Games

People who grew up with classic consoles like the NES, PlayStation 1, and original Xbox have a unique perspective on older games. While websites like OpenCritic do have scores for retro games, it’s hard for them to truly capture what reviewers thought back in the 80s and 90s because many of those original reviews are gone. Considering this, it’s likely that many of the most beloved games of all time would have received scores of 95 or higher back then.

Throughout the long run of One Piece, the author, Oda, has revealed many impressive powers. However, only two systems truly define strength within the series. The first, Devil Fruits, were introduced right at the start and continue to be a major source of power, even in the latest story arcs. The second is Haki, which has also remained crucial and become even more important as the series progresses.

It’s been a long wait for Metroid Prime 4! Since it was first announced, two other Metroid games have come out: Metroid Dread, which went back to the classic 2D style, and Metroid Prime Remastered, a refreshed version of the original game for the Switch.

Now, Metroid Prime 4 is finally launching on both the Switch and the new Switch 2, and Nintendo is offering a special bonus for those who pre-order.

TikTok has a huge gaming community where creators share info and gameplay footage of everything from the latest releases to old-school favorites and hidden indie gems. A game called Bird Game 3 initially seems like another one of these hidden gems, but players quickly discover it’s actually just a collection of videos created by artificial intelligence.

The Elbaf arc of One Piece has revealed many powerful characters, including the legendary warriors known as the Galleila. They were first mentioned during the Loki flashback, in a conversation between King Harald and Jarul. Though only briefly discussed, it’s clear the Galleila will be significant to the story’s overall plot.

Many of you are probably curious about what The Roottrees are Dead actually is. If you’re already familiar with the game, please help me share it with others – it’s a real hidden gem! And if you’ve enjoyed Roottrees, I’ve added some game recommendations at the end of this post. These are titles I’ve become passionate about throughout the year, and they’re a little different from the usual popular choices like Hollow Knight or ARC Raiders.

Disney is expected to lose around $130 million on its new film, Tron: Ares. The movie has been a significant disappointment, earning far less at the box office than the previous Tron film, Tron: Legacy, which itself wasn’t considered a big success.

In 2024, Core Keeper quickly became a top pick for players looking for a great co-op experience. People love how it combines several fun activities – like digging for resources, building a base, battling creatures, making items, and growing crops – all within a beautiful and mysterious underground world. Reviewers have praised its charming pixel art style and the way it balances relaxing moments with challenging, rewarding gameplay. It’s often compared to popular games like Stardew Valley and Terraria. Core Keeper has already won several awards, and the developers, Pugstorm, are planning even more content with a new version for the upcoming Switch 2 and a future update.
