Articles Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

The first half of 2026 has already dropped a stack of strong releases, and with GTA 6 and Marvel's Wolverine still to come, there's plenty to keep you busy in the meantime. This is our running list of the best games to play right now across PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2 — some brand-new, others a few years old but still at the top of their genre thanks to regular updates. We've split everything by genre, so jump to whatever you're in the mood for. One thing to set straight up front: this is a "what to play now" list, not a "came out this year" one. A few entries are older, but they keep pulling players back with new seasons, expansions and patches.

Let’s take a closer look at whether there really are more women in video games, why the industry has changed, and who is responsible for the fact that it seems to us as if the “narrative” is to blame for everything.

Female protagonists have led some of the most memorable games ever made, from large-scale action adventures and horror titles to intimate stories about grief, love, identity, and everyday life. The best games with female protagonists are not defined by one kind of heroine: they can star warriors, witches, detectives, explorers, students, writers, farmers, or women simply trying to find their place in a difficult world. This list brings together the best female-led games to play in 2026, including established classics and notable recent releases. Whether you are looking for intense combat, deep role-playing, emotional storytelling, mystery, or a quieter life-sim experience, these games offer compelling heroines and worlds worth spending time in.

Role-playing games (RPGs) are one of the most popular genres in the industry. This list brings together the best RPGs in history — from the classics of the 90s (Fallout, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment) to major new releases: the GOTY hit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Obsidian's Avowed, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Chinese hit Black Myth: Wukong, and the sequel The Outer Worlds 2. We divided all role-playing games into eight themed categories: open-world RPGs, isometric CRPGs, story-driven single-player RPGs, Soulslikes, JRPGs, Diablo-likes, genre classics, and indie projects — so you can quickly find exactly the type of RPG you are looking for right now.

Almost every well-known PC game receives erotic modifications that undress the main characters or add new, racy features. It all started back in the mid-90s, with the release of the Nude Raider mod for Lara Croft's first adventure. Today, such mods have become an integral part of the gaming community. Thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts, even serious games can be given a more explicit look, and their characters can try on sultry looks.

One of this spring's major events was the release of the enigmatic Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Immediately dubbed a potential Game of the Year contender, its scores impressed even the staunchest skeptics. The title gained buzz beyond gaming circles too — especially since nobody truly knew what to expect pre-launch. Brief teasers only hinted at a Final Fantasy — esque experience.

We've got plenty of questions about this release, and we'll examine each in detail.

As of May 1, Microsoft has increased prices on its gaming products. The budget-friendly Xbox Series S (512 GB) went up from $300 to $380, and the 2 TB Xbox Series X now costs $730 — more than the PS5 Pro. A bit earlier, on April 13, [url=https://vgtimes.com/news/124230-sony-hikes-playstation-5-prices-in-europe-and-australia.html[/url] in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, raising it to €500. Prices are rising not only for consoles and accessories but also for games themselves. Nintendo was the first to reveal that Mario Kart World, its flagship title, would cost $80. Microsoft followed suit, announcing that some of its upcoming titles will also carry the $80 price tag. So why is everything suddenly getting so expensive? Let’s break it down.

In the gaming industry, it often happens that well-known companies lose talented developers, who then go on to create new studios. This is a natural process. The problem is that keeping track of all the projects being developed by former employees of popular companies is not easy — especially considering that they often work on new IP. That’s why we decided to gather the most intriguing of these games in one article, so you won’t miss anything.

Recently, the first hands-on impressions of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 surfaced online. This game, developed by the French studio Sandfall Interactive — founded by former Ubisoft employees — has been on many gamers' radar since its announcement. Judging by the trailers, it looks like a high-budget, well-crafted, and rather unique RPG. However, it's hard to grasp the game's core from the trailers alone, so we've prepared this article to explain what Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is all about.

The first Xbox showcase in 2025 — Developer_Direct — was dedicated to only four games, but what games they are!

You can read about the new DOOM and Ninja Gaiden somewhere nearby.

The most demanding PC games aren't poorly optimized games — they're projects that honestly load powerful hardware in the name of real technology and real visuals. The difference is fundamental, and this top sticks to it strictly. A demanding game taxes a top-tier graphics card and CPU because it's showing off expensive tech: path tracing and full ray tracing, Nanite and Lumen on Unreal Engine 5, dense world simulation, the streaming of vast open spaces with no loading screens. For every frame it spends, it pays you back in a picture you can actually see — on a flagship system these projects work as a showcase of what a PC can do, and they're also the best-looking games around right now. Crysis once set the bar, and "but can it run it?" became a meme for years. Today there are dozens of such games. As for the ones that drop frames equally on any hardware and give you neither photorealism nor a wow factor in return — that's not about being demanding, that's about bad optimization, and we've got a separate top of the most optimized games for them.
