When ammunition is limited, combat becomes more strategic – you can’t just shoot at everything. This scarcity also motivates players to thoroughly explore the environment, because finding extra ammo can be the key to survival. Every container, drawer, and hidden area becomes important in the search for the next ammo pack.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a hugely popular action series, both in manga and anime form. Fans are eagerly anticipating the next installment, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, which promises to be a thrilling adaptation of one of the most beloved story arcs.
Earlier this year, Sony reportedly stopped development on two online games. One was a military shooter set in an open world, created by Bend Studio. The other was a multiplayer game based on the God of War series, being made by Bluepoint Games, the team behind the Demon’s Souls remake.
As many fans are likely aware, October 28 is the official start date for Battlefield 6 Season 1.
Okay, so I’m really hyped for ARC Raiders, that extraction shooter coming to PC and the new consoles. The release date is set for October 30th, 2025, and it’s getting closer! Nexon, the company that owns Embark Studios, has been really ramping up the marketing lately. I was listening to the Friends Per Second podcast this past Saturday – episode 81 – and Embark’s Executive Producer, Aleksander Grondal, was on there talking all about it.
While the original Resident Evil is still considered one of the scariest games ever made, many newer titles have surpassed it in terms of fright. These games come from both major franchises and small independent studios, but they all share a common purpose: to deliver truly disturbing and intense experiences.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A features a diverse cast of characters, including both newcomers and familiar faces. Players quickly become involved with Team MZ, meeting either Taunie or Urbain and soon after, Lida and Naveen. The game also brings back AZ, a mysterious character from Pokemon X and Y, who now owns Hotel Z. Other supporting characters, like Mable and Emma, have more prominent roles in this installment. Recently, a fan discovered some animations for Mable that weren’t used in the final game.
More recent Pokémon games have been adding to the experience with downloadable content (DLC) released after the initial game launch. Pokémon Sword and Shield started this trend, with the Isle of Armor released about six months after the main game, followed by the Crown Tundra a few months later. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet also used this approach, releasing the Teal Mask nearly a year after the base game and the Indigo Disk a couple of months after that. Although Pokémon Legends: Arceus didn’t have any DLC, the announcement of an expansion for Pokémon Legends: Z-A before its launch suggests that future DLC might be available sooner.
Recently, screenshots from an unfinished version of the game have appeared online. These images suggest the game would have been a prequel, taking place during the events of the original God of War trilogy.
I often feel overwhelmed starting games that have been around for a while and have a lot of existing content – it’s why I had to make a real effort to get into Destiny 2 before its latest expansion, and why I’m only now considering giving Fallout 76 another try. This fear of falling behind is why I’ve avoided games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. I admire HoYoverse’s ability to create immersive games with compelling characters, but I’ve also seen friends become completely absorbed by them, dedicating all their time and money to those games. As someone who enjoys playing a variety of titles, I worry about the commitment required to catch up on current HoYoverse games. Luckily, Petit Planet seems like a good entry point, as I can start fresh with a HoYoverse title and it also offers something my gaming collection has been missing: a relaxing, life-simulation game similar to Animal Crossing.
