Since the game came out, many new games inspired by it have pushed the boundaries even further, offering increasingly refined and diverse combat experiences. Some clearly take inspiration from Bloodborne, while others explore unique approaches, proving that difficult and fast-paced gameplay can be achieved in many different ways.
Although Minecraft is known for its unique challenges, Doom from 1993 arguably takes the lead. Over time, players and programmers have pushed the limits by getting Doom to run on unexpected devices – everything from DSLR cameras and medical scanners to thermostats. But playing Doom using only printed screenshots is a particularly unusual feat, even for the Doom challenge community.
In ARC Raiders, you’ll fight ARC enemies and search for valuable loot, all while watching out for other players who might attack. Because you lose everything you’re carrying when you die, exploring the world is risky and requires careful planning and skill. While some players want a mode where they can play against the environment only, the developers recently explained why adding that option would actually make the game worse.
These games are all about stealth and strategy. You’ll need to carefully move through environments, listen for enemies, and hope the wind doesn’t give you away. It’s a tense experience that relies on your skill, a little bit of luck, and a lot of patience. If you enjoy the rewarding feeling of successfully tracking and ‘catching’ something after a challenging hunt, you’ll likely love these open-world adventures.
Researchers have developed an enhanced quantum key distribution protocol leveraging systematic polar coding to improve key generation rates and performance.
In a post on X that was undoubtedly more dramatic than necessary, Glassnode analyst Chris Beamish (who clearly has too much time on his hands) has chronicled Bitcoin’s latest existential crisis through the lens of the MVRV Z-Score. This indicator, much like society’s judgment of one’s choice in waistcoats, compares Bitcoin’s market cap with its Realized Cap – which is essentially asking, “Darling, are you worth what you think you’re worth?”

D.Va is a hugely popular tank in Overwatch 2, second only to Reinhardt in terms of how often players choose her. While newer heroes like Kiriko and Wuyang are gaining popularity, D.Va has been a flagship character for the game ever since its launch in 2016, thanks to her fun personality, distinct way of playing, and interesting backstory.
Nintendo had a significant year in 2025 with the release of the Switch 2 on June 5th. This new console offers a similar hybrid gaming experience to the popular 2017 Switch, and expectations were high. Despite some initial challenges, like debates over the price, the Switch 2 has already sold millions of units. Nintendo continues to release updates to enhance the console as more people buy it.
My dear reader, what is this we hear about Pi Network stagnating like a soggy crumpet at a dinner party? The price flounders near $0.2380, bravely freefalling 1.54% in 24 hours. A performance more dramatic than my last column-though I do prefer my metaphors with a touch of panache 🌟.
