I’m a huge Borderlands fan, and I’m really bummed that the launch of Borderlands 4 has been dominated by talk of performance problems. From what I’ve seen, everyone agrees the game itself is actually great – the story, the characters, the loot – but even people with top-of-the-line computers are struggling to get a smooth framerate. It’s frustrating! And honestly, I was pretty shocked to see Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford responding to complaints on X by basically telling people to build their own game engine if they think it’s easy. It just doesn’t feel like the right way to handle things when fans are clearly having issues.

Boxing games like *Undisputed* and *Fight Night* are expensive to make, largely because developers have to pay individual, famous boxers to appear in the game. This isn’t an issue for EA’s *UFC* games, since all the fighters are already signed with one organization – the UFC – and EA has a deal with them. However, boxing is more complicated because many different organizations promote fighters, meaning developers like Steel City need to negotiate with each one individually.

Games with unique gameplay often let you build things – structures, vehicles, or even dig underground. These open-world games are incredibly liberating, and players who love to be creative should definitely explore them. Some have already built large, active communities, while others are still growing. But creativity isn’t just about *making* things; some games constantly introduce surprising new features and ideas.

I just saw the first chapter of *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo* drop, and the fanbase is already going wild! Everyone’s zooming in on every little detail in the manga, trying to figure out how this spin-off connects to the original *Jujutsu Kaisen*. We know Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin’s grandkids are the main characters, but a lot of people are really hoping to see familiar faces like Yuji Itadori and Sukuna show up at some point.

While many similar games have come and gone, *Fall Guys* was undeniably a massive hit when it first launched. Though its popularity has decreased somewhat recently, it achieved incredible success early on, even breaking the world record in 2021 as the most downloaded game ever offered with PlayStation Plus. Originally available on PlayStation 4 and PC, *Fall Guys* has since expanded to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.

Many games include enjoyable minigames – often simple puzzles involving logic or numbers – that players need to solve as part of hacking. Here’s a ranking of some of the best open-world games that make you *feel* like a hacker, based on how fun the hacking is and how central it is to the game.

I’m a huge fan of games that really make you *think*, and these ones definitely do! They’re not about rushing in – you’ve got to be careful and plan things out, because mistakes can be seriously costly. We’re talking more than just losing a level; sometimes a bad decision actually changes the whole story in a way you can’t fix. These aren’t just tactical games, they’re experiences where strategy is truly the key to surviving – and shaping – the narrative.

I’ve noticed Eiichiro Oda, the creator of *One Piece*, has often talked about other popular manga, like *Demon Slayer*. It’s actually pretty cool to hear him speak about it, and it turns out he feels the same way about *Demon Slayer* as many of its fans do! He’s a genuine fan himself, and he’s happy to share that, even though *Demon Slayer* is a competitor to his own work.

During an interview with Game Rant, the actors discussed how their character, Jordan Li (played by London Thor and Derek Luh), faces significant challenges in Season 2. Jordan, who identifies as bigender, is released after ten months in a rehabilitation center only to find a world where Homelander has a strong following and hateful slogans like “Down with woke!” are commonplace.
