Okay, so these recent ARPGs really get it. They might not all have the most epic stories ever told – though a few definitely try! – but what they all do amazingly well is create these incredible worlds. I’m talking deep, detailed backgrounds, interesting characters you actually care about, and tons of lore to dig into. Seriously, the world-building in these games is some of the best I’ve ever seen in an ARPG, and it makes the settings feel truly legendary.

The exact events are unclear, and Tolkien’s writing itself suggests rumors circulated about what truly occurred. One story claims Drogo attempted to dunk Primula in the water, but she retaliated by pulling him in with her. Though quickly denied, this tale creates enough uncertainty to fuel further questions and theories.

Many Pokémon remain overlooked, and usually this is because they have weak stats, poor moves, unhelpful abilities, unfavorable types, or a combination of these issues. For instance, while I personally love Joltik, it’s unlikely to ever be a strong competitor in battles. Some basic-form Pokémon in Pokemon Champions, like Clefairy and Dusclops, could potentially shake up the competitive scene, but it doesn’t seem like they’ll be added anytime soon. This demonstrates that a Pokémon doesn’t need to be fully evolved to be powerful, but being unevolved doesn’t automatically make it weak either.

It makes sense that Roger, living through such a chaotic era and reaching the end of the world, was incredibly strong. He achieved this power using only his Haki. However, many characters in One Piece have Devil Fruits that make them comparable to the Pirate King in strength, so let’s take a look at who those characters are.

The upcoming Netflix series is still some time away, with the main cast just announced. There’s a lot of excitement for Scooby-Doo from people who grew up watching the classic animated movies and live-action films, and they’re eager for more adventures with the lovable talking dog. This suggests the Netflix adaptation could be very successful. However, another classic Scooby-Doo story, the video game Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights, also deserves to be adapted for a wider audience.

In the spring 2026 anime season, Re:Zero stands out as a particularly strong isekai series, known for its unique and often intense storyline. The show follows Natsuki Subaru, a character who repeatedly faces hardship and danger in the world of Lugunica, constantly battling unpredictable enemies and never truly experiencing a permanent death.

With several games already released and more on the way, 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for gaming. We’ve already seen Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster come to PC and Xbox, and the exciting action JRPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is coming soon. Let’s take a look at what other games are currently available or on the horizon.

Even popular and well-loved shonen anime sometimes have truly awful episodes. These can be filler that doesn’t add to the story, unnecessary recaps of previous events, or just episodes that are boring and don’t really accomplish anything. For example, One Piece has several recap episodes that make its already uneven pacing even worse, while Naruto and Bleach are filled with filler that feels like a waste of time. Other weak episodes attempt something meaningful but ultimately fail to deliver.

Crema, a game studio based in Spain, created Temtem in 2022, and it’s still considered one of the best creature-collecting games like Pokemon. In 2023, they released Temtem: Showdown, a free-to-play battle game where players compete against each other without any in-game purchases. Most recently, in 2024, they launched Temtem: Swarm, a fast-paced action game inspired by Vampire Survivors.

That leads to a really interesting question: what are the most memorable kills in the Scream movies? With seven films, there are plenty of gruesome deaths to choose from – from Casey Becker to Tatum Riley, it’s surprisingly difficult to pick the best. It’s even harder if you think some killers, like Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), might still be out there!
