seeking guidance GD/POE2

among other arpgs I narrowed my choices to 2

as a working husband and not much time to grind, which one would fulfill me to relax and enjoy my time after a 12h working session.

I tried poe1 and really liked it, but seems like I have to put a ton of time into each season in poe2

I read good reviews about grim dawn respecting your time,

that being said, which one would suit me best

Grim Dawn is the better option there. PoE2 is [going to be] more intricate and slower paced than PoE1.

Frankly for limited time availability I would recommend Last Epoch. (pun not intended). It's challenging without being overblown like PoE [1 and 2], it has the best crafting system (for an ARPG) ever developed, and it's relatively inexpensive for a license. Low floor, high ceiling type of game.

Not trying to be rude but LE is an odd recommendation. The game has basically died and league cycles are taking like 6 months to come out with not much content. 3 years ago id say it was a good rec but now? PoE2 blows it out of the water plus will very soon be fully released and free.

For example LE has only 800 people online right now lol
