STS was Java running on libgdx.
STS2 will be C# on Godot.

They wrote this article: https://caseyyano.com/on-evaluating-godot-b35ea86e8cf4
And they released a tech demo as part of the evaluation: https://megacrit.itch.io/dancing-duelists
I believe the acts themselves will be longer and more fleshed out but there's less of them.
6 acts in Path of Exile 2 instead of the 10 acts that PoE1 has.
It's actually an upgraded version of the same engine, and Path of Exile 1 is getting a lot of the new tech backported.
It was originally supposed to replace Path of Exile 1, but now they are going to exist together.
2 will be more refined and slower, with a brand new story and 6 new acts. Should be a fun time.
I didn't enjoy the first one, I am enjoying the second one a lot more. It's not perfect, but the stories are generally better and things feel more polished. It's still an old-school JRPG though.
This game was published and likely almost fully funded by Epic.
I can definitely understand not liking them and not wanting to give them your money, but in this case I think the game wouldn’t exist without their involvement. So it may never see a Steam release, or it will be very delayed.
