Open-World Games Where You’re Insignificant

What makes games like this so enjoyable is the feeling of overcoming difficult challenges and exceeding expectations. Many gamers relish a tough fight when the odds are stacked against them. This idea of an unlikely hero rising to greatness is a classic trope, seen in stories like The Lord of the Rings, and it clearly resonates with people – even if it doesn’t appeal to everyone. If you’re looking for a game where you can experience that journey from underdog to hero, these are the games to play.

One of the Best Day One Xbox Game Pass Games of Last Year is Getting Major DLC

As a huge Xbox fan, I’ve been consistently impressed with Game Pass. It’s just such a great value for getting access to so many games! What really sets it apart from PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online, for me, is that Microsoft puts some of their biggest new releases on Game Pass right when they come out. I’m especially excited about playing Forza Horizon 6 and Fable without having to buy them separately! They’ve already announced a bunch of games coming in March 2026, and at least one will be available on day one. Plus, it’s awesome that they include older, classic games too – it’s a great way to rediscover some of the best games ever made!

Unlike traditional turn-based combat, battles in Voidling Bound are action-packed and happen in real time, requiring players to aim weapons, dodge attacks, and work together with their adorable alien companions.

Bitwise Bets Big on Staking: Chorus One Acquisition Causes Chaos!

Bitwise, a San Francisco-based crypto asset manager with $15 billion in assets (or “digital gold” if you’re feeling poetic), has acquired Chorus One, a staking provider with $2.2 billion in staked assets. The deal folds Chorus One into Bitwise Onchain Solutions, a division that now sounds less like a tech startup and more like a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare.
