Handheld PCs like Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally are rapidly gaining popularity, but in 2026 more and more games refuse to run well on them without serious graphical compromises. For example, the recent The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and Doom: The Dark Ages leave a lot to be desired even on the powerful Asus ROG Ally X, let alone the weaker Steam Deck or the standard ROG Ally. That is why we decided to prepare a selection of the best games for modern handheld PCs — projects that do not force players to seriously sacrifice visual quality for optimal performance.

If you are tired of overly forgiving games where it is almost impossible to fail, this article is for you. We have put together some of the hardest games across different genres — from soulslikes and hardcore action titles to punishing survival games, roguelikes, platformers, tactical strategies, and puzzle games that truly test your reflexes, patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm under pressure.

2025 turned out to be a landmark year for Nintendo fans: the Japanese company finally released the Switch 2 and supported the new console with a lineup of notable releases. What stood out most, however, was not the exclusives but the multiplatform titles — it turned out that Switch 2 handles modern AAA games surprisingly well. In 2026, we can expect this trend to continue, meaning even more ports mixed with games developed directly by Nintendo.

Despite the advancement of technology, some gameplay mechanics and systems are still rarely found in video games. For example, not every release can boast genuine freedom and nonlinearity, because implementing them is no simple task. Nevertheless, there are developers who put maximum effort into building such structures, and as a result, they create truly special projects. After all, when no one holds your hand or tells you what to do, you perceive what’s happening as a real adventure and dive into it headfirst. In this article, we’ve gathered examples of such games.

We have collected for you the most striking cosplay of the last month of summer.

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.

The release of Ghost of Yotei is scheduled for October 2 — it’s the follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, developed exclusively for PlayStation 5. Once again, the studio behind the project is Sucker Punch.

Exactly ten years ago, Bloodborne launched for PlayStation 4 — one of the most paradoxical games in recent memory. On one hand, Bloodborne enjoys undeniable cult status: it frequently appears in top game lists, often in the top ten. Fans call it not just the ultimate PlayStation exclusive but even the most important game of all time. On the other hand, despite this widespread love, Sony stubbornly ignores Bloodborne’s existence, refusing to release even a basic performance patch for PS5, let alone a remaster. That, along with the game itself, is the subject of today’s article.

It seems like once every decade, Resident Evil drastically changes its formula. After the horror-driven installments with fixed cameras, the franchise transitioned into third-person action games.

In this article, we’ll explore which mechanics and ideas Capcom could implement in future Resident Evil games to refresh the gameplay.

Rumors about the development of a Bloodborne remaster or a PC port have reached the same speculative heights as Half-Life 3. Over the past decade, countless fake leaks have surfaced, claiming that gamers would soon be able to play an updated and enhanced version of this classic at higher FPS. And not just on Sony consoles, but also on their PCs. However, for years, Bloodborne remained trapped on the outdated hardware of the PlayStation 4 and never received any updates for the PS5. Fortunately, the game’s story is finally beginning to move forward, and thanks to fan efforts, the project is no longer tied exclusively to Sony systems.

The announcement of a console from one of the market leaders is always an exciting event that sparks heated discussions online. Everyone talks about the device's design, specs, and features. However, gamers primarily purchase gaming platforms not for their looks, screen size, or special buttons, but for the games. Unfortunately, there’s little official information about future titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s unlikely we’ll learn much before April. So, while we wait, let’s analyze the situation and speculate about what we might play on this highly anticipated hybrid console in the coming years.
