Several times a year, Overwatch 2 asks a small group of players for their feedback on potential hero skins through surveys. These surveys often include concept art for many different designs. Some of these ideas, like the Floral Dreams skins that came out in Overwatch 2 Season 18, are eventually added to the game.
These games aren’t entirely without merit – the gameplay, story, or music might actually be enjoyable. However, they’re best known for being hilariously bad, but in a fun way. This ranking will consider both how good (or bad) they are and their influence on gaming as a whole.
Since launching in July 2016, Pokemon GO has consistently added new Pokemon to its collection. Although the game doesn’t include all Pokemon, it boasts hundreds for players to catch. However, with so many already added, Scopely is starting to run low on Pokemon to include. For instance, they’ve added all available Pokemon from the first three generations. Luckily, newer regions like Galar and Paldea still have plenty of creatures that can be added to the game.
A recent update to Pokemon Legends: Z-A addressed a key issue with shiny Pokemon hunting by removing the ability to manipulate spawn points, which could create uncertainty with future updates. However, all updates have focused on improving the game. Patch 2.0.1 finally removes a limit on Mega Shards, a problem that existed since the game’s release and became more noticeable with the downloadable content. This fix addresses a long-standing frustration for players.
The new Fable game from Playground Games was the main focus of the Xbox Developer_Direct presentation on January 22, 2026. After the presentation, Ralph Fulton, who founded Playground Games, discussed the game’s development with Xbox Wire.
Season 2 of Battlefield 6 needs to attract players who have stopped playing, and there are several ways to do that. Players are asking for things like a map featuring naval combat, collectible ribbons, and a more rewarding battle pass. Most importantly, the game would really benefit from larger maps designed around vehicle combat, and bringing back a popular map from the past. Sadly, Season 2 doesn’t quite deliver on either of those key areas, even though it came close, which is concerning for the future of the game.
The game experienced difficulties after its release in July 2025, and as a result, an unspecified number of employees have been laid off.
Since launching on January 13th, Hytale has already received updates for players with early access. The first update added dinosaurs like the T-Rex, Triceratops, and Pterodactyl, but players had to find a volcanic area to encounter them. Update 1 also improved the game’s crafting system, making it faster to create leather and easier to upgrade your backpack at the beginning of the game.
As a big fan of Hytale, I’ve been following their plans after launch, and honestly, it’s a little unclear what’s coming next. They’re talking about a revamped world generation system in a few months, and a proper Adventure mode with quests is planned for a few years down the line. But beyond that, it sounds like the developers at Hypixel Studios really want to listen to what the community wants before making big decisions. I’m hoping they’ll share a more detailed roadmap soon, but they might just surprise us with updates whenever they have something cool! One thing players have been asking for since the game was first announced is something like Redstone from Minecraft. However, the founder of Hypixel recently hinted that adding a system like that is just too much work right now. While I can see why some people are disappointed, I personally don’t think Redstone is that important. I also don’t believe it should be a top priority, considering the kind of game Hytale is aiming to be.
Double Fine’s newest game, Keeper, is a unique and atmospheric platformer. It tells a story without any spoken dialogue and features an unlikely duo: a walking lighthouse and its pelican companion. Released on October 17th for Xbox Series X/S and PC, Keeper was followed just three months later by the announcement of Double Fine’s next project – a game that appears to be a departure from their previous work.
