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.

Despite its strengths, playing ARC Raiders alone can be uneven. 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. This unpredictability is actually what makes the solo experience so compelling – it’s a game with both exciting highs and frustrating lows, and those two sides are essential to what it offers.

The new arc of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has begun, and it appears to be the most ambitious story arc yet. 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.

I’m drawn to games with compelling stories and characters, and Dispatch really delivered on that front. As Robert Robertson, I felt a strong responsibility to the people I was leading. Instead of seeing their initial hesitation as defiance, I understood it as a natural reaction to past disappointments. The game encouraged me to use everything I’ve learned about building trust and creating a safe environment – things like being vulnerable and acknowledging their pain. The characters in AdHoc Studios’ first game are very open about their struggles, and I felt like it was my job to support them in the way they needed.

Released on October 10th, Battlefield 6 is the top-selling game in the US so far in 2025. Its main competitor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, isn’t selling as well as the previous Call of Duty game, so Battlefield 6, created by DICE, has a good chance of staying the best-selling game for the rest of the year.
