Elden Ring is a true phenomenon of its genre, opening the challenging world of the soulslike genre to millions of newcomers, and remaining immensely popular for years since its launch in 2022. Boosted by the massive Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, Elden Ring has already surpassed the 30 million sales mark , which makes it one of the best-selling video games of the decade and a colossal success for FromSoftware and Bandai Na

What's even more impressive is that Scarlet and Violet are only available for the Nintendo Switch, so one can imagine that Switch console sales are also off the charts, thanks to the Pokémon series alone. It'll be interesting to see just how quickly the next Pokémon game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A , will reach its first two-digit million sales when it launches later this ye

Considering it is the sequel to one of the best Star Wars games in recent memory, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , not much is known yet about Jedi: Survivor , with EA remaining surprisingly tight-lipped up to this point. Promising to continue the story of the Jedi Cal Kestis, it should bring with it solid improvements to the already robust mechanics. Customizable lightsabers, a plethora of force powers to wield, and an intriguing story spanning several planets are the least fans should expect, based on the first game. While many wouldn't have necessarily thought Star Wars and Dark Souls would blend together well, it turns out that they do, and all eyes will be on Star Wars J edi: Survivor when it releases sometime in 2

Moreover, bosses also don't seem to use their environment very much , except Lingxuzi and Whiteclad Noble bosses in Chapter 1 - but even so, to a limited degree. Boss areas serve as nothing more than an arena. It is extremely contrarian to how the arenas are designed, as they appear to have utility, but don't at

Black Myth Wukong weapons Myth: Wukong was originally unveiled in 2020. A retelling of the famous Chinese 16th Century novel Journey to the West , the game is from a relatively unknown indie studio called Game Science. The early trailer footage immediately made an impression, with the protagonist, a monkey based on the legendary mythical figure Sun Wukong, shown to be engaging in a series of fast, ferocious battles against all manner of creatures and enem

Despite being a relatively new sub-genre when compared to its more established counterparts, the Soulslike genre is fast becoming one of the most heavily populated sections of the video game industry. The success and popularity of the stunning Dark Souls trilogy has seen a slew of Soulslikes begin to use developer FromSoftware's formula to attempt to replicate the success for themselves. The results have been widely varied, with titles such as Nioh being met with critical acclaim, whereas plenty of others have missed the mark. 2023 is set to see some more exciting entries into the ge

The Finals took the gaming community by storm, attracting hundreds of thousands of players even during its beta phase in late 2023. While the game's impressive visuals likely contributed to its popularity, it's the destructible environments that truly set this free-to-play competitive shooter apart from the competition. The combat in the game is extremely dynamic and unpredictable, capable of generating plenty of unforgettable mome

With a big emphasis placed on co-op gameplay via Elden Ring -style summoning mechanics, the game will see the player come face-to-face with the likes of the mighty general Lu Bu in a series of progressively harder encounters designed for players to master through repetition. The player will have a wide range of offensive moves available to use, as well as several special abilities, and a high degree of precision and timing will be needed to emerge victorious. Those looking for their next big challenge will likely find it in this title, which is set for release on March 3, 2

It does have its quirks, however, including a power-limited GPU given its form factor and the fact that the G14 is without any RAM slots, opting to go for a soldered version of them instead. Users can opt for the more powerful version of the same that comes with an RTX 4070 and doubles its RAM to 32GB instead.

With each Animal Crossing: New Horizons copy sold at full price or close to it, since Switch first-party title price discounts are quite scarce, that didn't stop players from buying both a Switch and the game. A true phenomenon and the best-selling game of the 2020s so far, it will be hard for anything other than GTA 6 to surpass this remarkable success for the rest of the dec

As expected, the sales for Hogwarts Legacy were through the roof , with some sources indicating that the game has sold over 34 million copies to date (although this number hasn't been officially confirmed by Warner Bros.). With Hogwarts Legacy already confirmed for release on the Switch 2, its sales will only continue to grow in the coming years. The only head-scratching thing about Hogwarts Legacy so far has been the apparent cancellation of planned DLC , despite the game's massive sa
