Today, however, Grinding Gear Games revealed The Third Edict, a huge expansion that has all the makings…
It’s probably fair to say Path of Exile 2’s previous update wasn’t received well. On Steam, reviews were pretty negative—players upset by a series of nerfs that made the game harder, the combat slower and loot more of a grind.
