It’s easy to dismiss a game for being bad, buggy, or even incomplete. After all, the expectation is that every title should be a smooth, polished experience, especially with today’s high-end technology. However, while developers are often the ones at the receiving end of criticism, the truth is that the pressures they face are seldom acknowledged. As Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai recently pointed out, the burnout among game developers has reached a breaking point.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for Lazarus Episode 11 and 12. I knew from the first episode of Lazarus that Axel and Chris were going to kiss. Why? Because the archetypes of their characters demand so. With only one episode left, there has been no improvement whatsoever in terms of plot progression. To top it all off, we just got two episodes back to back with Popcorn Wizard having a big role. It automatically makes things worse.

When you think of franchises within Sony, a few big names come to mind: God of War, Horizon, and the usual heavy hitters. But when Sony decided to give Concord a dedicated episode in Secret Level, it really showed where the company’s head was at. And if there’s one word to describe that place, it’s got to be rotten. While Concord got the spotlight, Helldivers 2 (their actual live-service success) barely earned a cameo.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for To Be Hero X Episode 11 and 12. When To Be Hero X started, we were watching individual stories unfold, characters growing, and then finding their purpose outside of being Hero X, or at least dreaming of that. However, as the story has progressed, we’ve become more acquainted with other characters and how they impact each other’s lives.

What if we told you that a Helldivers 2 crossover could actually help save Crysis 4? Sounds like sci-fi fiction, right? But this might be one of those rare moments where video game universes collide for a cause bigger than cosmetics. After all, Arrowhead just casually opened the door for a Crysis collab, and Crytek, which recently hit the pause button on Crysis 4 and laid off 15% of its staff, might want to walk through it ASAP. This isn’t just about hype.

Luffy from One Piece is one of the protagonists of the Big 3, along with Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach and Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto. A huge trope present in the stories of these characters is Inner Monologuing, which gives us a glimpse into their thoughts. It is a staple in Shonen and allows us to peer into the minds of these characters. While Bleach and Naruto use this to inform us about a character’s doubts, strategies, and emotions, One Piece fails to do so with its protagonist.

Marvel Rivals has been ruling the hero-shooter space for a while now, and for the longest time, players have suspected foul play on NetEase’s part when it comes to matchmaking. Engagement Optimised Matchmaking, called EOMM for short, is often deployed in video games as a way to get the player mentally hooked, something many suspected was the case with Marvel Rivals as well. Unfortunately, the game’s executive producer’s statement has stirred up everything we knew about EOMM so far.

Sloclap’s next venture takes an offside turn from the critically acclaimed Sifu with Rematch, an online multiplayer football title that has already attracted more than 1 million players on its first day, which is incredibly impressive. The formula for their football formula does the sports justice while also making it unique, but somehow NetEase outdid them with their latest hero-shooter, Marvel Rivals, which isn’t close to being a sports game.
