While Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game, it doesn’t fully fit the traditional RPG mold. It has choices and character building, similar to action-RPGs, but it’s less free-form than games like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Fallout: New Vegas. Those western-style RPGs, inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, really emphasize player freedom, letting you create your own story within the game’s world. You’re usually limited by the overall adventure and how the game is played – you can’t typically ignore the main story to start a business, for example. However, Nivalis lets you do just that, making it surprisingly more engaging than some of its competitors.

This scene perfectly embodies the sequel. While still wild, rough around the edges, and generally lighthearted, High on Life 2 has a surprising amount of depth. The game tells a genuinely engaging story that changes based on your decisions, features improved acting from both new and returning characters, and adds exciting new ways to get around, like skateboarding, which makes both fighting and exploring much more fun. It’s a bigger, funnier, and more ambitious game than the original, even if it’s not perfect.

Hearing the name Neopets often brings back fond childhood memories. It reminds many of coming home from school and spending time on their computers caring for their virtual pets. While Neopets originally launched in 1999, it’s still around today – and after more than 25 years, it’s become much more than just a simple website game.

Okay, so I’m facing a seriously tough decision in this game. I’ve been a Bounty Hunter for most of the original High on Life, and now I have to choose between following the Hunter’s code and killing Lizzie, or betraying everything I’ve known and helping her. It’s messed up because people actually look up to me as a Hunter way more than I even care about my sister! The whole point of this new mission is to rescue Lizzie and take down the Bounty Hunters, but I’m really curious what would happen if I just… went against everything and killed Lizzie like the Hunters want. Would the story actually change? Or is there some other consequence I haven’t thought of yet?

I’ve been following the theories about Loki’s powers for ages, and it’s finally confirmed! Oda has officially revealed that Loki actually has a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit – a dragon! Honestly, it’s easily one of the most powerful fruits we’ve seen in the story. We don’t know everything it can do yet, but Oda has already given us a good look at just how incredible this fruit is.

While everything shown was interesting, the biggest highlights of the State of Play were the new game announcements coming out this year or in the near future. Games like John Wick and Project Windless generated a lot of buzz, though they didn’t have confirmed release dates. However, several other games shown did announce 2026 release dates, or promised to launch within the next 10 months.

Following a two-week extension of Version 3.8, Honkai: Star Rail released its 4.0 update on February 12th. This update introduces Yao Guang, the first character in the game who uses the ‘Elation’ Path, with Sparxie arriving later in the update. Players will encounter both characters in Planacardia, the newest area to explore. The game also revealed that Ashveil, Nihilux, and Evanescia will be added in future updates, along with new playable versions of Silver Wolf and Blade. To help players collect these characters, Honkai: Star Rail has released codes for free in-game currency, Stellar Jades.
