In conversation with MP1st, the game director Jacek Zięba expressed that each player’s perception of the game’s endings as either favorable or unfavorable is subjective. Within the studio itself, there can be differing opinions, such as one person saying, “But this ending is bad,” while another might argue, “No, that ending is good.
Some might argue that they’ve been anticipating this for quite some time, particularly following the closed beta at the beginning of the year. While the delay had its advantages, which I’ll touch on later, it’s still hard not to feel underwhelmed when comparing it to its more acclaimed predecessors. The campaign is where it all starts, but sadly, that’s not entirely accurate. Instead, let’s delve into why this new release pales in comparison to its esteemed forerunners in virtually every aspect.
For Weta Workshop, transitioning from working on augmented reality projects, specifically for Magic Leap, into creating commercial action-adventure (AA) games proved challenging. This inexperience led to difficulties such as an absence of a cohesive narrative thread for the game’s core mechanics, resulting in a collection of scattered quests and mini-games rather than a well-structured title.
Instead, one enthusiast has gathered some top-tier Heart of Chornobyl mods into a single fantastic collection called Rusted Dawn. Marketed as a “Modular Mod Collection”, this impressive compilation empowers you with control over the game’s post-apocalyptic open world.
Back in March, we got our first glimpse of Digimon Alysion. Since then, we’ve had a peek at the gameplay mechanics, with a recent trailer showcasing one of the new Digimon introduced in the game. We’ve been introduced to the main characters, including the latest addition to the roster, Gemmon, who acts as the player’s companion. The gameplay style seems reminiscent of popular mobile Trading Card Games (TCGs) such as Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh: Master Duel. However, what sets it apart is its more complex narrative, which distinguishes it from simpler battle and collection-focused games like Pokemon TCG Pocket.
Two years down the line, in July 2023, the studio launched a spin-off titled “Horimiya: Piece”, filling in chapters left out from the original story. This 13-episode side story covered most gaps, but some moments were still missing. Despite an uneven pace, it wasn’t problematic given the episodic nature of the Horimiya manga. As both the anime and manga reach their ends, a new Boy’s Love manga, “Room Where Voices Fall”, has emerged in the 35th issue of Big Comic Spirits on Monday. Unfortunately, this manga is yet to be translated into English, with no confirmed release date for the U.S. version. For now, fans can enjoy the Japanese version on the official Big Comic Bros platform.
As a passionate gamer eagerly waiting for new additions to my Pokémon TCG collection, I’m thrilled about the upcoming release of the Phantasmal Flames set in North America on November 14th. Based on what’s been announced for Japan, it looks like this set might include cards from their Inferno X expansion, which seems to have a strong emphasis on Mega Charizard. Additionally, we can expect cards related to Mega Gengar and Mega Diancie decks.
However, it’s crucial to remember that these assumptions are coming from PokeBeach, so the exact contents of the set remain speculative until an official announcement is made. Fingers crossed for some amazing new cards!

In a chat with Game Rant, Soulframe’s Community Director Megan Everett and Senior Community Manager Sarah Asselin delved deeply into how significant the community has been in the making of Soulframe.
