Diablo Immortal

  • Genre: Role-playing
  • Platforms: Android, iOS, and PC
  • Multiplayer: Online co-op for 4 players, multiplayer for 32 players

Diablo Immortal is rightfully criticized for its aggressive monetization, which gives an advantage in PvP. However, if you focus on the storyline and don't chase after a high rank in the leaderboard, you can enjoy this free-to-play project.

Blizzard cut down on the number of perks and possible builds, but still managed to preserve the core gameplay. The hero lands on beautiful locations and charges into slashing demons. The monsters come in droves, magical perks effectively turn them into ashes, and new loot keeps dropping from their corpses. As a result, the genocide of monsters is addictively engaging.

The developers deserve special praise for the bosses. There are many mighty enemies, they look menacing, and they willingly change phases during the fight. It's satisfying to go on a raid, kill a huge beast at the end, and collect precious gems from its body.

System Requirements:

  • Processor: Intel Core i3
  • RAM: 4 GB

Serious Sam: Tormental

  • Genre: Arcade, Roguelike
  • Platforms: PC
  • Multiplayer: Local co-op for 2 players

Serious Sam: Tormental is suitable for players who love Serious Sam, unique weapons like a cannon shooting cores, and the roguelike genre. According to the plot, the hero finds himself in the mind of the nefarious Mental: traveling through the halls of the villain's mind, Sam needs to kill a multitude of creatures, challenge mighty bosses, and find the invader's weak spot.

Serious Sam: Tormental cannot be called an outstanding roguelike, but playing the game with a friend is fun. One player can control Sam himself, while the other can choose an eccentric character like Bad Bulb or Bullet. Each hero has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the build becomes more interesting as you progress.

In short, if you've been a long-time fan of Serious Sam and appreciate roguelikes, don't pass up Serious Sam: Tormental.

  • Genre: Arcade, Fighting
  • Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, iOS, and Android
  • Multiplayer: Local co-op and online co-op for up to 4 players

Streets of Rage 4 will delight gamers who nostalgically recall the gaming industry of days gone by — such an audience will likely shed a tear for the beat 'em up genre. Some may find the gameplay too simplistic and the visuals outdated, but that opinion will change once you get into the game. The combat system in Streets of Rage 4 is well-crafted, and the visuals, backgrounds, and effects are drawn with soul.

Firing up a beat 'em up after a hard day, choosing your favorite fighter, and setting out to clean the streets of all sorts of riff-raff is a great idea. Especially since the game can run even on a weak computer.

However, with each new attempt, the tactics of the enemies will become clearer to you, and eventually, you will be able to defeat all the enemies and complete the level.

It's important not to let customers argue about political topics — your tavern should be a place of rest for people with various life perspectives. Fussing about such details is fun — especially if you're doing it with a friend.

It sounds simple, but without proper role distribution, train upgrades, and quick response to sudden difficulties, victory is impossible. You can explore the game world with up to 4 players.

System Requirements:

  • Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 520
