Many players were waiting for the PC version of Stellar Blade for the mods that would allow them to change the costume of the main character Eva or get rid of it altogether. And just a week after the release, hundreds of different modifications appeared on the network. We have collected the most interesting of them in this article.

The name "Kojima" has long become somewhat of a trademark, at which mention all the "professional game journalists" immediately don their monocles and compete over realizing the genius’s great idea. However, we will voice an unpopular opinion — for the second game in a row, the game designer’s work resembles a scene from Intouchables, where Driss enters the art gallery and can’t understand how the smudge on a white canvas can be called art. Without further preamble, we present our review of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach — the magnum opus of Hideo Kojima’s (Hideo Kojima) screenwriter and design talent pinnacle.

July is the perfect time to take stock and highlight the most notable TV shows of the year so far. By the end of 2025, many of these series are likely to compete for the title of the year’s best — so don’t miss them.

While some games are developed in a couple of years, others have to wait for decades. Moreover, they often come out outdated and fail in sales. But there are situations when such projects do not even make it to release. Our article is devoted to such examples.

Last night, Sony held a State of Play presentation fully dedicated to its main exclusive of the year — Ghost of Yotei. This was the first full-fledged gameplay showcase for the project. As expected, the game heavily channels the DNA of Ghost of Tsushima, yet a number of innovations and thematic distinctions give Ghost of Yotei its own identity. Here's everything the developers at Sucker Punch Productions revealed and showed.

Co-op games (co-op games with friends or co-op games) differ from single-player games in that they can be played with other players or friends (usually online or on the same screen). Any game is better if you can play it with a friend. For those looking for a good game for a company, we have collected the best co-op games: without MMO; only top co-op games for two (or more players); for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch.

Planning a PC upgrade or building a new computer in summer 2025? Choosing your graphics card is a key decision! The summer season often brings hot deals on GPUs, new models from NVIDIA and AMD hit the shelves, and prices stabilize after previous spikes. In this article, we'll help you pick the best graphics card for summer 2025.

The entertainment industry can be harsh. Studios often invest heavily in promising TV series, release one or more seasons, and then suddenly cancel the project before finishing the story. Sometimes they even cut the narrative short — as happened with The Sandman, which was limited to just two seasons. In this article, we’ll revisit other shows that showed real potential but never made it to the finish line.

The crazy year of awesome releases continues. The Alters is yet another game that no one really expected much from, but it not only surprised everyone with its fresh gameplay, it literally blew our minds with a wild mix of science fiction, philosophy, drama, and... survival mechanics with resource gathering. Although, coming from the creators of This War of Mine and Frostpunk, we expected nothing less. 11 Bit Studios has once again reinvented the classic base management genre, but this time with some insanely emotional storytelling. In this review, we’ll explain what The Alters really is and why you absolutely must play it.

Add-ons for good games are like dessert after a great meal. But sometimes, the extra serving turns out to be far tastier than the main course: certain DLCs, for various reasons, surpass the original game so much in quality that it’s hard to return to the base version afterward. This article is about such expansions.

We continue to explore the summer's new releases—now it's time for the HONOR 400, following the Pro version, which was reviewed a bit earlier. This model offers a camera system for high-quality photos, a capacious battery, and software with a large number of AI assistants for both shooting and productivity. Let's take a closer look at this new smartphone!

The recent shift in public sentiment and massive financial losses forced Disney to rethink its approach to Marvel Cinematic Universe shows and films. Unfortunately, some projects were already too far along to cancel. Ironheart is a true swan song of the "old Marvel" — its gravestone, joyfully erected by screenwriters over everything that once made superheroes popular and exciting. The show is already fully released, we’ve watched it, and now we’re here to tell you about it. Sorry, Tony Stark — you were never meant to save us.

Many gamers value long games the most — the kind packed with dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of content. That’s a perfectly reasonable preference. Still, it’s worth giving credit to short games you can finish in just a couple of evenings, or even in a single sitting: such titles make a great alternative to watching a movie or series. In this list, we’ve collected the best games that, on average, can be completed in 2–9 hours.

On July 11, 2025, a new film about Superman will be released. The director is James Gunn, known for the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Of course, this is far from the first film adaptation of the comics about the Man of Steel. We decided to remember other films about an alien from the planet Krypton, who became the protector of the Earth.

The ending is the most important part of any movie. It can ruin the impression from watching or, on the contrary, make an ordinary movie outstanding, give what is happening a special meaning. In this article, we have collected ten excellent thrillers with a really interesting ending that make you take a fresh look at the events of the film.

The finale of the third season of Squid Game left far more questions than answers. Naturally, fans began wondering — should we expect a Season 4? Although there’s been no official announcement yet, quite a few rumors have emerged.

Back in February 2024, it was revealed that Apple had secured the rights to adapt Neuromancer, the seminal sci-fi novel by Canadian author William Gibson. Recently, the company unveiled the project’s first teaser and officially announced that filming has begun. The idea of a big-budget TV show based on Neuromancer is undeniably intriguing: the original novel is the quintessential work of cyberpunk, a genre-defining masterpiece that shaped its rules and deeply influenced dozens of movies and video games. Let’s explore why this book is so important — and what challenges the creators of the series might face.

The first Death Stranding was met with, to put it mildly, mixed reactions. It was an auteur and highly divisive game where 90% of the time was spent walking from point A to point B — essentially doing the dullest part of any gameplay formula. On top of that, the project featured an incredibly convoluted, unconventional storyline, which helped many YouTubers make a fortune dissecting it. However, over time, the idea that "Kojima is a genius" convinced people either that they were too dim to comprehend the designer’s vast vision — or, if they happened to enjoy it, that they were true connoisseurs of high art. This led to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach being awaited like a revelation, a surefire hit, and game of the year contender. The release was marked by a wave of glowing reviews, which reportedly surprised even Kojima himself. We couldn’t stay away and dove into the experience. It’s still too early for a full review, but after completing 20 story missions and a good number of side quests, we’re ready to share our first impressions.

One of the biggest stories of the week is the mass layoffs in Microsoft’s gaming divisions that began yesterday. This move is part of a broader internal restructuring at the company: nearly 9 000 employees will be let go — around 4% of Microsoft’s global workforce. For Xbox studios, this isn’t the first major shake-up this year. However, the consequences of these new layoffs appear even more serious than previous ones: Microsoft hasn’t just let people go — it has also canceled multiple projects, including one of the most anticipated Xbox exclusives. That’s what today’s article is about.

When it comes to Elden Ring, there are plenty of unforgettable characters, but few stand as tall, both literally and symbolically as Malenia, Blade of Miquella. Her haunting presence, graceful deadliness, and tragic backstory make her one of the most compelling bosses in FromSoftware's history.

So naturally, if the Elden Ring movie (reportedly in development under the direction of Alex Garland) intends to include her, the actress chosen to play Malenia must bring not only martial powers and elegance but also emotional nuance to convey a descent into rot-induced madness.

Let's explore some of the top actresses who could not only step into Malenia's boots but also breathe life into her inner persona. These casting choices have a mix of screen presence, physicality, dramatic range, and the special spark that makes Malenia more than only a sword-wielding demi-goddess.
