For over a year now, the 1.6 update of Stardew Valley, featuring novel items, festivals, and enhanced graphics, has been available across all gaming platforms.

The majority of Metroidvania games are either set in fantastical or science fiction worlds, with a handful straddling both genres. To build excitement for the upcoming release of Hollow Knight Silksong, which has generated much anticipation, let’s explore some of the finest fantasy-themed Metroidvania games. We will evaluate each game not only by how effectively they utilize their fantasy settings but also by assessing the overall gaming experience.

During the latter part of August, a unique occasion arises where multiple free offerings align, allowing PC gamers to stock up on some enjoyable games at no charge for their collections. Excitingly, more complimentary games are scheduled to arrive shortly, with services like the Epic Games Store already unveiling its first week of September’s freebies. In the meantime, enthusiasts can relish the remaining August giveaways.

It’s astonishing to observe how far video game graphics have come with recent technological advancements. These days, the visuals in many games are breathtakingly stunning, offering an immersive experience for enthusiasts who appreciate the otherworldly beauty found within them.

Generally speaking, Microsoft tends to remove titles from its subscription library every two weeks – once at the start and once in the middle. The most recent update to this rotating catalog occurred on August 16, during which Xbox Game Pass parted ways with three games: Anthem, Farming Simulator 22, and Persona 3 Reload.

A considerable number of top-notch games within their respective genres offer not just intricately designed adversaries to battle, but also a vast array of foes with diverse characteristics.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been following an extraordinary journey titled “Kaiju No. 8” (or “Monster #8” in English). Originally a Japanese manga series penned by the talented Naoya Matsumoto, it was later transformed into an anime. This epic tale unfolded over five years on Shonen Jump+, concluding in July 2024, and is also available in English on Manga Plus and through Viz Media.

The narrative revolves around me, or rather Kafka Hibino – a character who acquires the extraordinary ability to transform into a colossal creature known as kaiju. Using this power, he bravely takes on other kaiju. With an acclaimed anime adaptation under its belt and over 18 million manga copies in circulation worldwide, it’s no surprise that the series was greenlit for a video game adaptation, simply titled “Kaiju No. 8 The Game”, announced in June 2024. I can hardly contain my excitement for this new chapter in the Kaiju No. 8 universe!
