Manor Lords had a very successful launch into Early Access in April 2024, selling over one million copies on its first day. A lot of excitement had been building for the game on Steam, and that excitement quickly turned into sales. The game continued to improve with regular updates throughout the rest of 2024. But after an update at the end of January 2025, development slowed down and there haven’t been many new announcements for Manor Lords.

The situation in Ghost of Yotei is reminiscent of Jin’s story in Ghost of Tsushima, except without the Mongol invasion. While there are parallels, Ghost of Yotei introduces several neat new features as a sequel. These additions aren’t as groundbreaking as those in the original game, but they’re enjoyable to play with.
Those who enjoy the Naruto series are well aware that Itachi Uchiha was, without a doubt, one of the most skilled ninjas created by Kishimoto. He was an exceptionally powerful ninja, and widely recognized as a prodigy. From a very young age, Itachi Uchiha possessed incredible strength, capable of defeating even experienced Jonin-level ninjas, and his Mangekyo Sharingan made him nearly unbeatable. Even before reaching his peak, Itachi Uchiha was significantly stronger than the renowned Legendary Sannin and most other Konoha shinobi, including some Hokage, which clearly demonstrates his immense power and natural talent.
It’s been 11 years since the original Endless Legend, and AMPLITUDE Studios’ new game is now available in Steam’s Early Access. The initial reaction has been very positive – much like my own when I got a preview. Endless Legend 2 feels very similar to the first game, but with improved visuals and added features. The standout new mechanic is the terraforming system, which lets you create and block pathways, and can really disrupt your strategies. It’s a really neat addition! Some Steam reviews mention that the user interface (UI) feels a little cluttered. While playing the demo, I didn’t find the UI to be a major issue, but I’ll be sure to address this in a more detailed review with a scorecard.
One Piece is widely considered one of the greatest anime and manga series ever created, and its popularity has only grown over time. It’s also become one of the most commercially successful fictional stories of all time. One Piece began in 1997 and has consistently captivated manga readers ever since. Eiichiro Oda crafted a story that has held fans’ attention for decades, but One Piece almost didn’t come to fruition.
Listing these games isn’t just about picking a favorite. It also demonstrates how the development studio and its creative vision have evolved.

As a huge fan, I’ve been absolutely loving the plot twists in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex! It’s been amazing to see some of the side characters, who didn’t get enough attention earlier, really come into their own. And honestly, Sarada Uchiha is one character fans were *dying* to see more of, and the Sunagakure arc delivered! Seeing her battle Ryu and truly push her limits was just incredible.
Performance and Fidelity modes first appeared with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Games like Rise of the Tomb Raider let players pick between playing at 30 frames per second with a 4K resolution, or 60 FPS at 1080p. These graphical options became more common with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, as most major AAA games gave players the choice between faster frame rates or improved graphics. Now, the PlayStation 5 Pro is pushing things even further. Games such as Mafia: The Old Country can now offer Variable Refresh Rate, support for 120Hz displays, and a higher dynamic resolution in both graphical modes.
