Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, rarely lets characters stay dead. Instead of permanent deaths, he often uses fake-outs. No matter how final or sad a character’s apparent demise, Oda always finds a surprising way to bring them back.

Honestly, what I love about these games is how tough they are! It’s so satisfying when you finally overcome a really hard challenge. There have been amazing examples of this kind of gameplay throughout gaming history – things like the ‘Souls’ series really nailed it.

What really sets My Lil Afterlife apart is its strong resemblance to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but permanently set in a Halloween-like atmosphere. It takes the relaxing, comforting gameplay of that style of game, incorporates elements from New Horizons, and then layers it all with a spooky, yet charming, vibe. My Lil Afterlife is clearly designed to give Animal Crossing fans a completely new experience that goes beyond what seasonal events in New Horizons can provide.

The gameplay in God of War: Sons of Sparta is presented as a story Kratos tells his daughter, Calliope, about his and his brother Deimos’s upbringing and their understanding of duty. While this connects to Kratos’s history and shows a new side of his character – his past – the game suffers from feeling disconnected from the original Kratos, despite being narrated by the same voice actor, TC Carson. This is compounded by the game’s simplistic graphics. While visuals aren’t everything, God of War: Sons of Sparta’s basic art style isn’t just a flaw; it significantly impacts the overall experience.

The incredibly popular manga series Jujutsu Kaisen was a huge success for Weekly Shonen Jump, and its ending in 2024 noticeably impacted the magazine’s readership. Thankfully, the original creator, Gege Akutami, returned with a sequel called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.
