Fans of Ninja Gaiden have had a fantastic year, proving that some game series can make a strong comeback even after being absent for a long time. But can other forgotten franchises achieve the same success, or are they destined to remain lost to time? Let’s take a look at a mix of different game types to explore this question.
In the dark world of Jujutsu Kaisen, sorcerers protect people from dangerous curses and those who wield them. These sorcerers are ranked by their power, from Grade 4 (the weakest) to Grade 1, which is considered very strong. Above even Grade 1 is the rare Special Grade, a rank achieved by only a select few incredibly powerful individuals – those said to be capable of taking down an entire country. However, characters like Gojo and Sukuna seem to surpass even that highest ranking.
If you’ve recently finished a particularly difficult game, this one might feel a bit easier. But don’t expect it to be a breeze – you’ll still need to dedicate some time and effort to complete it. While unlocking all the Pantheons will likely be the biggest challenge, gathering everything else will also take a while!
Nintendo has had a busy 2025, holding several Nintendo Direct presentations to keep fans updated. As expected, some of these broadcasts have focused on the Switch 2, which launched in June. Just recently, they showcased Kirby Air Riders with a dedicated Direct, offering a detailed look at Masahiro Sakurai’s new racing game. Now, with the year winding down, Nintendo is gearing up to reveal more about a significant project planned for 2026.
Despite its initial simplicity, ARC Raiders has surprising depth and can take some getting used to. It took me around five or six playthroughs of the early levels before I fully understood the game’s mechanics and objectives.
Critics and players loved the detailed world and compelling story of Horizon Zero Dawn, which led to a whole series of Horizon games praised for its fresh take on robots in a natural setting. The Forest, on the other hand, drops players into a harsh wilderness and challenges them to survive using basic tools, building shelter, and battling terrifying creatures. Elysium combines the strengths of both games, offering a unique cooperative experience with its own spin on the formula.
Even though some players are still unhappy with certain issues, Battlefield 6 has been a huge hit. After the disappointing launch of Battlefield 2042, the series really needed to get back on track, and it looks like EA and Battlefield Studios have done just that. The game quickly sold millions of copies and attracted a large player base on all platforms.
Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is proving to be a huge success, with each new chapter captivating fans more than the last. While some readers were initially unsure about the story, after ten chapters, it’s clear that Modulo is fantastic and will likely continue to improve, particularly now that Gege Akutami has reintroduced a beloved, iconic sorcerer. For months, fans have been speculating about the return of familiar characters in JJK Modulo.
Researchers demonstrate a secure quantum communication system operating at Terahertz frequencies, paving the way for high-bandwidth, unhackable wireless networks.
I’ve noticed a lot of games aren’t just about the story anymore, like Darksiders or Assassin’s Creed. So when people ask for sequels, it feels pretty normal, right? It’s almost expected for those kinds of series to keep going.
