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. Despite the wave of positivity that welcomed the game when it first launched into early…
War Sails, the big naval expansion to Taleworlds’ strategy RPG Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, turned up at the Future Games Show today with a new trailer depicting the arrival of the new viking-inspired Nord faction.

The MSI MPG CoreLiquid P13 360, first and foremost, aims to please in the looks department. It has all the makings of a premium liquid cooler in 2025: a screen, hidden cables, and RGB lighting.
