Dispatch is my second favorite game of 2025. In a year full of sequels and big-budget titles, it stood out as something truly new and exciting. It’s a really fun game thanks to its unique episodic format, clever writing, and interesting take on the superhero genre. But what I really loved about Dispatch was its memorable characters.
While exploring Itzaland, be sure to check out the local fish! Some are key ingredients for crafting rare outfits, like the coveted Providence Immemorial Miracle Outfit, so it’s helpful to know where they all live.
Many classic games have aged significantly, with their original genre conventions feeling outdated. Some, especially those from the early days of 3D graphics, look very different today – often appearing as simple, blocky shapes with awkward camera controls. Despite being masterpieces and defining games of their genres, revisiting these titles in their original state can be a challenge.
It’s annoying to have to constantly run back and forth for items, especially when you can only carry one at a time. The My Winter Backpack mod solves this by letting you store up to 10 items directly on your character. You can pick up things like flashlights, food, or tools using the ‘E’ key, and then easily cycle through them to equip and drop as needed. A new menu displays all your stored items, making it especially helpful when repairing or upgrading your vehicle.

While many games draw inspiration from the popular Vampire Survivors, Erosion seems to also take cues from Arkane Lyon’s Deathloop. Deathloop is known for its unique premise: players control characters like Colt who are stuck repeating the same day over and over. To escape this time loop, players must eliminate eight targets within a single day, which demands careful observation, strategic planning, efficient execution, and a thorough understanding of the game world. Erosion approaches time manipulation differently – only the player character persists after death, while the world jumps forward ten years – but it’s clearly becoming a key element of the game.
What forces are driving this rise, and how do analysts view VIRTUAL’s outlook for 2026? Perhaps the same forces that made a sock puppeteer a billionaire?
