Following the success of Papers, Please, the market has been flooded with “work simulators” that focus on routine tasks requiring attention to detail and patience—some rely on complex mechanics, others on the storyline, and still others attempt to combine both approaches. Trainwatch—a new project from Harvester Games, the creators of The Cat Lady—combines border checkpoint duties, time management, and narrative storytelling; we tried out the closed beta and are ready to share our impressions.

It’s hard to imagine the “Popular New Releases” section in game launchers without idle games these days—they’ve become a staple in gamers’ lives. Most of these games follow the “click, wait, upgrade” formula, but Pinata Smash: Incremental Circus from indie studio Punk Func Games aims to rethink the genre. We tried out the closed beta and are ready to tell you whether the game is worth the wait.

Marvel and fighting games have been inseparable for three decades, but in recent years, superheroes have all but disappeared from the genre. Arc System Works, with support from PlayStation Studios and Marvel Games, has changed that by releasing Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls for PC and PS5 in August 2026. Here’s a look at the pros and cons of what is arguably the fighting game of the year.

In recent years, cooperative games have become increasingly popular thanks to social media and streamers, but many of them quickly lose their appeal due to a lack of content and developer support—as was the case with games like Lethal Company. When I first heard about Big Walk, I thought it was just another run-of-the-mill project, but as the title suggests, things turned out to be more complicated than that. Let’s take a closer look.

In the spring of 2024, an absurdly simple game called Banana was released on Steam. The objective was to click on a banana to increase a counter and earn skins of varying rarities—some of which were worth hundreds of thousands of rubles—and the game’s peak concurrent players exceeded 900,000. This project clearly demonstrates how an element of absurdity and the simple mechanics of idle games can hold the attention of millions of players, a phenomenon explained by the psychological triggers underlying the genre. In this article, we’ll trace the evolution of idle games and explore the psychological mechanisms they employ.

In 2026, Ubisoft decided to re-release the cult classic. Black Flag Resynced was developed from the ground up using the latest version of the Anvil engine—the same one used in the recent Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Technically, it’s something between a remake and a remaster—a sort of “director’s cut”: the changes mainly affect the visuals and gameplay. Today, we’ll be discussing the main differences.

Halo: Campaign Evolved launches on July 28, 2026, for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Owners of the Premium Edition have had access since July 23. It’s a full-fledged remake built on Unreal Engine 5, which, according to the developer, offers a fresh perspective on the familiar story campaign. But upon closer inspection, it copies the original so faithfully that you can’t help but wonder: was the game really worth it, given that the Master Chief Collection is already available on last-gen Xbox consoles and PC?

In June 2026, all seven episodes of the second season of Netflix’s Avatar: The Legend of Aang were released. In its first four days, it garnered 8.7 million views—compared to 21.2 million for the first season. Critics gave the sequel a warmer reception: according to them, the series has become darker, the fight scenes more convincing, and the drama deeper. Fans, however, are furious because the series has lost the best elements of the animated film: character depth, and scenes and episodes that were iconic to the story. But is it really all that bad?

Stardew Valley, released in 2016 as a spiritual successor to Harvest Moon, effectively reinvented the social farm-sim genre and opened it up to a mass audience. The project's popularity spawned an entire wave of imitators — some successful, some less so. A fresh "riff on the theme" — the debut project from a small Dutch studio, Little Chicken — adds a distinctive setting to the familiar formula: urban fantasy featuring vampires, werewolves, witches, and other fantastical creatures. I spent several dozen hours with the new release to tell you what the developers got right, and what they didn't.

Fans of survival sandboxes can count themselves lucky: at least a couple of new releases show up on popular launchers every month. Some try to offer something new, while others simply copy a proven formula with minimal innovation. The latest entry in the genre — Hawthorn — bills itself as an "RPG sandbox from developers at Bethesda, BioWare, and Naughty Dog," set in an original setting: a charming fantasy world of talking animals. We played through the short demo presented to the public at the latest Steam festival and are here to tell you what direction the creators have in mind.
