Following a period of doing well, 2K released the poorly received WWE 2K20 in 2019. The game was met with such strong negative feedback that 2K essentially paused the series. Instead of releasing WWE 2K21 the next year, they chose to take more time developing the next main game to make sure it was better. While there wasn’t a new main WWE 2K game in 2020, WWE 2K Battlegrounds was released as an alternative.
It’s interesting – despite all the incredibly popular anime out there, none have actually earned a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. That honor surprisingly goes to the 2017 film, Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale. As someone following the series, I found it neat that the movie fits right between seasons two and three of the Sword Art Online anime. It’s still getting praise for its unique story, beautiful animation, exciting action, and the thought-provoking idea of how much we depend on technology.

As a big fan, here’s how I understand Martial Arts in the game: they’re basically special moves you unlock and then assign to specific button combinations in the customization menu. Most of them you get by leveling up your character’s Style or weapon skills. But there’s also a cool type called Crucible Arts – you earn those by mastering the special Crucible weapons. It’s a really neat system for tailoring your combat style!

Lots of new first-person shooter (FPS) games have come out recently, offering both online multiplayer and engaging single-player campaigns. And there are even more on the way, with plenty scheduled to be released before the end of the year.
The recent remakes of Resident Evil use a rendering technique called ray tracing, which creates realistic lighting effects by simulating how light behaves in the real world – bouncing off objects, creating shadows, and passing through glass. This aims for a highly realistic look. Path tracing takes this a step further by more accurately calculating how light interacts with everything, mimicking real-world physics. A good example of path tracing in action is the visual upgrade seen in Cyberpunk 2077.
