Skyrim is one of the most popular role-playing games of all time. The open-world RPG captivates players with its world, mechanics, and occasionally with its bugs – even today. One of the most well-known tactics to trick the game is accidentally found within it.
What trick is it? In the world of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, you can do almost anything. You can pick a fight with anyone and steal almost any item in the game. However, when it comes to theft, you have to be careful. If you get caught, you end up in jail.
To trick curious guards, you can use a pot, kettle, or bucket. If you place these on the heads of NPCs, they won’t see you pocketing items. This simple but effective trick wasn’t intentionally placed in the game. The developers didn’t know anything about it before the release of their role-playing game.

No one knew this was possible before release
What do the developers say about the bucket tactic? In the FRVR podcast, designer Bruce Nesmith, who worked on Skyrim, talked about the feature. He revealed that such a thing was not tested beforehand. At about 1 hour and 4 minutes, Nesmith explains:
And by the way, it was an accident. No one had known about it. I don’t think we even tried to put a bucket on someone’s head, and as far as I know, that only came out after the game’s release.
Bruce Nesmith on the trick to steal without being noticed (via Spotify)
Due to the many systems that partially interconnect, it is quite difficult to test everything in a game like Skyrim before release. You never know what players will try and what interactions may arise that you might not have thought about beforehand.
What else has Bruce Nesmith done in his career? He worked as a designer on The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall in 1996. He was also involved in Oblivion as a quest designer. For Skyrim, he took on the role of lead designer. In 2021, he left Bethesda and has since been working as an author.
Skyrim is still extensively played by gamers, thanks to its large mod community, and aspects like the bucket trick certainly contribute to that. However, even though the trick is infamous, it didn’t make it into Starfield in its original form. But there is an alternative trick that will also help you achieve your goal: So yes – buckets turn you into master thieves in Starfield – but a bit differently than in Skyrim

During the final launch on Steam, Pax Dei was able to celebrate increasing player numbers, but there is also a lot of criticism. The developers now reveal what is on the to-do list for upcoming updates.
What are the developers planning? On the official Discord channel of Pax Dei, the officials explain that they were able to welcome many new players on the servers at launch and therefore received a lot of fresh feedback.
Reason enough to present an updated to-do list of changes and improvements that are to be implemented with the upcoming updates – however, they do not reveal a specific release roadmap yet.

Pax Dei verlässt Early Access, hier seht ihr den Release-Trailer zum Mittelalter-MMORPG
Long To-Do List for Pax Dei
Here are the main points from the list:
Properties & Building
Adjustable Permissions: Plans are already in place and work is underway. The devs are waiting for a final version before going live. It should come sooner rather than later.
Transfer of Property Ownership: Currently being worked on.
Gifting/Selling Properties: On the to-do list.
Trees Growing Through Structures: For now, the developers want to at least prevent small trees (seedlings) from growing on properties and hide small foliage under foundations. There is no exact release date for this.
Properties and the “Hole in the Middle” of Four Adjacent Parcels: Will be fixed at some point.
Move Placed Structures/Chests: Will be implemented, but it is still unclear when.
Allow Placing Properties Over Roads Without Blocking Other Players: Should be possible, but it is not yet in the works.
Economy & Inventory
Buy Tokens Only Without Premium Bonus: In progress.
Recycling and Direct Crafting from Inventory: On the list.
Buy/Sell Orders: Designs exist for this; they will be implemented as soon as time allows. Purchase orders are a major feature and will be an important part of a future content update.
Stack Sizes Are Too Small: This will be part of an upcoming adjustment to the crafting system.
Inventory and Chest Sorting & Transfer: There are designs for some of these points and the developers are giving high priority to this: “It is one of the most important things we could be doing right now.”
Crafting & Equipment
Update for the Crafting System, Which Is Quite Laborious: On the list of immediate tasks.
Shifting Repairs to Consumables: That is on the way. In the meantime, the devs want to at least simplify repairs, allowing everything to be repaired at any crafting station so you don’t have to jump between all of them to finish your equipment repairs.
Combat & Skills
Change Cooldown for Weapon Switching: Designs already exist, and the devs will work on it as quickly as possible. Should come soon via a patch.
Improve Bow Skill, Which Is Difficult to Level: On the list.
New Weapons: The developers are currently working on at least one new weapon type and will add more in the future.
Removal of the Shield Bash: At the moment, main CC abilities are found in some of the weapon and equipment spells. Shields are supposed to receive more attention, and more options for off-hand items and their uniqueness should be provided.
Duelling: On the to-do list.
Miscellaneous
Some Resources (Mainly Plants) Are Too Small to Be Easily Recognized: A fix is coming as soon as possible.
Additional Roles for Clans: In preparation.
Re-add Map Legend: The developers had to remove the map legend as it was not localized, and they are currently working to make it available again as soon as possible.
No author has provided material for as many movies as the horror master Stephen King. Even though he is not satisfied with some adaptations, he was grateful for the ending of a horror film because it differed from his book.
Which film is it about? In 1981, Stephen King published the novel Cujo, which was adapted by director Lewis Teague just two years later. In the film, the Saint Bernard Cujo is bitten by a rabid bat.
Slowly, the dog goes insane due to the disease and terrorizes not only his own family but the entire neighborhood of a suburb. The film changed the original ending of the novel, but as the lead actress Dee Wallace, known from E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial, revealed in a recent interview, Stephen King actually liked it.
A more modern Stephen King adaptation can be found in The Monkey.
Select a MMO video…
Even Stephen King thanked the filmmakers
What does Dee Wallace say about the ending of the film? In the novel version of Cujo , the child Tad Trenton, played by Danny Pintauro, dies at the end of the book. In the film, this situation was changed. There, Tad survives the events of the film, and the character played by Dee Wallace takes care of Cujo.
In an interview with Remind Magazine, the actress explained that the director, the producer, and she decided against the ending of the novel. Stephen King even reportedly called their producer to thank him. She says: He [Stephen King] has never received so many hate messages about something as he did about the killing of the child at the end of Cujo.
What about other adaptations? Ironically, Stephen King has a completely different opinion on one of the most famous adaptations. In 2016, he stated in an interview with Deadline that he is not a fan of the film The Shining. In the film, he particularly has a problem with the character of Jack Torrance, who, according to him, has no arc in the film.
In the film, he misses the visible change of the character: In the book, he is a man who struggles with his mind and ultimately loses it. For me, that is a tragedy. In the film, there is no tragedy because there is no real change.
Even in 2025, adaptations of Stephen King’s works will not stop. In 2025 alone, there are four films adapting short stories or novels by the author: The Monkey, TheLong Walk, TheLife of Chuck, and The Running Man. You can find more horror films here: 9 horror films that even scaredy-cats can watch

It may be hard to believe today, but throughout its existence, humanity has created some robust things that are built to last. A gamer uses perhaps the most stubborn electronic device to support the graphics card in his PC case.
What device are we talking about? It’s the good old Nokia phone, which, in the 90s and early 2000s, it felt like almost everyone owned in some variant, to send SMS, make calls, or play Snake.
Some versions of the Nokia phone are so robust and battery-efficient that countless memes have emerged about the device over time. Here are a few examples (via google.com):
A man finds a long-lost Nokia 3310 after 20 years, still has 70 percent battery.
If you ever want to feel useless, remember there used to be a protective case for Nokia phones.

In a strong survival game on Steam, you will become a vampire, but to become a powerful lord like Dracula, you first need to build up powers and a castle. Currently, you can get it at half price or as part of a subscription.
What game is it? Released in 2022, the survival game V Rising entered Early Access on Steam and went from a hidden gem to a major Twitch hit. Two years later, the 1.0 version of the game was released, and since then, the game has offered many contents for every type of player:
As a weak vampire, you must gain new powers and, of course, suck the blood of your victims.
From the iso perspective, you fight with various weapons and abilities against all kinds of opponents.
To protect yourself from the sun, you need to build a shelter, which you can construct into a gigantic castle.
For this, you gather resources and craft items and machines that automate processes but also protect your castle.
Servants are, of course, also a must in a vampire castle.
You can enjoy the entire game together with or against other players.
So with V Rising, you can’t go wrong during the spooky season, especially if you also enjoy fighting in survival games.

Gothic Horror on Steam
What makes V Rising so special? The setting is a change compared to other major survival games. Instead of classic forest or jungle areas, there’s a gothic horror world as a setting, which is seen less frequently. If you want to have the classic feeling like in a Dracula movie, V Rising is a good choice.
The various weapons and abilities in combination with the iso perspective also ensure variety in combat and showcase different facets of the vampire mythos. The enemy variety includes not only simple humans but also bosses that require a more thoughtful approach.
And if you like building beautiful castles, V Rising offers several options, including cosmetic DLCs. One of them is even a crossover with the legendary Castlevania series.
V Rising is also very popular on Steam. Of over 103,000 reviews, 89% are positive. The content, combat, and base building are especially praised. According to SteamDB, there were between 3,300 and 10,000 players in the game at the same time last week, depending on the time of day.
How much does V Rising cost currently? Until November 4, you can get V Rising on Steam at a 50% discount for €17.49 instead of €34.99. If you already own the game but want to beautify your castles, various DLCs are also on sale.
If you own a PS5 and also have the PlayStation Plus Extra subscription, you can play V Rising without additional costs since October 2025. However, keep in mind that Steam and PS5 do not have crossplay. So if you want to play cooperatively, your friends must be on the same platform.

Battlefield 6 has an impressive degree of detail. This is great for the eyes, but can also cost you your virtual life in heated battles.
What details are captivating? The wonderfully crumbly destruction physics is immediately eye-catching in Battlefield 6, as entire building walls collapse into large clouds of dust and particles.
However, there are many small details that please the eye. For instance, the smoke that disperses differently in various areas, depending on obstacles and objects. Or all the useful items in the supply crates of the … well … suppliers, which become emptier through use.

When can the degree of detail threaten virtual life? You must be especially careful when you are near explosive objects. Your equipment can also be dangerous – as a video currently shows on Reddit.
It shows a pioneer who has selected mines from his equipment and is therefore carrying them in both hands. In this not yet deployed state, it is by no means cosmetic and can already be detonated by targeted shots. A detail that one of the player’s enemies takes immediate advantage of. BANG!

Oh beautiful Tyria
What distinguishes the graphics of the MMORPG? When Guild Wars 2 launched 13 years ago, it was among the most visually stunning representatives of the genre. The characters, landscapes, and cities were bursting with detail. The reflections in the water were jaw-dropping. Large towns felt – also due to the ambient sounds – wonderfully alive.
Over time, the pure graphics quality has naturally become a bit outdated. In one visual aspect, Guild Wars 2 still ranks among the best that the genre has to offer: its art design. The world of Tyria looks as if it has sprung straight from a watercolor painting.
As with other audiovisual landmarks like Persona 5, all interface elements in Guild Wars 2 integrate seamlessly into this style. The world map even features a smooth zoom functionality. Everything feels coherent and stands out noticeably from many other MMORPGs.
One Piece is getting a new German dubbing on Netflix. Many of the old voice actors are back, and they want to start from the beginning. But not everything remains the same, and especially a name change is causing dissatisfaction.
But some details are also set to change. As Ninotaku explained in his original statement, some names, terms, and pronunciations in the new dubbing will be adjusted to match the Japanese original. The German Ruffy will become Luffy. This is not well-received by many fans.
Ninotaku is part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.
The live-action series of One Piece continues in 2026:

Some things exceed our authority
How is the community reacting to the new dubbing? Under a X post from Ninotaku, the biggest issue seems to be the name change from Ruffy. Many fans find it unfortunate because they have grown up with it for so long.
Not only the anime series, but also the manga and the live-action series use the name Ruffy in the German version. Users like @Esartar86 (x.com) do not even want to watch the new dubbing because of the name change.
How is Ninotaku responding to the critical voices? In a longer statement on x.com, the German creator elaborated on the shitstorm. He explains that he can understand the fans’ dissatisfaction, especially since they have known the name for over 20 years in Germany.
They did try to talk to the Japanese licensor, but they could not be persuaded. According to Ninotaku, Toei wants to create a uniformity. He asks fans not to judge too quickly and not to blame the dubbing team: Some things exceed our authority and many matters we simply cannot discuss publicly.
For those who are not interested in a new dubbing, there is good news: The streaming service Animation Digital Network (ADN) has announced that starting from 13.11.2025, the old episodes with the original anime dubbing will be available to stream. It is also set to start with the East Blue arc. Thus, the old version will also be accessible again.
The director of Path of Exile talked about improvements in quality of life (QoL) and explained how the team is enhancing Path of Exile.
Who is he? Mark Roberts is the Game Director of Path of Exile. During a press preview for the new season, he answered questions from MeinMMO and other journalists. We wanted to know how he and the Path of Exile team are handling quality-of-life changes, meaning enhancements to existing aspects of the game.
Mark Roberts candidly revealed the strategy that makes Path of Exile and its successor so good.
Here you can watch the trailer for the new season “Keepers of the Flame”:
Start video
Path of Exile 2 shows features, bosses and trading system of “Keepers of the Flame” in the trailer
Secret strategy ensures good quality
What kind of strategy is that? Mark Roberts explained in the conversation that the Path of Exile team selects 10 themes to improve each season. These are not trivial matters, but 10 different systems and mechanics in the game that they want to revise for the next season.
Since its release in 2013, Path of Exile has received countless new systems, changes, and mechanics that all run parallel in the game. This makes it nearly impossible to improve everything at once. However, by focusing on 10 themes per season, the developers can deliver noticeable improvements in every season without having to overhaul everything each time.
How do they make the selection? Which themes the developers tackle each season is also explained by Mark Roberts. He says the team reviews where the problems are and what could be improved each season. The timing also plays a role.
Thus, systems that need to be unlocked a second or third time are less annoying than a mechanic that players must level up for the tenth or twelfth time before they can use it effectively. Therefore, some changes may only come after years.
Big changes also in the new season
What have they changed this time? In the new season “Keepers of the Flame”, the developers of Path of Exile have again made several improvements to the game’s quality. This time, the developers already explained in several videos on YouTube what players can expect.
One of the changes concerns the NPCs in the Heist endgame. From the new season onwards, these characters no longer need to be leveled up before they can be used effectively. Another change involves the Scrolls of Wisdom. These will be needed much less often, as various NPCs in towns and the hideout can now identify items for free.
However, the biggest change concerns trading. Starting with the new season, players will be able to sell their items easily through an auction house and will no longer need to rely on an active trading system.
That the developers ensure good changes with 10 focal points each season is part of Path of Exile’s success model. The long-term success of the ARPG proves that the strategy works and the developers are successful with their method.

The developers of a new survival game on Steam recognize that the huge open world alone will not be enough to attract players. Therefore, they present exactly the feature of their game that will convince people within seconds.
Which game is being talked about? It is the survival and open-world game “Guardians of the Wild Sky” by Blue Isle Studios, which will be released on Steam, as well as consoles. Players must survive in this world full of flying islands, build their own bases and custom-built airships, and explore their surroundings, whether by land or air – as the focus here is primarily on conquering the sky.
In this world, there are also magical beings known as the Guardians, with whom you can befriend. These can be small, cute plush creatures, but also much larger and more fearsome-looking monsters.
That the developers know exactly who their target audience is, is proven by their presence on social media. On TikTok, they posted a video to promote their game that could excite users of the platform in just a few seconds: “Those were three very convincing seconds, my friend.”
Here you can see the trailer for Guardians of the Wild Sky by Blue Isle Studios, which also showcases the mentioned feature:

“Developers who understand the difference between dragons and wyverns? I’m in” (Ayden)
What further information do the developers provide regarding the dragons? While many people are convinced by the aspect of tamable dragons alone, there are some users who want to know how strongly the developers’ hearts beat for dragon nerds.
In response to user executionbunni’s question about whether one can have a whole stable full of dragons, the developers confirm that you can definitely build one in the game.
Also, user daltondale has an important question and wants to know if players will gain the ability to turn into a dragon in the game, to which the developers only respond with a wink – but later confirm in another response.
The team at Blue Isle Studios proves that it is worth not only knowing but also understanding the interests and wishes of its target audience. On their TikTok account, the video featuring the tamable dragons has currently 316.3K views, making it by far the most viewed video they have posted. Another developer proves that being close to the community can be particularly valuable and is rewarded just a few days after the release of his game: Solo developer releases his first game on Steam, has 30,000 players 5 days later: “I’m going to eat a hell of a lot of spaghetti tonight”

In the forest of Elwynn, it will soon look prettier – but everywhere else too. One of the oldest creatures in World of Warcraft is finally getting an update.
Often, the overall picture of an expansion for World of Warcraft gets overlooked, yet it significantly contributes to the atmosphere of the game: updates to already known creatures. Because over the more than 20 years, many beings in WoW simply no longer look contemporary. Therefore, in Dragonflight, the Furbolgs and Gnolls were modernized, and now it’s happening to a few more peaceful creatures – cows. Exactly these have instantly won the community over.

“This looks better than most playable races now.” – Nebularith
A few hunters are also hoping to be able to tame the cows in the future to go into battle alongside them.
Cortyn says: For me, these small detail changes, like those to particularly old models, are often much more interesting than entirely new creatures. Seeing how the same things evolve in World of Warcraft over the years seems to have a special appeal for many WoW fans – including me.

For MeinMMO author Ody, Jurassic World Evolution 3 wasn’t originally on the list of the best games of 2025. However, upon release, he was proven wrong – and could hardly keep his fingers off the game.
Actually, Jurassic World Evolution 3 (JWE3) should not have gripped me as much as it currently does. I haven’t played either of the two previous parts extensively, and besides, it is based on the Jurassic World movies. These rely too heavily on generically looking screen monsters for my taste – call them hybrids or mutants – as opposed to focusing on how cool real dinosaurs can be. This is unlike the Jurassic Park trilogy, which I loved as a child.
Who is writing here? Ever since he can remember, Ody has been fascinated by dinosaurs – whether in movies, documentaries, or video games. From time to time, you can find him in the survival game Path of Titans; otherwise, he’s busy in Prehistoric Kingdom and Jurassic World Evolution 3 (or maybe bothering his friends to finally play a few rounds of Deathground with him).
A few weeks before release, the list of new features seemed too tempting for me to simply ignore the game: Modular building like in Planet Zoo and Prehistoric Kingdom? Count me in! Plus, the new baby versions of the animals already looked incredibly cute and just begging to be cuddled in the trailers (which can also be done with the new petting zoo).
The hype for the game hit me late but hard. When the game was released on October 21 at 4 PM, I immediately immersed myself in it for 8 hours straight. For me personally, JWE3 is already one of the best games of the year. But what makes it so good?
Start video
In Jurassic World Evolution 3 baut ihr euch den Dino-Park eurer Träume
A good building game that just happens to have dinosaurs
First and foremost, JWE3 is simply a good building game, whether you like the licence or not. Especially the modular building creates a lot of space for creativity that was simply lacking in its predecessor. Other park builders had a considerable advantage over the series, also because JWE always wanted to be as accessible as possible. However, Part 3 actually manages to cater to both camps.
If you want, you can now build your very own buildings and facilities from many different individual parts. They can be placed freely, opening up countless possibilities for individual structures. If you want to be as quick as possible, you can choose from some pre-made buildings. Due to time constraints, I have mainly used those for my parks, and they look really stylish.
Enclosures can also now be beautified much more easily, for example, with complex rock formations and strategically placed vegetation. In addition, the new environment tools should set standards for future park builders:
Waterfalls now automatically occur when you place water down a steep elevation
When raising and lowering the terrain, rocks appear that give the ground more texture
Ramps can be easily created and bring a whole new level of verticality to your parks
All in all, it has never been easier in any other game in the series to stamp out a beautiful park.
I built my first large park with several different species in just a few hours.
Jurassic World Evolution 3 even rivals a game for true enthusiasts
When it comes to the selection of animals, the base game offers a good balance between more modern, nature-inspired designs and the classic designs from the movies. If you want to have the Velociraptors from the movies in your park, you have just as much opportunity as someone who wants to get a large, feathered relative of the T-Rex into the zoo. For me, as a fan of realistic designs, a clear plus.
The new babies top it all off: They behave as one would expect from young animals and bring fresh life to every enclosure.
With the new tools, JWE3 outshines its biggest rival for enthusiasts, which is Prehistoric Kingdom. The park builder is still in Early Access but already provides many things that the Evolution series has been lacking.
Prehistoric Kingdom still offers unique features – such as flowing growth in its animals (in JWE3, young animals immediately become adults after a while without any intermediate steps), designs based on the latest research, and extinct mammals. However, JWE3 has caught up significantly in many aspects and is, in my opinion, currently the clearly more rounded game.
If you want to build your own dino park like John Hammond, there’s currently hardly any way around Jurassic World Evolution 3. The game is not perfect, but on a very good path. And it can get even better if developer Frontier listens to its dedicated community and makes adjustments in the right places.
Superman is almost overwhelmingly strong in both comics and in the movies. However, there have been several characters who have managed to take down the hero. We present to you 10 characters who were victorious.
For some comic fans, Superman is a boring character because he is very strong, acts morally good, and makes hardly any mistakes. However, there are indeed stories in which he faces defeat against his opponents.
This is always a special highlight, because Superman doesn’t carry his name without reason. Hardly any hero or villain can match him. Unfortunately, even the hero from the planet Krypton is not always at his best, and so it can happen that he sometimes falters.
The following 10 characters have proven in battle that Superman can indeed be taken down. Our main point here is that he loses a fight, not that he dies in the process.

Wonder Woman
Defeated Superman in: “Wonder Woman: Dead Earth” (2019)
That Superman faces heroes from his own ranks and ends up losing is already unusual. But how it turns out for him against Wonder Woman can only be described as painful and quite uncomfortable.
After all, as an Amazon, she fights exceptionally well and is quite strong. How strong exactly is shown in several stories. However, none is as merciless and brutal as “Wonder Woman: Dead Earth” by Daniel Warren Johnson. In this story, a nuclear attack from the humans occurs, which destroys the homeland of the Amazons, Themyscira, also known as Paradise Island.
Superman could have prevented this but failed. Fueled by anger, Wonder Woman charges at him, and a battle ensues that lays waste to the planet. Superman is badly beaten and dies in the end.
Wonder Woman then tears his spine and skull from his body – Mortal Kombat welcomes. Few of Superman’s defeats are as brutal.

Microsoft has announced a modern remake of the original Halo, which will be released on PS5 on the first day of release.
Which franchise is it about? Released in 2001, Halo: Combat Evolved was developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft; it was meant to kick off a legendary shooter series that has since seen numerous sequels.
The journey of Halo began on the Xbox and expanded to the PC over the years. However, until now, players on Sony PlayStation consoles have missed out. While Halo was one of the major exclusive titles on Xbox for many years, PlayStation players have been waiting in vain. This is changing now, as reported by the colleagues at GamePro.
Which Halo is coming to PS5? Microsoft has officially presented a remake of the first original Halo, which will also be released for PS5: Halo: Campaign Evolved. You can see the first trailer of the game in new graphical splendor here:

The original Halo in new guise on foreign consoles
What kind of game is that? Halo: Campaign Evolved is a remake of the campaign of the first Halos, Halo: Combat Evolved. The shooter will be released in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 and will be included in selected versions of Game Pass on release day.
Halo: Campaign Evolved remains true to the story of the original game but also features three new missions with Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, which take place before the actual story. You can play the three new missions as well as the original story with friends in 4-player online co-op or 2-player couch co-op. Online crossplay is also supported.
As part of the remake, the controls, sound design, and of course the graphics have been improved. Visually, the remake is impressive thanks to Unreal Engine 5.
The end of the console war is becoming increasingly clear: It is now clear that the console war is largely over.
After Xbox Chief Phil Spencer emphasized in February 2025 that he – unlike before – does not want to bring all players to Xbox anymore, Microsoft is now showing with various releases that they want to gradually offer former exclusives on PlayStation.
When thinking of comic series, people often associate it with the costumed superheroes of Marvel. But on Netflix, you can watch a fantasy series that has a strong resemblance to Supernatural starting on 25.10.2025.With 6 seasons, you also have plenty to watch.
Which series is it about? If you’ve only followed the films from the comic publisher DC, you might not even know that numerous comic series were released in the 2010s.
Among them were classic hero adaptations like The Flash, Arrow, or Supergirl. But also lesser-known characters received their series adaptations. This includes Lucifer. The series consists of a total of 6 seasons, and you should take a look, especially if you miss Supernatural.

German trailer for season 1 of the fantasy series Lucifer
An incredibly powerful character
What kind of series is Lucifer? Lucifer Morningstar, the Lord of Hell, no longer wants to continue his regular job, which is why he opens a nightclub in Los Angeles. In doing so, he also gets involved with the LAPD and helps solve cases with his supernatural powers.
Additionally, in the 6 seasons of the series, there are also familial conflicts and stories, as angels and Lucifer’s father, God, are also involved. Someone has to take care of Hell after all. As a captive angel, he unites many elements of Christian mythology.
The series is based on the comic series by Mike Carey. The character originally comes from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman universe. The series was published under DC’s Vertigo label, which also deals with more challenging themes.
In the DC universe itself, Lucifer is by far one of the most powerful beings of all time. He is an omnipotent entity that can only be defeated by a few characters. However, he is neither a hero nor a villain. But that doesn’t matter for the series.
Perfect for fans of Supernatural who aren’t interested in classic superheroes
How is the series received? All the superhero stuff with strength and great fights is irrelevant for Lucifer. It mainly revolves around the relationships of the characters and the mysterious events in the modern fantasy world. Love and family also play a role, but it involves gods and angels.
It also gets humorous at times, which makes the series interesting for fans of Supernatural as well. One should just not expect too high of a production quality. However, for what Lucifer attempts to realize, it is definitely watchable. Accordingly, Lucifer is primarily a light series that offers comic fans something that is quite different from other superhero series.
On IMDb, the series holds a rating of 8.0 out of 10 stars with over 380,000 reviews. In 2021, according to the market research company Nielsen, the series even gathered more streaming minutes than the first season of Squid Game. However, one must consider that Lucifer had significantly more episodes.
Originally, Fox canceled the series in 2018 after 3 seasons. However, Netflix took over the production of the series due to strong fan support and released 3 more seasons by 2021 (via Deadline).
Starting on 25.10.2025, you can watch all 6 seasons of Lucifer on Netflix.

If the random spread of weapons in Battlefield 6 is ruining your kills, a small mistake in your gameplay might be to blame, says a Twitch streamer.
What is the problem with the weapons? In Battlefield, there is the so-called Weapon-Bloom. This is the random spread of a weapon’s shots when firing. The bullets do not hit where the sights aim due to the Weapon-Bloom.
During the beta of Battlefield 6, the Weapon-Bloom became a topic of discussion among players. Since the full release of the shooter, however, the discussion has become increasingly heated. Many players are frustrated and convinced that the random spread is stronger than it should be (see Reddit).
The developers announced on October 14, 2025, that they had found two bugs affecting the Weapon-Bloom and are working on them (via X).

Players make a mistake when shooting
In what way are you to blame? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber ottr – known for strong gameplay in games like Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and The Finals – is currently mainly playing Battlefield 6. In a clip that you can see on TikTok, the streamer talks about a mistake that many players make in Battlefield 6, leading to stronger Weapon-Bloom.
In many shooters, weapons have a so-called First-Shot-Accuracy. This describes how precise the first shot of a weapon is. It usually hits much more accurately than the subsequent shots in sustained fire. In some games, the second or third bullet is still relatively accurate.
The streamer says that the precision of the first bullets is the best way to avoid Weapon-Bloom. Because while in other games the recoil often increases with longer fire, in Battlefield 6 the Bloom mainly worsens. This, in turn, does not start with the first bullet.
The big mistake that many players make, according to ottr, is firing the weapon continuously without pause while switching from hip-fire to aiming down sights. The first shot is only so precise if you use the sights. However, many players in Battlefield first shoot from the hip at the opponent at the beginning of a shooting switch and then go into aim while shooting – especially in close-range fights.
The streamer says: When you switch to aiming while shooting, the shots are already imprecise due to the spread. You have already lost the precision of the first bullets and see the full extent of the spread in the sights.
What should you change? Shooting from the hip is an important and strong mechanic that you should maintain. Many good players also rely on the laser in their weapon loadouts to better deal with hip-fire and keep the upper hand in close-range duels.
To not suffer under the Weapon-Bloom now, you should pause briefly before going into aim. The weapon can “recover” and when you continue firing through the sights afterward, you enjoy the full precision of your rifle again.

In addition to the overall best weapons, we also show you the representatives of each category that have the least recoil and random spread: Battlefield 6: Best Weapons – With these firearms you are always perfectly equipped

The trailer for the latest DLC of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is here and recalls one of the best quests from the predecessor. Heinrich travels again to a monastery, although this time there is a different mystery to uncover.
What is the new DLC about? In Mysteria Ecclesiae, Heinrich conducts investigations in a remote monastery. Suddenly, a deadly plague spreads there – and he is supposed to find out what is behind it. The developers promise that this will be Heinrich’s “most haunting investigation yet”.
You can get a first impression of the new DLC in the trailer. It is set to be released on November 11, 2025.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sends Heinrich back to the monastery in its last DLC
Which quest from the predecessor does the DLC remind of? With its setting, the last DLC recalls “The Needle in the Haystack,” a main quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance and one of the most memorable quests in the entire game.
In this quest, Heinrich was infiltrated as a novice into the Sasau monastery to locate someone there. To avoid drawing attention, he had to adapt to the daily life of the monks. For example, he was not allowed to miss communal prayer or meals, and for more serious offenses, he was even thrown out of the monastery.
How the new DLC ties into the gameplay of this quest is not yet clear from the trailer. Since Heinrich appears in his regular armor, he seems, at least, not to be undercover throughout.
Fans are already mourning the game
How is the trailer received by the fans? Players are definitely ready for the next monastery, as the comments on the trailer on YouTube show:
“PTSD from the Monastery quest in KCD1 intensifies,” jokes ethancarter.
marcdwonn9772 also says: “One of the best quests in KCD1, it turned a good game into a great game for me.”
However, a certain sadness is also spreading in the comments. After all, this is the last DLC for KCD2, as the trailer emphasizes once again. Many players, however, do not want it to end yet.

“The only thing that makes me sad is that this is the last one.” (AFOKHAOS)
