Man, everyone’s been talking about Crimson Desert since it dropped last month, and for good reason! It’s been a massive hit, selling like crazy. Pearl Abyss really made something special.

Everyone’s already sharing tips and tricks online, which is awesome because it’s making the learning curve way less steep for the rest of us.

It’s easy to find and enjoy classic SNES games today. To give you some great options, here are ten well-regarded SNES classics that are still fun to play and readily available.

Chikorita first appeared in the early Pokemon games, but recently gained renewed attention as a starter Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, released in October 2025. Although Chikorita itself didn’t receive a new form in the game, its final evolution, Meganium, did—it gained a Mega Evolution. This inspired a fan to imagine what a starter-style design for the new Meganium might look like.

AppleTV+ is becoming known for its thrilling shows like Blackbird and Severance, but Slow Horses is a standout. This darkly funny spy series, adapted from Mike Herron’s books, has a clever twist: it follows a group of MI5 agents who’ve been demoted to Slough House and stuck with dull, dead-end jobs. With five seasons and a total of 80 episodes, it offers plenty of suspense for fans of the genre.

Okay, so I’ve been following the news about Crimson Desert, and it’s kinda wild. Apparently, the developers, Pearl Abyss, used AI to create some stuff for the game, but they said it wasn’t supposed to make it into the final version. They’re now working to remove those AI-generated assets, but it’s not just them – a lot of studios are quietly using AI during development. Honestly, gamers are pretty upset about it, but with the economy being so unpredictable and publishers looking to save money, I don’t see this AI thing going away anytime soon. It seems like it’s here to stay, whether we like it or not.

I was so excited when Doki Doki Literature Club finally came to mobile in late 2025, after being out on PC since 2017! It’s a game that really caught everyone off guard – it looks like a cute dating sim, but it quickly turns into something much darker and more intense. It’s been a huge hit with streamers and players because of all the unexpected twists and mature themes. Sadly, it looks like those very themes are now why it’s been taken off the Google Play Store, which is a real bummer.

Though familiar faces like Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, and Snape appear in all eight Harry Potter films, many other characters only show up in one movie. These characters might offer Harry important advice, create danger at Hogwarts, or add depth to the wizarding world, but they each have an impact in just a single film.

Pokémon Champions, a free-to-play strategy game developed by The Pokémon Company, launched on Nintendo Switch on April 8th and is planned for release on mobile devices in 2026.
