Unfortunately, many fantasy anime from the 2000s didn’t live up to their potential. Instead of being captivating and imaginative, they often felt confusing and underwhelming, failing to create a truly magical experience. While the decade had some excellent fantasy shows, it also produced a number of disappointments.
Following the release of the Switch 2, Nintendo has been consistently releasing updates to improve how older Switch games perform on the new console. While some games from the original Switch had issues running on the Switch 2, Nintendo has addressed these with numerous compatibility updates. Recently, a significant upgrade was added, letting players enjoy their original Switch games in docked mode while using the Switch 2’s handheld capabilities. And now, even more games are receiving helpful fixes to ensure a smooth experience.
I’m really enjoying Retro Rewind! It’s like other business sims where you get to build something from nothing, but this one lets you run a video rental store – which is such a fun idea. Basically, you’re trying to create the best store possible, and it’s not just about the business side. There are all sorts of systems to learn and surprises along the way, but it’s also really relaxing because you can customize everything and just focus on building your dream shop. It’s a great mix of challenging gameplay and laid-back fun.
Capcom has consistently delivered excellent combat in its Resident Evil games, allowing players to effectively fight the creatures created by the evil Umbrella Corporation. Whether it’s the classic titles like Code: Veronica and Resident Evil 3, which are standouts, or more recent games like the Resident Evil 2 remake with its focus on polished shooting, the series has become known for strong gameplay. More recently, Resident Evil Requiem, released in 2026, attempted to innovate and take the franchise in a new direction.
Pokemon Pokopia focuses on Ditto, the Pokemon known for its ability to transform. Since the very beginning of the Pokemon series with Red and Blue (or Green in Japan), Ditto has been a fan favorite thanks to its simple, endearing smile. Interestingly, even when transforming into other Pokemon, Ditto often keeps this signature smile – despite being called the ‘Transform Pokemon,’ which suggests it should perfectly mimic whatever it copies. However, this cute quirk gives Ditto a unique identity while using its powers, so it’s fitting that Pokopia continues to include it.
While My Hero Academia is a fantastic anime, it builds upon the foundations laid by earlier, classic shonen series. These older shows not only defined the genre, but continue to inspire modern anime like MHA, influencing its storytelling, characters, and world-building – and MHA generally maintains a similar level of quality without surpassing them.
Chapter 1177 of One Piece gave each of the Straw Hat Pirates a chance to really stand out, which fans have been hoping for. The chapter showed Zoro battling the Domi Reversi army alongside other giants, with everyone contributing to the fight. Zoro even debuted a new attack, but the other members of the crew arguably had an even bigger impact.
Back in 2020, Mojang surprised us all with Minecraft Dungeons – a totally different way to play Minecraft! Instead of building, it’s an action-packed dungeon crawler where you explore the familiar Minecraft world and fight monsters. Basically, you’re running around, slashing baddies in that classic pixelated style, all to take down this big bad guy called the Arch-Illager. They’ve kept adding tons of new stuff to it since launch – new dungeons, weapons, you name it. And now, Mojang just announced that Minecraft Dungeons is coming back, which is awesome!
Players who’ve tried Crimson Desert have found the controls difficult to manage. Many actions require pressing several buttons at the same time, which feels clunky and frustrating. Using a mouse and keyboard makes the game easier to control because it provides better access to the buttons and allows players to customize the key bindings.
Many consider Silent Hill 2 to be a masterpiece, not just within the Silent Hill series, but as one of the greatest survival horror games ever made – and even one of the best video games of all time. Its haunting music, incredibly unsettling atmosphere, and emotionally complex story have inspired countless other games. Even today, players are drawn back to the eerie, fog-filled world of Silent Hill 2 to experience its scares and memorable moments. It’s no surprise, then, that fans are constantly finding new ways to celebrate the game, like one creative individual who recreated iconic scenes using LEGOs.
