For the popular isometric Action RPG Path of Exile, the past year 2022 can be generally called successful. Of course, quite serious problems have arisen more than once, but despite this, not every game can boast of such active support.
The developers decided to remember how 2022 went for Path of Exile and presented a detailed retrospective. We publish the entire list under the spoiler without changes:
