Subnautica 2 puts you back on an alien planet, but this time it’s almost entirely covered in water. You’ll start with very few supplies and need to work hard to collect resources, build tools and bases, and explore the massive ocean. And it is massive – bigger and more impressive than both the original Subnautica and its spin-off, Below Zero.
Though it might seem dated now, GoldenEye 007 was groundbreaking when it came out. Taking cues from PC games like Doom and Quake, GoldenEye moved the first-person shooter genre towards a more realistic and story-focused style. It’s based on the Pierce Brosnan Bond movie, so it emphasizes engaging gameplay and narrative more than purely fast-paced action, unlike Doom. A major reason for GoldenEye‘s lasting popularity was its fantastic multiplayer mode, which kept players coming back for years. Overall, it’s widely regarded as one of the most important and influential shooters ever made. However, when you consider its impact on Bond games specifically, it’s clear how much it changed the formula.

According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Wizards of the Coast cancelled an unannounced Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure game being developed by Giant Skull. This decision was likely due to a company-wide restructuring at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro’s cancellation of their publishing agreement with Giant Skull, which happened about a year after the game was first revealed.

Lords of the Fallen 2 is the newest installment in the Lords of the Fallen series, continuing the story after the 2023 reboot. While the first reboot received mixed initial reactions, it gained a dedicated following over time thanks to ongoing updates. A key reason for the series’ continued popularity is its unique gameplay, which allows players to travel between two different worlds. This strong interest led Epic Games to offer CI Games a publishing deal in 2024, making Lords of the Fallen 2 exclusively available on the Epic Games Store on PC for as long as the game is sold. Epic Games often makes similar deals with game developers for exclusive PC releases, a practice that some PC gamers dislike because it limits where they can purchase games.
