Summary A great villain can bring a game to life, particularly when players are given the opportunity to truly empathize by stepping into their shoes. Hidden revelations can leave players questioning their own morality and their experiences within the game world, opening up opportunities for redemption. Expect an avalanche of spoilers as we explore eight games that reveal the player character to be capable of great evil. Some games, like Undertale, the Infamous series, and the original Bioshock, allow players to choose between good or evil actions. Other games allow players to believe that they are a force for good…
Summary Devil Fruit abilities in One Piece can be selfless, supporting allies rather than just enhancing the user. Unique Devil Fruits like Barrier Barrier and Millet-Millet greatly aid allies in battles and missions. Characters like Betty, Kin’emon, and Mansherry use their Devil Fruits to help and heal others selflessly. The majority of Devil Fruit abilities seen throughout the series of One Piece tend to be very selfish and self-centered in how they work. For example, it’s not uncommon to see Devil Fruits that grant their hosts a sudden burst of power, or ones that are able to transform them into…
Jujutsu Kaisen’s legacy is not yet written in stone. Gege Akutami’s manga debuted in 2018 on Weekly Shonen Jump, with the creator taking inspiration from heavyweights like NGE and Hunter x Hunter. Like all new properties striving to share a spot alongside the likes of One Piece and Black Clover, Jujutsu Kaisen had a somewhat slow start to life before eventually exploding in popularity, partially thanks to the anime’s 2020 debut. After that point, Jujutsu Kaisen continued to grow and became the highest-selling shonen manga of the first half of 2024, a movement born from years of high-quality content and…
Summary Devil May Cry 3 revived the hack and slash genre with expanded combat and a charismatic protagonist. Street Fighter 4 saved the competitive edge of fighting games, bringing them back into the mainstream. Fire Emblem: Awakening breathed new life into tactical RPGs, making them both accessible and engaging. Considering how immensely competitive the video game industry can be, it’s inevitable that a few genres will end up being overshadowed over time, with some of them even dying out entirely. On the one hand, there have been a handful of genres that have managed to maintain a steady popularity ever…
Summary Iida’s potential in MHA was squandered, reducing him to a background character with minimal development. Yuno from The Future Diary started off strong, but devolved into predictability as the series progressed. Gaara’s evolution from a complex character to a mere political leader in Boruto was a major disappointment to fans. Nothing is more aggravating to anime enthusiasts than seeing a character with enormous potential being relegated, ruined, or horribly abused over the course of a series. Regardless of whether they were a powerhouse, an emotional anchor, or simply a fan favorite, their fall is particularly difficult to take as…
Completionists love chasing achievements and trophies in their favorite video games to attain as much success as possible. This also applies to role-playing games, although the sheer amount of effort that can go into getting 100% completion in the biggest RPGs around can be a tiresome affair. This is why players always appreciate video games that respect their time and help them unlock all the achievements in no time. It may take a robust playthrough or two, but the effort involved in achieving 100% completion for these titles is way lower than most other RPGs. Related 8 Best Tactical RPGs…
A Minecraft player has created an impressive transportation system that lets them quickly travel to different areas on a map. The contraption they created uses several materials, notably redstone, a key item for Minecraft players to take their experience to the next level. Redstone is the basis for making incredible contraptions in Minecraft. There is no shortage of examples of ideas shared by the community, such as a cooked chicken farm, a better way to organize items, or a bubble elevator. However, these concepts can go further, with players commonly building computers within Minecraft using redstone, and even recreating versions…
Summary Dead Space 3 lacked impact due to repetitive enemies and forced co-op, losing its edge in the horror genre. The Quarry suffers from slow pacing, diluting the horror experience, possibly benefiting from a shift to comedy. Callisto Protocol could have thrived by fully embracing hack-and-slash gameplay, distinguishing itself from Dead Space. Considering how popular horror games have become over the last few decades, it means any developer who wants to dive into the genre needs to ensure their game stands out from the crowd. While there have undoubtedly been a plethora of spine-chilling, immersive, and exciting horror titles released…

Anime sequels are so incredibly rare, you are better off assuming that every new show will never receive a continuation. Quality does not matter. Still, a few chosen anime get to live on beyond a single season, spreading their glory over years filled with, hopefully, worthwhile storytelling. Due to being extremely popular and extremely common, isekai anime with multiple seasons are not completely unheard of. That said, only a fraction of this genre’s many series get sequels, and they are not always the best of the best. Heck, The Devil Is A Part-Timer and Log Horizon might have been better…
