ARC Raiders has become a major success, popularizing the extraction shooter genre. Released in late 2025, the game had a fantastic launch and has continued to thrive. Unlike Battlefield 6, which quickly lost most of its players, ARC Raiders has kept an impressive 91% of its initial player base. This is particularly noteworthy for a new game, suggesting it has long-term potential. As a live-service game, its future depends on continued content updates, but currently, ARC Raiders is performing very well.

I’ve chosen these games based on a few key features. They all have to be open-world, meaning you can freely explore a large environment. They also need to include survival elements, like managing hunger, thirst, and building shelter. Finally, they should have some role-playing game (RPG) aspects, at least including character stats and the ability to improve skills. While it’s rare for a game to perfectly meet all these requirements, I’ve allowed some flexibility, particularly with the RPG elements. I’ll be ranking these games based on how well they’ve been received on Steam.

The 2023 version of Resident Evil 4 had big shoes to fill, considering how beloved the 2005 original was. Luckily, the remake was a critical success, quickly becoming the best-selling game in the Resident Evil series. Like other recent Resident Evil remakes, it successfully updated the gameplay while staying true to the spirit of the original. Resident Evil 4 especially impressed players with its deeper exploration of the relationship between Leon and Ashley, and Capcom’s improvements to the often-frustrating escort missions. Interestingly, the game almost featured a completely different opening sequence.

A key part of what makes the indie horror game No, I’m Not a Human so engaging is the difficult choices players face when deciding who to let inside their home. The game forces you to assess whether characters are actually humans or dangerous Visitors, often presenting conflicting clues. Pathologic 3 uses a similar system to build tension and create a haunting atmosphere reminiscent of Silent Hill.

Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen is expected to be one of the most popular anime releases of 2026. After a nearly three-year wait, fans are incredibly excited for its return. This new season will adapt the highly anticipated Culling Game arc, promising plenty of action.

I wasn’t expecting much from the final season of Stranger Things after watching the first part, and especially the second. The show was incredible when it first came out – a perfect blend of science fiction and Dungeons & Dragons that I absolutely loved. But for me, Season 1 was the high point, with only a few moments in Seasons 3 and 4 coming close to that level. I didn’t feel very invested in Season 5, and the finale was ultimately a letdown. It didn’t deliver on its promise of providing closure, and actually left me with even more questions than answers. I was particularly surprised by four specific things that seemed minor at first.
