Immersing oneself in vast realms teeming with numerous activities sets these Role-Playing Games (RPGs) apart, due to their unquestionable ambition that shines brightly to players. The exceptional narrative, captivating characters, and an epic storyline serve as magnetic attractions, enticing fans to return again and again.
It generally takes much longer to complete the campaign of a game compared to watching a movie. For instance, even a long movie like Titanic is shorter than a game like Final Fantasy 7. This raises the question of whether there are any games that truly elicit emotions from players. It’s challenging to measure, but let’s explore some examples of games that have been known to stir different feelings in their players.
This version maintains the original meaning while making it more accessible and engaging for readers.
It’s simpler to discover games devoid of violence if they don’t heavily rely on it from the start. However, identifying violent video games with passive elements can be more challenging. Some options might be immediately apparent, while others may tread a fine line. These games provide non-lethal paths for players, ranging from RPGs to shooters, each handling the theme of pacifism uniquely.
It’s not surprising that the sales for the One Piece manga volumes have decreased over time. After all, One Piece was first published in 1997, and Shonen Jump is primarily geared towards children. Many young kids today may not be familiar with One Piece, and those who are might be older teenagers or young adults. With sales dropping for almost three decades, it’s no wonder there’s been a decline.
In the first half of 2025, Jujutsu Kaisen outsold One Piece in annual sales, as per Oricon charts, with some even calling Jujutsu Kaisen the next-generation manga. Although One Piece released a new volume since then, it seems unlikely that it’ll be the best-selling manga of 2025 overall.
In Final Fantasy 14, you’ll find a vast array of dyes to alter the hue of your gear and even some home decor items. Yet, if you’re one who desires extensive customization for your mounts, you may feel somewhat overlooked, as this level of color change is limited to only your Company Chocobo at present.
As One Piece nears its conclusion, Eiichiro Oda is unveiling more details about this expansive world, particularly in the ongoing Elbaf storyline. Besides disclosing the Harley, Oda has delved deeply into the Holy Knights and hinted at some of Imu’s abilities. Moreover, he initiated an astonishing flashback that exposed the background of Rocks D. Xebec.
From the outset of “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” it’s clear that Hornet stands apart. To begin with, she towers over The Knight, and her cloak boasts a more defined shape. Moreover, her weapon – a needle – extends further. However, this doesn’t make her superior; instead, in the sequel, Hornet demonstrates abilities that The Knight can’t, which certain players might find more appealing from a gameplay standpoint.
Before its official launch, the first-person shooter game, Battlefield 6, is already showing strong momentum. On the PlayStation store, pre-orders for Battlefield 6 are outperforming those for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Moreover, during its open beta phase, Battlefield 6 broke the all-time concurrent player count record on Steam by having at least 30,000 more users than Call of Duty. The beta has concluded, but a select group of gamers are still playtesting it through the exclusive Battlefield Labs program, providing continuous updates for those eagerly anticipating its release.
I really love Hollow Knight, but I understand that there’s a significant skill gap that makes it difficult for me to fully appreciate it compared to others. I have great respect for how challenging Hollow Knight is, especially the nightmarish ‘pogo’ platforming sequences which I could never quite get the hang of. It was also reassuring to know that the hardest content in Hollow Knight was optional.
On the other hand, during my first playthrough of Hollow Knight: Silksong, I find myself with a complex mix of feelings. As for the upcoming patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong, I don’t think the boss nerfs are particularly necessary.
