Watching anime now, it’s clear how much Dragon Ball shaped so many of the popular action series we enjoy. For almost 40 years, it’s had a massive impact on anime and manga as a whole.

Embark Studios has shown it pays attention to what players want and isn’t afraid to make changes based on feedback. Past updates to ARC Raiders demonstrate the team actively follows community discussions and responds to suggestions or concerns.

The first game was a bold experiment, combining slow-paced exploration with unique online features that focused on cooperation rather than competition. Many doubted a game centered around a delivery person would be successful, but Death Stranding received largely positive feedback, won numerous awards, and led to the creation of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach in 2025. This demonstrated that even unusual and unconventional concepts can be both popular and influential.

Role-playing games, or RPGs, usually let you create your own character. This comes from their history in tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, which are fun because you get to become a hero and experience an adventure while defining who that hero is.

By 2025, PlayStation Plus had become a leading subscription service. For a long time, Xbox Game Pass was more popular thanks to its lower price and the fact that new games were often available on it from day one. However, Game Pass had a difficult year.

PlayStation Plus Premium, at $18 a month, and the more affordable PlayStation Plus Extra, at just $15, offered compelling value. In 2025, PlayStation Plus Extra, in particular, provided a lot of content for its $15 monthly price.
