The recent Flashpoint update for ARC Raiders brought significant changes to the game. It introduced a new map condition called Close Scrutiny, along with new weapons like the Dolabra energy shotgun. Players can now encounter a unique in-game event on maps affected by Close Scrutiny, where they must extract loot from a new device called the Assessor. This is complicated by the Vaporizer, a new and challenging enemy. To add to the challenge, Shredders, previously limited to Stella Montis, have spread to all other maps.

If a new Sonic game is made, familiar faces like Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and even Dr. Robotnik could join Sonic on his next adventure. Staying true to the series’ history might also include brief or recurring appearances from other characters. However, the franchise has introduced a lot of new characters since Sonic first appeared in 1991, and some of them haven’t been well-received. Certain characters were either unpopular or didn’t fit the Sonic universe, which ultimately hurt how fans perceived the games they were in.

When it comes to manga, One Piece is widely considered the greatest. Its consistently high quality surpasses that of any other series, thanks to its amazing world-building, well-developed characters, and rich backstory.

Honestly, I’d rather spend my time playing games I enjoy, but a friend – a huge Resident Evil fan – convinced me to play through the entire series, all the main games and remakes. He’s written up detailed thoughts on everything, which you can check out if you’re interested. I was curious to see what I thought as someone who didn’t grow up with these games, and I’d love to hear your opinions too! I’d only played a few before this: Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 when I was younger, and more recently the remakes of 2, 3, and 4. Everything else was brand new to me.

Fans of classic fantasy strategy are in for a treat! Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era will be available on Steam Early Access starting April 30th. The game aims to recapture the feel of the beloved third installment, but with updated features, a fresh art style, and modern improvements. It’s shaping up to be a major release this month, and early previews (like the one I saw in September 2025) were incredibly promising.

To be honest, I still have some reservations about the Nintendo 64 controller, even after using it for years. However, I got used to it because so many fantastic games were exclusive to that console. Ultimately, it was worth it – the N64 had a huge impact on gaming, and many of its games were truly excellent.

Early on, players found a lot of success with combinations like Cassidy, Soldier: 76, and Reinhardt when using the Jetpack Cat ability. Cassidy worked well because of the already popular “Sky Noons” strategy, where the cowboy teams up with Lifeweaver to launch into the air and target enemies. Jetpack Cat made this even easier. Similarly, a Soldier: 76 using his Tactical Visor while flying, and a Reinhardt flanking with Earthshatter were both very strong. However, it’s now becoming clear that Orisa and Jetpack Cat are the most effective combination.

For years, consoles have struck a balance between powerful performance and reasonable price, making them a more affordable option than high-end gaming PCs. However, this balance is now threatened, and the traditional console model could be changing. Sony’s recent price increase for the PlayStation 5 highlights these concerns. While consoles used to become cheaper over time, current economic issues – like limited parts availability, taxes on imports, and rising inflation – are actually driving prices up. Instead of focusing on keeping costs low to attract more players, companies like Sony seem to be preparing for a future where consoles will be more expensive to buy upfront.

The underground dungeon featured in the fourth season of TenSura is expected to be the most challenging one seen in any isekai anime airing in the spring of 2026. While Rimuru Tempest is powerful enough to easily clear it himself, that’s not true for other characters.
