Despite GTA VI moving into next year, 2025 is a stellar year for new games. It’s already seen the release of AAA juggernauts like Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin’s Creed Shadows alongside standout indies like Blue Prince and The Midnight Walk, with much more to come, including Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch lineup csgocase.net.
If you, like me, are looking forward to Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi drama Mickey 17, you should definitely keep your eye out for this weird and wild survival adventure. Set on an inhospitable planet, The Alters puts players in the role of Jan Dolski, a space miner who must navigate a gigantic circular space station to stay out of the reach of the planet’s deadly sunlight. With no one else to aid him, Jan must rely on the Alters — cloned versions of himself from alternate timelines — to help him conquer the planet’s resources and devise a way to return home. —Toussaint Egan
Not only are we getting a new Doom game in May, but we’ll also be seeing the next chapter in the Elden Ring universe as well. Looking further ahead, there’s also plenty of exciting new games for the rest of the year, with the likes of Borderlands 4, and the release of Nintendo’s new Switch 2 console (and a slew of upcoming Switch 2 games), even if GTA 6 has moved to 2026. So yeah, keeping up with all the latest gaming news is no easy task. But that’s where we come in. We’re here to help you keep track of all the upcoming Xbox Series X games, upcoming PS5 games, upcoming PC games, and upcoming Switch games in the pipeline.
Bright new additions to players’ arsenals
Speaking to Sky Sports, Arteta emphasized the importance of bringing in players who can immediately improve the squad. “First of all, someone that can impact the team. Bringing in bodies doesn’t help at all, it’s about somebody that can impact immediately & bring something we don’t have,” he stated. This approach signals that Arsenal is not merely looking to fill gaps but rather targeting players who can elevate the team to new heights.
That does run alongside another message from within the club. The team is close. The absolute wrong thing to do now would be to get panicked into recruitment decisions that don’t fit with this step-by-step process.
That also plays into why there isn’t that much worry about the drastic domestic points drop-off. Arsenal feel they actually did OK, given the many injuries, to the extent that the players felt so secure in second for so long that they have taken their eye off the ball in the league. It may yet have an effect against Liverpool, just as it did against Bournemouth last week.
The 20-year-old has bagged a total of three goals and six assists in all competitions this season, playing both out wide and as an attacking midfielder. Since joining Leicester from KRC Genk last summer, he’s taken to English football quickly despite his young age, and has even earned plaudits from Pep Guardiola.
The constant counterargument is “that’s football” and the need to adapt, but Arteta’s staff would say that’s precisely the point. They talk of how Jurgen Klopp missed key players in 2020-21 and 2022-23 and tried to play the same way, but suffered drastic drop-offs. The same was true of Pep Guardiola in November, before Manchester City spent close to a quarter of a billion.
Inventory update in a popular game
Who knew cowboy life could be so organized? For being such a massive open world RPG, Red Dead 2’s inventory management system is relatively tame. Broken down into a handful of categories within Arthur’s satchel or his horse’s saddle, you can sort between crafting items, food, healing items, clothing, and weapons relatively quickly. The one drawback is that the category icons are a bit small and it can be difficult to remember what items fall under which category, but it simplifies a system that could otherwise get overwhelming very quickly.
Embark on a unique adventure in Dredge, a game that combines fishing and Lovecraftian horror. As a fisherman, you’ll catch fish, complete quests, and unravel mysteries. Upgrade your boat and equipment to face the dangers that lurk in the shadows. With captivating visuals and audio, you’ll be immersed in this meticulously crafted universe.
This choice may be controversial, but hear me out. If you know how to use the UI in Baldur’s Gate 3, this system is second to none. Especially if you’re playing on PC. Everything is searchable thanks to a handy search bar at the top of the UI, there’s a built in filtering system, and if you’re really particular about how you manage your stuff, you can even self manage using various backpacks, pouches, and even books. It’s very easy to become overwhelmed by the items in your inventory if you don’t keep things tidy, but it’s also very easy to correct by using the built-in filtering systems. It’s forgiving, and for an ADHD-addled mind like mine, that’s a godsend.
In this case, we should look at how other games handle inventories in which vast amounts of loot take residence. We have to remember Skyrim’s inventory is seemingly infinite, but most players won’t invest all their level-up points into Stamina just so they can carry more worthless axes around. ARK: Survival Evolved, another game with an inventory whose maximum capacity revolved around a « weight » mechanic, has a grid-based inventory. It’s actually really ugly and an absolute mess, but it’s a step up from Skyrim.
These are all real problems Hearthstone’s inventory is facing. Without more control given to players, the inventory will continue to grow and turn into an even larger misshapen mass than it already is. That said, however, Hearthstone’s inventory design is still great in a number of ways:
DelirusRex: Best inventory system? What has the absolute best inventory system?! Does yanking a minigun, RPG, railgun, golf club, and a whole damn sniper rifle out of your front pocket on the streets of L.A. count? Cause if it does, GTA V.
