Spring always feels like a fresh start and a time for renewal, and I’m excited to share some JRPGs that capture that feeling. Even though I’m in the Southern Hemisphere and spring doesn’t arrive until September, the sense of possibility is the same. Here’s a list of games that evoke that springtime feeling through their stories, gameplay, or overall atmosphere.
I was initially a bit doubtful about Raccoin. Coin-pushing games usually lack complexity – you just put coins in and hope they knock others forward to win points or money. Unlike games like Balatro which use many card combinations and rules for interesting gameplay, coin-pushing is typically very straightforward. However, I was quickly proven wrong. Raccoin cleverly uses this simplicity to create surprisingly well-developed and subtle game mechanics.
Super Saiyan 3 is one of the most iconic and powerful forms in the Dragon Ball series, achieved only by Goku, Vegeta, and Gotenks. However, a few other transformations come close to matching its strength, so let’s explore those now.
Many open-world games are called ‘never-ending,’ but they achieve this in different ways. Some keep expanding with updates, always offering new things to do. Others let you continue exploring and enjoying the world even after finishing the main story. And a few truly have no set end – you simply continue playing as long as you want.
At the start of the year, Embark shared its plans for ARC Raiders with a roadmap for 2026, detailing four big content updates: Headwinds, Shrouded Sky, Flashpoint, and Riven Tides. The Headwinds update introduced a new, and somewhat debated, 1v3 matchmaking mode, along with a unique map challenge in the Buried City. Last month, the Shrouded Sky update added a dangerous Hurricane map condition and two powerful new enemies. While Riven Tides, which will include a new map and a massive ARC enemy, isn’t due for another month, the Flashpoint update is launching this week, and players have a lot to anticipate.
If you want to obtain the Electro-Mecha Longsword, head to the easternmost part of Deleysia and locate Marni’s Outpost. Be warned, this area is full of dangerous robots and a particularly powerful boss called the Machina Knight. You can find details on the location and how to defeat the boss below.
During the Open Mic Night at the Snapping Turtle Bar, there’s a silent auction happening. While you’re trying to gather clues about the mystery from the people there, Max has the opportunity to win a unique, handmade sculpture. Getting this sculpture will also unlock a secret trophy or achievement if you’re aiming to fully complete the game.
This guide shows you where to find all seven Chloe Collectibles in Life is Strange: Reunion. You can also quickly revisit scenes from the main menu in Exploration Mode if you miss any.

First airing on Nickelodeon in February 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender has grown into the Avatar Legends franchise. Over the past 21 years, nine video games based on the series have been released, mostly as action-adventure games with basic fighting. However, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is different. It’s a brand-new 2D fighting game featuring 12 beloved characters, several ways to play, and special gameplay features.
I recently got to play Valor Mortis at PAX East 2026 in Boston, and I spent around 30 minutes with the very beginning of the game. Honestly, after just that short time, I was completely hooked and immediately wanted to jump back in and play more!
