The *Battlefield* series became a legendary first-person shooter franchise with the release of *Battlefield 1942* in 2002, and has consistently been a major competitor to *Call of Duty*. However, the series took a significant hit in 2021 with the poor launch of *Battlefield 2042*. While critics gave the game mixed reviews, the *Battlefield* community strongly disliked it, even making it the lowest-rated game on Steam for a time. Players criticized the game for performance problems, the lack of features found in older *Battlefield* titles (like a server browser and scoreboard), and the decision to move away from traditional character classes in favor of specialists.

Originally launched on the Nintendo 3DS in 2014, *Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy* quickly became a fan favorite and was later brought to the Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2019. This collection includes the first three *Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney* games – released in 2001, 2002, and 2004 – all with updated graphics and improvements to make gameplay smoother. Now, players on all platforms can expect even more enhancements to be released soon.

Okay, so 2025 had some *seriously* tough game launches, and I’m curious which ones really gave players a headache. I want to know which games were brutal at first, and whether the developers managed to smooth things out with updates. I’m looking for the most challenging console and PC titles from that year – either for those of us who love a real test, or just to commiserate with others who struggled!

Launched alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 in June, *Mario Kart World* was the system’s biggest hit at release. Critics gave the game positive reviews, particularly highlighting its fun gameplay and expansive open world, and it currently has an average score of 87 on OpenCritic.

To start strong in *Sonic CrossWorlds* and get a speed boost, players need to accelerate at the beginning of the race. The boost you receive depends on where the meter lands when the countdown finishes. If it’s in the green zone, you’ll get a boost. But if you accelerate too early and hit the red zone, your car will stall.

So, EA’s doing this cool event called ‘Forever Friends’ to get us hyped for the next *Sims 4* expansion pack! Basically, it’s all about imaginary friends and how to keep them around longer in the game. They’re giving us rewards and quests focused on that, which is awesome because I’m really into building relationships with those little guys!

While many characters like Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Broly have become central figures, Goku is arguably the true main character of the entire Dragon Ball series. The story began with him – a young, orphaned boy who grew into a powerful protector of the universe – and the franchise wouldn’t exist without his initial journey.

Capcom is making a splash at Tokyo Game Show this week with its own presentation, revealing new details and upcoming games. The showcase began with a fresh look at the intriguing action game, *Pragmata*. Fans also got a good look at what’s coming for popular franchises like *Resident Evil Requiem*, *Onimusha*, and *Monster Hunter*. Capcom also highlighted one of its long-running series during the event.
