Starting with a very simple story, you immediately find yourself in the Slime Conservatory, which becomes your headquarters. Your only goal is to explore the island.

Like many older games revisited years later, I expected to enjoy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, but also to find flaws in its gameplay or story that had been improved upon by newer games in the genre. So, I was surprised when, in 2025, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles actually stood out as potentially the best game of its kind currently available.

I was so excited when South Park came back with Season 27, Episode 5, and we were introduced to this really interesting new character, Kipling! Honestly, Kipling immediately got everyone at the school talking – it sparked such a debate! And the design is just incredible; it’s so detailed that people are already hoping they’ll add Kipling as a regular character to the show. Now, everyone’s buzzing with ideas about how South Park might use them in future episodes, which is just awesome!

Okay, so I just built the LEGO Game Boy set, and honestly, it was a really chill build! With only 421 pieces, I finished it in under 3 hours, no problem. You start by building the Super Mario Land cartridge and the cool stand it comes with – it even stores the cartridge! Then you move onto the back of the console, the PCB, the front with all the buttons, the screen itself, and a stand for the whole thing. Finally, you finish it off with the The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening cartridge, which even has a little detail representing the battery inside. It’s a super fun set!

It was strange that Gohan didn’t appear at all in Dragon Ball Daima (along with his mother, Videl), especially since the series was also marking the 40th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s manga first appearing in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. However, as Dragon Ball Daima producer Akio Iyoku shared (noted by @Venixys on X), a design for a Mini Gohan was actually created for the anime, but ultimately wasn’t included in the final show.

People have tried making board games with lots of mini-games, similar to Mario Party, before. However, it’s tough to beat the original. Now, LEGO is entering the competition with LEGO Party! This game, available on multiple platforms, allows players to pick from hundreds of famous LEGO minifigures or design their own. They can then jump into a board game packed with LEGO-themed challenges. There are also 60 different mini-games players will battle it out in between turns on the board. But how does this new Mario Party competitor perform? It’s a genuinely good party game that offers great value for the money, despite a few small issues.

A warning to anyone opposing Mjolnir and its wielders: they are unlikely to succeed. As long as it remains with worthy individuals, the power of Thor is overwhelming. These characters experienced a small part of that power and used it in a creative way.

Looking past the main character, you’ll find many compelling supporting personalities, each with unique philosophies and intriguing mysteries to discover. These characters can shed light on the origins of prophecy within the simulation, explain unanswered questions about the war against the Machines, or follow the new generation of rebels who continue Neo’s fight. Their stories could explore their backstories or unresolved conflicts, but these three characters definitely have the depth and complexity to lead their own spin-off titles.

After the successful 2022 update of the classic Pac-Man World, fans wondered if Pac-Man World 2 would receive a similar overhaul. Now, three years later, Now Production and Bandai Namco have teamed up again to remake what many believe is the strongest game in the series.

Insider Gaming reports that a new The Lord of the Rings game is in development. According to a source, the project is expected to receive around $100 million in funding from the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. The publication also suggests this is just part of the total budget, hinting that the game will likely have a significantly larger overall investment.
