I often feel overwhelmed starting games that have been around for a while and have a lot of existing content – it’s why I had to make a real effort to get into Destiny 2 before its latest expansion, and why I’m only now considering giving Fallout 76 another try. This fear of falling behind is why I’ve avoided games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. I admire HoYoverse’s ability to create immersive games with compelling characters, but I’ve also seen friends become completely absorbed by them, dedicating all their time and money to those games. As someone who enjoys playing a variety of titles, I worry about the commitment required to catch up on current HoYoverse games. Luckily, Petit Planet seems like a good entry point, as I can start fresh with a HoYoverse title and it also offers something my gaming collection has been missing: a relaxing, life-simulation game similar to Animal Crossing.

Watching the Elbaf arc of One Piece unfold has been a wild ride! It’s been non-stop action and huge reveals with each new chapter. Honestly, there hasn’t been a dull moment. Right now, the story is diving into Loki’s past, and we’re getting glimpses of the God Valley Incident – it’s been absolutely amazing to see everything come to light.

I’m really excited about 911 Operator! From what the developers at Jutsu Games say, it’s a game all about the tough job of emergency line workers. It’s a cool mix of simulator and strategy where you get to handle calls from people who need help all over the world – seriously, thousands of cities! Sometimes you can help just by giving advice over the phone, but other times you need to send the police, fire department, or paramedics. What’s really impressive is they’ve recorded over 50 different conversations based on real emergency calls, and they’re aiming to make it one of the most realistic simulator games out there.

Maomao, the main character of The Apothecary Diaries, has quickly become a hugely popular character – not just among female leads, but as a defining face of contemporary anime. The series itself is incredibly successful in Japan and is rapidly gaining fans worldwide. Excitingly, The Apothecary Diaries will return for a third season in 2026.

The first Halo: Combat Evolved game didn’t offer much in the way of customization, which had both positive and negative effects. However, the developers at Halo Studios have announced that the remake will include more options for players. One example is the ability to turn off the sprint feature, which was a point of contention in the original game, allowing players who prefer the classic Halo experience to do so.

2025 started off strong for fans of Solo Leveling with the release of the anime’s second season. The new season was a huge hit, quickly gaining popularity and attracting viewers beyond the existing fanbase.

Rumors of a relationship between Mizkif and Emiru began circulating around January 2022, not long after Mizkif ended his relationship with Maya Higa. Around the same time, Emiru joined Mizkif’s streaming organization, One True King (OTK), becoming a content creator and moving into their shared house in Austin, Texas. She later became a co-owner of OTK. During a livestream on October 25th, Emiru confirmed the relationship, revealing that they had broken up around early 2025. She also stated she had been trying to avoid discussing him for the entire year.

In the past, using the Lost Loot Machine in Borderlands 4 meant players had to go through their inventory, find each item, and mark it as junk one by one. This could take a long time, particularly if your inventory was full. Since money is plentiful later in the game, many players just stopped using the Lost Loot Machine because it wasn’t worth the effort.

Even though Mega Evolution is a key feature in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, many players still enjoy the challenge of finding shiny Pokemon. These rare Pokemon have a low encounter rate – only about one in 4,096 – making them difficult to find. However, the game makes shiny hunting a little easier: a shiny Pokemon won’t disappear if you leave the area, faint, or fail to catch it without defeating it in battle.

Borderlands 4 is a strong game with a compelling story, better humor, and a variety of playable characters. The gameplay is a noticeable step up from previous installments. However, after finishing the main story, the game feels a bit empty due to a lack of additional content to keep players engaged.
