The first time we saw a trailer of Black Myth: Wukong I joked that it looked great and would probably never actually come out. That was August 20, 2020. Exactly four years later the fantasy action game isn’t just available to play, it’s shattering records on Steam for single-player and online games alike.

There’s a fine line between medieval gameplay that’s historically accurate and medieval gameplay that’s fun. The overall reception to Kingdom Come: Deliverance indicates Warhorse Studios struck that balance well in 2018, but as noted in Kotaku’s review, plenty could be improved. After playing (the recently delayed) Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for roughly three hours, it’s clear the team is aware of the first game’s misses, and its strengths, too. KCD2 is, on the surface, a classic video game sequel—bigger and better, with more to do. But I’m surprised by just how “immersive sim” it is, even if I get the sense Warhorse might shudder at that characterization. Though its introduction is slow and narrowly focused on familiarizing newcomers with the gameplay, what I play much later in the game feels like an exciting digital LARP session I can’t wait to experiment in further.

Today, we’re going over five of the saddest Nintendo endings of all time. As an important note, we’re only covering endings for games we’ve played, so if you can think of one that’s not on the list, feel free to share it with us in the comments down below.

Top 5 saddest Nintendo endings of all time

Don’t Nod, the studio behind the original Life is Strange and its (stellar) numbered sequel, has an earnest quality to its writing that still gets me, almost 10 years after Max Caulfield first strode down the halls of Blackwell Academy. So even when Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, the next game from the studio set to launch next year, leans into some of the hokiest, most saccharine dialogue I’ve heard in a hot minute, that earnestness keeps me invested. I recently played about two hours of Lost Records, and though the build I got to mess around with was a little janky, especially as it oscillates between its ‘90s-era flashbacks and present-day framing device, I’m already even more intrigued than I was when I talked to the developers at Don’t Nod about the project earlier this year.

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. In a nutshell: The Civilization games have been around since the start of the 1990s, entertaining millions of people. The launch date of the series' seventh numbered title has just been announced, but where did it all start? With a 386 PC in 1991 that packs 16MB of RAM, cost $10,000 at the time, and still works today.

GTA 6 will be one of the biggest video games released in 2025, but will the title be available on Xbox Game Pass? Here is what we know so far. GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of – if not the biggest – video game releases of not just 2025, but of all time. While an exact release date is yet to be confirmed, developer Rockstar is gearing up to release the next installment of the best-selling GTA franchise.

There’s a fairly good chance that you, like us, keep forgetting that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a first-person game. Each time we see any footage, it’s a jarring moment to remember that this isn’t a reskinned Tomb Raider or Uncharted, but instead puts us directly inside Dr. Jones’ head. This is exacerbated by so much of the stuff we’ve seen in trailers constantly jumping to cinematic third-person views, given how odd of an angle it is when trying to show off the game. But now we’ve seen ten minutes of in-game footage, and it’s starting to make more sense.

Gamescom Opening Night Live kicked off with a surprise reveal: Borderlands 4 is real and coming in 2025. It’s been a long wait for the next numbered sequel in the sci-fi looter shooter series, and the teaser confirming the game’s existence didn’t give a clear idea of what to expect from it. Fortunately, fans have been poring over the brief video and have already come away with a bunch of interesting clues and theories about what’s coming next year.

Bloodborne is one of the most iconic Soulsborne games developed by FromSoftware. It was launched on March 24, 2015, and remains to this day a PS 4 exclusive. It is the only weapon alongside Demon Souls that is a PS exclusive and has not been released on PC. All other Soulslike games like the Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring are available on all platforms. However, a new post by PlayStation reveals that this beloved IP might be coming to PS5 as well as potentially to PC.

Hey, so I know that a bunch of us actually don’t have VR or are all that interested in getting into it, but that new VR Arkham Batman game looks pretty good, right? Shown off at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, Batman: Arkham Shadow seems like a pretty decent follow-up to the Arkhamverse, and one done in an entirely new way.

2K finally announced what Hangar 13 has been working on at Gamescom Opening Night Live, and unsurprisingly, it’s the prequel to the Mafia games that we previously reported on back in 2022. After years of tumult, Mafia: The Old Country has finally emerged and it’s set to take us to the origins of the mafia in 1900s Sicily when it releases next year. That gives you all just enough time to play through the existing Mafia trilogy, which just happens to be remarkably cheap right now.

In the early 2010s an odd little shooter by the name of Metro 2033 emerged out of nowhere. Adapted from a similarly named sci-fi novel by author Dmitry Glukhovsky, it didn’t quite take the world by storm, but the story-driven FPS about a community trying to survive the nuclear apocalypse by hiding in the subway stations and tunnels of Moscow earned enough love to spawn a franchise. Releasing over the 2010s, the Metro series became the loving torchbearer of janky “weird fiction” shooters after the long hiatus of the now-returning S.T.A.L.K.E.R series.
