything just boils down to +-5% here and there.
Everything just ends up being a huge mess with a dozen %-based effects at the same time becoming little more than background noise.


I played through the game twice for the graphics, audio and story - and to try out a completely different character on the second try.
While combat was at least entertaining enough - not every game has to be super deep and complex.
Sometimes, you're just looking for something to relax with. And I found PoE to be the very definition of "good for what it is" (after all, the combat certainly LOOKS good), so I'd expect part 2 to be an overall improvement.

Maybe there will even be some meaningful build choices? Well, probably not.

Here take these with you for POE2 play through, so that you would not drown in piss creek of complexity.
