Depuis que plus d’ordres sommeillent en dessous du prix actuel, il semblerait que le SPX a davantage envie de faire une chute qu’une ascension, si le liquide décide de jouer le rôle du maître de cérémonie dans cette pièce boursière. D’ailleurs, la scène est prête pour un drame? 🎭

As a big Xbox fan, I’ve been following the updates closely, and 2025 has already brought some great improvements! They’ve been working on making online play more reliable, fixing issues with saving my games, and even letting me access games from other stores through the Xbox app on my PC.

Launching on both Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus from day one helped Blue Prince reach a large audience, though it likely would have become popular through recommendations alone. It’s become one of the best-reviewed new games of 2025, earning nominations for Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie at The Game Awards. Despite its success, the developer doesn’t seem interested in making a sequel.

Many roguelite games earn player respect and keep them engaged by offering rewards even after a run ends. These rewards might seem small at first, but they add up over time, creating a satisfying sense of progress. Let’s look at some examples of well-designed progression systems that other games can learn from.

Sometimes you might complete a mission feeling like a ghost, never engaging in combat, while other times a single player’s actions can unexpectedly end your run.

While Boruto has featured some exciting storylines, none have reached the same epic scale as the best arcs from the original Naruto series. Arcs like the Fourth Great Ninja War and the Pain arc are widely considered to be the highlights of the entire franchise, and some of the best in anime history.

The popular Assassin’s Creed video game franchise has been a success since its launch in 2007, offering exciting action and compelling stories throughout different historical periods. While a 2016 film starring Michael Fassbender received poor reviews, Netflix and Ubisoft are now collaborating on a live-action Assassin’s Creed series. Several series are reportedly in development, but progress seems promising on at least one of them, as announced earlier this year.

For years, Gearbox has given players in-game gifts through SHiFT codes. You can use these codes to get cosmetic items or Golden Keys, which you then use on Golden Chests to find powerful loot. Golden Chests are often the most reliable way to earn Legendary items in Borderlands 4, so those keys are really useful. Plus, the loot you get is always appropriate for your current level, making it a quick way to improve your gear.
