Look, I’ve seen a ton of cool (and some not-so-cool) Pearlescent weapons in Borderlands over the years, so it’s not like the Bekah is the only one I’m hoping to see again. Guns like the Avenger SMG were amazing – I loved how it reloaded by throwing itself and bouncing around! And the Butcher shotgun? Seriously powerful, especially with different elemental effects – you could build a whole character around it. But even with all those awesome guns, the Bekah just clicked with me, and that’s why I think a Borderlands 4 Pearlescent collection wouldn’t feel complete without it.
As the show went on, viewers started speculating about which female character might become Ash’s girlfriend. Some fans thought it could be someone he traveled with in the past, like Misty or Dawn. Others wondered if it might be a character from one of the Pokémon movies, such as Bianca or Melody.
I still remember when Stardew Valley first came out in 2016 – it was instantly charming with its cute pixel art! Everyone loved it, both players and critics, because of its heartwarming story, the tons of different things you could do, and all the memorable characters. It quickly became one of the best life-sim games ever made. I was so excited to hear it was coming to the Nintendo Switch 2! There were a few bumps in the road with development, but ConcernedApe has promised they’re working hard to make Stardew Valley: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition the best it can be, and that really puts my mind at ease.

Starfield presents an interesting situation for Bethesda. While critics generally loved the game, praising its massive scope, the player response has been more mixed, even among longtime Bethesda fans. Looking at Steam player numbers, Starfield hasn’t reached the same heights as previous games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim, which still have significantly more players online at any given time. It’s worth remembering that Starfield is also available through PC Game Pass, which impacts the Steam numbers. The game’s player base has also been affected by a slow release of new content; since launching in September 2023, only one major expansion has been released, with another currently in development.
After recent changes in leadership and company direction at Ubisoft, it looks like they’re revitalizing some of their classic series, starting with Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition.
