Currently, I’m someone who gets deeply focused on specific topics; once something catches my attention, it stays there until I fully understand it. This propensity has led me to explore a wide variety of intriguing and sometimes unconventional games throughout the years, not because they were necessarily popular, but because I found their atmosphere or fundamental gameplay appealing.
In the world of My Hero Academia, it’s remarkable that even though UA High School is known for its stringent standards and the general belief that only those with Quirks can be admitted into the hero course, two students who were naturally Quirkless managed to pass the entrance exams and secure a place in the hero program. This goes against the initial impression given at the start of the series, suggesting that it might not be as impossible as initially thought for someone without a Quirk to join the hero ranks.
In “Star Wars Outlaws”, players once more don human personas, aiming to leave their mark across the galaxy. The narrative unfolds as an expected outlaw-centric journey, offering a nice shift from the numerous Jedi-focused escapades of yore. However, what sets this game apart is the introduction of the unique droid companion ND-5, unlike any character previously featured in Star Wars video games. With Ubisoft now exploring the realm of droids, a future installment could fully embrace this concept.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming release of the Director’s Cut version of Yakuza 0, a gem from the long-running Like a Dragon series developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. Since its debut in 2005, this crime game franchise has been a go-to for intense drama, an engaging open world to explore in Kamurocho, and a plethora of activities that keep me hooked.
The unique blend of beat-’em-up combat with role-playing elements offers a diverse gaming experience, with players taking part in hand-to-hand battles, side quests, and various mini-games like karaoke, darts, and arcade games. Yakuza 0, which first hit the shelves in 2015 as a prequel to the main series, is often hailed as an excellent starting point for newcomers to the franchise.
Now, with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 just around the corner, we’ve received more details about this Director’s Cut version that has me even more pumped! Let’s dive back into the world of Yakuza and see what awaits us in this enhanced edition.
Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong have been enduring a long wait since the game’s announcement in 2019. Each time a Nintendo Direct or Sony State of Play event took place, anticipation built up, but unfortunately, no updates on Hollow Knight: Silksong were shared, leading to continued disappointment.

Approximately eight years since the launch of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo is nearly ready to unveil its eagerly anticipated successor, the Nintendo Switch 2. This upcoming console-handheld hybrid promises a thrilling gaming experience for various types of players. However, the much-loved Zelda series may have a gradual beginning on this platform, with only minor titles slated for release in the system’s inaugural year. Yet, this should not be viewed as unfavorable news, but rather an indicator that the latter part of the system’s lifespan could be even more enticing for Zelda enthusiasts.
Regardless if you’re on Essential, Extra, or Premium tier, the newest selection of games is accessible to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Unlike the libraries offered by the Extra and Premium tiers, freshly added monthly games can be retained as long as your subscription remains active. Conversely, the library of games available with PlayStation Plus changes frequently each month, with titles entering and leaving the service. While new games often join the library, it’s uncertain how long they’ll stay on the platform. For instance, games like Grand Theft Auto 5 tend to appear and disappear regularly, while others remain for extended periods, making it hard to predict how much time players have with a game.
