The action RPG No Rest for the Wicked launched on Steam in April 2024 and quickly gained a large following, peaking at over 36,000 concurrent players. While player numbers decreased over time, updates – including a significant patch in April 2025 – brought some players back. However, a recent free weekend in January 2026 caused the game to surpass its initial popularity, reaching a new peak in player count, as reported by SteamDB. You can try the game and see what everyone’s talking about until January 26th.

Studio Kai’s anime adaptation of Sentenced to Be a Hero is visually stunning, but the story itself is even more captivating. The series follows Xylo and his group – individuals labeled as “Heroes” despite having committed serious crimes – as they strive to genuinely become heroes. While they’ve shown heroic qualities from the start, the latest episode really emphasizes this theme, with the group finally receiving praise for their actions. This moment establishes the show’s core pattern: a compelling journey of redemption and heroism.

More of the same for me this week: review embargoed games on PS5 and No Rest for the Wicked on PC.

I still remember when I first discovered ThunderCats 41 years ago! It really launched a franchise that so many of us still adore. The show began with a special two-part premiere on January 23rd, 1985 – “Exodus” and “The Unholy Alliance” – and those episodes instantly introduced me to amazing characters like Lion-O, Monkian, Cheetara, Panthro, Mumm-Ra, and the whole crew that became instantly iconic.

Netflix recently shared data about its most popular movies from the latter half of 2025. Topping the list at number one was KPop Demon Hunters, outperforming films like Happy Gilmore 2 and Frankenstein. Remarkably, KPop Demon Hunters garnered 482 million views – nearly as many as the combined total of the next five most-watched movies, which only reached 481 million views.

The game Mahou Arms became available in Early Access on April 28, 2020. Once the full version releases, the price will go up by approximately $10, from its current price of $29.99.

The latest version of the White Ranger appears in issue #4 of BOOM! Studios’ Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it’s a surprising reveal, just like the original. A new White Ranger arrives to assist Leonardo and Tommy (as the Green Ranger), and together they easily defeat Bebop and Rocksteady after they transform. The Ranger is then revealed to be Splinter, who has unexpectedly returned from the dead to take on the role.

Consider the story of Anthem. This sci-fi RPG, released by BioWare in 2019, never attracted a large, consistent player base like Destiny. As a result, the publisher decided to shut down its servers, effectively ending the game for everyone, even those who had purchased it and wanted to keep playing. While EA’s decision marked the end for Anthem, the details surrounding its final months have sparked a debate about giving players more influence over the future of the games they enjoy.

Bleach is known for its exciting battles, which become even more captivating when the consequences are significant. Though the overall story is enjoyable, it’s the thrilling fights and unique power system that truly make the series stand out. The show is divided into several story arcs, and while they’re all great, some are definitely more memorable than others.

A game called ATOLL: The Game is now available for free on Xbox Series X. Originally released in 2021 by Tribunal Interactive, it didn’t gain much attention at the time. In fact, it only recently started getting reviews – two on the Microsoft Store, both giving it a perfect 5/5 score, after becoming free. On Steam, it has three reviews total: two positive and one negative.
