If you enjoy crafting, creature collecting, and base-building, Palworld is
your game.

Ever since Palworld was unveiled in 2021, it’s been a hot topic in the gaming world. A Pokémon-like game with guns has incredible appeal, but the whole thing seemed a little too good to be true. I had my doubts going in, but I was completely won over by its cute creatures and addictive crafting system. If you’re after a monster-themed shooter, Palworld might be a letdown, but if you’re looking for an open-world survival crafting game that also happens to have cute creatures to collect, this is a must play.

ActionRPGAnime

The nameless hero saving the world, the loyal devotee of supermarket bargain hours, the world's mightiest bald office worker, your game-time savior is coming soon. Three! Two! One! Kill shot!

As an action game, the combat system in the game delivers a visceral experience. The special moves in combat are excellently executed, closely resembling the performances from the anime. For example, Sonic's Swift Strike or Genos's powerful cannon attacks are all faithfully replicated. And, of course, the almighty Saitama will make an appearance in the game. Rather than a playable character, he operates more like a game mechanic: once specific conditions are met, you can summon Saitama to the field, and with his all-conquering fists, he will save the day.

On the morning of January 18th, the open-world game Wuthering Waves opens a beta recruitment portal on its official website, signaling that the game is finally prepared to introduce itself to players worldwide.

Before this, Wuthering Waves had already conducted several small-scale tests targeted at players in China. In previous tests, Wuthering Waves demonstrated an impressively polished combat system. Building upon the combat system legacy of Punishing: Gray Raven, Wuthering Waves continues to deliver combat that is exhilarating and decisive. As for the specific mechanics, each test iteration was different, and it remains to be seen in what state the game will present itself to players in the upcoming test.

Play it if you like dating sims and don’t mind a little bit of combat.

Love and Deepspace is a 3D sci-fi epic that mixes dating sim mechanics with real-time action-RPG battles, but based on my experiences, the game definitely emphasizes love over action. I ran into some minor issues during my playthrough, but my experience was really positive overall. The game looks fantastic and the love interests are all extremely charming. This is developed by Papermoon, who has also made titles like Shining Nikki and Mr. Love: Queen's Choice, so my expectations for the finished game are really high!
