Here's my thoughts and a quick (by my standards heh) review on how the Playstation 4 is handling POE. Here's as good of a TLDR I can give you if you don't want to watch the video:

PROS
- Surprisingly smooth gameplay once you get used to it
- UI is nice, vendoring/inventory management itself isn't that bad
- Looting can be better than on PC with the right filter strictness
- Loading times (on PS4 Slim, no SSD) seems to be better than GGG told us. Still not great, though (underpresent and get praise, huh?)
- Scalable UI
- Less strain on your hands while playing
- Can actually play the game, while using all skills/buttons with less fingers (I'm actively only using 4)
- Trade market from hideout


CONS
- Can't make your own filter (maybe some "hacking" to change the default filters is possible?)
- Looting is absolutely horrible with the wrong filter strictness
- Loading times (might not be cons on SSD)
- Cannot change keybinds ingame, which means we have to change them in the accessability settings of PS4 which is bad if you play other games too
- Flasking can be horrible
- Trading is going to be hell if you want to buy rare items with specific mods
- FPS Drops (might not be an issue on SSD)
- Crashes quite often
- Getting used to playing on a controller might take a while

Big thanks to Kammell for sponsoring the Playstation 4 for me!
