Reverse: 1999 is a fascinating free-to-play RPG on Steam that blends time travel with a compelling story about how society changes throughout the 20th century. It’s a turn-based game where you control a group of characters, and the battle system is similar to the popular deck-building game Slay the Spire. But it’s more than just a strategy game – it also features a rich narrative with unexpected twists. If you’re looking for a new free game on Steam and want something different from popular titles like Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail, Reverse: 1999 is definitely worth checking out.

While One Piece is already a massive phenomenon and will definitely become even more famous during its final arc, it’s also a little bittersweet knowing that this amazing story is eventually coming to a close.
As a huge Pokémon fan, I’ve been following the Gen 10 leaks, and it’s pretty cool to hear that Game Freak might be planning to use some ideas from Pokémon Legends: Z-A in the next games! Now, things could definitely change since it’s still early in development, but it’s wild to think they were potentially building Gen 10 with Z-A in mind even before it was released. It shows they’re thinking about how everything connects!
