The platform Steam offers numerous games that you must buy. Among them are also free titles. MeinMMO has put together a list of 10 free games that have reached “God Tier” ratings.
What is “God Tier”? If a game has over 100,000 ratings and they are very positive, it can be classified as “God Tier”. These games are loved by the community and are among the best of their kind.
How was this list created? Using statistics from the website steam250.com, we created a list of 10 free games that are highly rated. We show what makes them special, when they were released, if they include in-game purchases, and how player ratings look.
Starting with one of the most popular hero shooters of all time.

What is Team Fortress 2 about? The team-based hero shooter Team Fortress 2 from Valve has been one of the most popular in its genre for over 15 years. With nine different classes, you can battle your opponents in various modes from “Capture the Flag” to “King of the Hill”.
Each of these nine classes has unique abilities and weapons. Whether you play as a fast Scout or the slow Heavy is up to you. There is something for every playstyle.
Team Fortress 2 still has many active players and offers Steam Workshop support for new community content.

The 2nd part of The Last of Us is also being adapted as a live-action series. A new trailer shows how creepy it will be. However, there is also a scene that particularly touches MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen.
My love for The Last of Us wasn’t a classic “at first sight”. It took several tries before I immersed myself in the post-apocalyptic adventure. I even paused the first part just before the finale for several weeks because I wasn’t getting along with the gameplay.
But after finishing the 1st part, The Last of Us 2 completely consumed me. So much so that I even named one of my cats after Ellie.
Especially the love and affection from Joel for Ellie, which develops throughout the games, touched me deeply. Therefore, I found it even more beautiful that in the new trailer for Season 2, one of the most emotional moments between the two is shown. It is my absolute favorite scene.
You can watch the new trailer for Season 2 here:

The Last of Us Season 2 – New Trailer Shows Horror and Emotions
New trailer for Season 2 shows one of my favorite moments from The Last of Us
Warning: The following contains a spoiler for a flashback from The Last of Us 2 and the first emotional character death of the game.
In The Last of Us 2, there is a section where Joel goes to an abandoned museum with Ellie. The exhibition at the “Wyoming Museum of Science and History” has been deserted for several years but is still intact. The museum visit is a surprise for Ellie’s 16th birthday.
Among the exhibits is a hall dedicated to dinosaurs. Here Joel and Ellie stroll through the exhibit of different prehistoric animals and even learn something along the way.
But the highlight comes next: Joel takes Ellie to the space exhibition. The teenage girl is a big fan of space exploration and often drops fun facts on the topic. She is excited about the various displayed helmets and even tries one on.
And then comes the moment that is briefly shown in the new trailer: The two find a capsule designed for re-entry into the Earth’s orbit. They climb inside, and Ellie plays with the buttons. Then Joel pulls out another surprise: a cassette that recorded a rocket launch.
Ellie plays it back, closes her eyes, and begins to dream. It seems as if she is in outer space herself. There are no big, spectacular effects – you can only see a change in the reflection on her helmet, indicating where her mind is at the moment.
The girl is visibly thrilled and happy about the gift. The two laugh, get out of the capsule, and Joel hands Ellie a pin with a rocket on it.
This scene is especially emotional for me because it is a flashback. At that point, we already know that Joel is dead. Ellie and he parted on bad terms, and she was deprived of the chance to apologize for her behavior.
It becomes even more dramatic when she remembers the beautiful times with Joel. That’s why the sight of this one second shown in the trailer already gives me goosebumps. I am incredibly excited and hope that the scene is realized as beautifully as in the video game template.
MeinMMO author Caro is also a big fan of The Last of Us and its series adaptation. There are other scenes that are particularly important to her. In another post, she lists 10 scenes that HBO definitely needs to get right: 10 intense scenes from The Last of Us 2 that HBO must get right

Throughout Dragon Ball, there are many spectacular scenes in which Son-Goku and his opponents throw wild attacks at each other. Yet, it was a teleportation scene that made an animator sweat.
Who is the animator? Tadayoshi Yamamuro is the character designer of Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Heroes. He is also responsible for many fighters from Dragon Ball Z. By now, he has made it to Chief Animator and Illustrator of Dragon Ball.
The Japanese animator has a long-standing career. Thus, it is all the more exciting that in 2019, he revealed which was the hardest scene he had to draw. The scene is related to his favorite character, Janemba.
Actually, there would have been an end after Dragon Ball Z:
Start video
Dragon Ball: This is what the Z in the title stands for
The hardest scene from Dragon Ball was a teleportation scene
Which scene is it about? In the movie Dragon Ball Z: The Movie – Fusion from 1995, a small boy mutates into a demon named Janemba. The boy forgot to replace the tanks of a soul purification machine and, after its explosion, is overwhelmed with evil energy.
The villain teleports by dissolving into many small cubes that have colorful edges. For a special effect, these colors even change. In a tweet from DBPerfectShots on X, you can watch the scenes in which Janemba teleports.
As Yamamuro explains, this was the hardest scene he had to draw in his entire career. Nowadays, he would create this animation using CGI. Back then, the entire movie was still hand-drawn.
Why would it be created with CGI today? CGI is a technique that allows for the creation or enhancement of animations on a computer. Often, this saves the animators valuable time that they need for other tasks.
The CGI technique was first used in the 1970s and gradually became established in the 1980s and 1990s. Dragon Ball Z was in the transition phase and was still entirely hand-drawn.
If the movie had been released just a few years later, this time-consuming scene would have been created with CGI.
In Warhammer 40,000, there are numerous characters with… questionable paths. One of the most memorable is Lucius, a Chaos Space Marine of the Emperor’s Children. He can certainly write many deaths in his resume. The reason for his constant return: Slaanesh.
The certainly most well-known figures from Warhammer 40,000 are the Space Marines, and among them, the Primarchs, the “fathers” of the chapters, stand out even more. However, the truly thrilling and special stories are often found at the fringes of history.
Most of you probably know Horus by now, whose heresy almost wiped out the Imperium of Man. This has become something of common knowledge, even among those who only have a superficial understanding of Warhammer.
Lucius is considered one of the best duelists in the entire universe, having defeated numerous opponents with just one archaic sword. However, he was often outmatched in many battles, often resulting in death. But a God never wanted that to be the end.
Start video
Die Armee der Emperor’s Children im Tabletop von Warhammer 40.000
From Duelist to Traitor
Originally, Lucius hails from the world of Chemos, the former homeworld of the Emperor’s Children. In his youth, the young warrior was already known for his manifold talent, which later developed into expertise in the art of war.
Lucius showed an inclination towards sadism early on, slaughtering beggars and bandits, and even “accidentally” injuring his own students. Eventually, his talent in combat was recognized by the Emperor’s Children, and Lucius was inducted into the Legion.
During the Great Crusade, Lucius, along with other loyal Space Marines, was on Isstvan III, where they were to be slaughtered by Horus. Out of envy for another officer, he betrayed his brothers here and ultimately succumbed to his arrogance.
Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor’s Children, eventually took him personally into his bodyguard, and from then on, Lucius increasingly fell to Chaos – particularly Slaanesh, the Chaos God of Excess, whom the Emperor’s Children follow.
Lucius’ death is so exquisite that Slaanesh wants to experience it again and again
What makes the traitor so special is his death. Or, more precisely: his deaths. Technically, he first died in a duel against a Dark Angel, who punished him as a traitor. However, he was merely brought back to life by an apothecary.
During a gladiatorial match, Lucius later fell to Cyrius, the Lord Commander of the Emperor’s Children. His death was said to have been such an exquisite pleasure that Slaanesh himself took notice.
The Chaos God then cursed Cyrius, causing him to painfully mutate for weeks – until Lucius was reborn from his flesh. Cyrius, meanwhile, still exists as part of Lucius’ armor, where the distorted faces of all his victorious duel opponents are “immortalized” or, more precisely, trapped.
The Traitor Returns – in his Opponents or Elsewhere
Since then, the same thing has happened time and time again. If Lucius’ murderer experienced even a little joy at his death, the traitor was soon reborn in the body of his opponent. This even works with foes like the robotic Necrons: One of their fighters defeated Lucius, and a new Lucius soon emerged from his metal.
However, it seems that even joy in death is no longer necessary. In the newer, official lore, it states:
Lucius broke free from the flesh of a six-armed Xenos mercenary, light-years away from his place of death
he emerged from a pit of rotting Servitor parts
and centuries after his death, he was revived in the living metal of a Cryptek.
Finally, more is being tied to the Warcraft war mobs – old reputation factions are coming back. The first step is an unpopular expansion.
With the end of Dragonflight, Blizzard introduced the new feature of “war mobs.” It was advertised that many unlocks on the account would be consolidated. What one character has achieved should be available to many other characters as well.
In part, Blizzard has directly implemented this – albeit only for the (then) current content of Dragonflight and the latest expansion The War Within. With the next patch, the feature will finally be expanded.
Start video
For the 20th Birthday, Blizzard Speaks About ‘WoW 2’ and What We Think About It
What’s coming with Patch 11.1.5? Blizzard is keeping its promise and has begun incorporating “old” reputation factions into the war mob system. They are likely starting with the expansion Shadowlands – the last addon before “Dragonflight.” Many of the Shadowlands reputation factions are already tied to the war mob as “account-wide” on the PTR of Patch 11.1.5.
According to MrGM, the reputation factions from Shadowlands that will be account-wide so far (via X):
Ve’nari
The Ascended
Court of Night
The Wild Hunt
Death’s Advance
The Archivists’ Codex
The Enlightened
As it stands, your account seems to take the progress of the character that is furthest along with a respective faction – but this could still change.
What does this bring? The covenants and their associated reputation factions were already a thorn in the side of many players back then. Farming anima, reputation, and often other resources to unlock cosmetic items was very exhausting and cumbersome at that time.
With the reputation change, it should now be significantly easier to meet all desired goals on one character – or to switch if one prefers to do something with another class.
Anyone trying to evaluate a fantasy film based on its realism might quickly find themselves in despair. Works like ‘The Lord of the Rings’ are deeply rooted in their own fantasy world, which makes them seem particularly real and vivid. But to what extent have the fantastic battles oriented themselves towards reality?
Which scene is being discussed? Historian and expert in ancient warfare Roel Konijnendijk evaluates in an Insider video the ‘Battle of the Pelennor’ from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – the largest and most important battle of the Ring War.
In the historian’s evaluation, he addresses various moments of the battle and explains how realistic they are compared to similar ancient warfare. While it should not be ignored that the historian is a fan of the film, he also has some critical points that call the realism into question.
Image rights for the films of The Lord of the Rings are held by Warner Bros.
Start video
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – Trailer (German)
Realism is not everything
Theoden, the king of Rohan, rallies the Rohirrim for battle and strikes his sword against the spears of the cavalrymen. The historian has often been asked whether ancient or medieval leaders actually did this, but Bernard Hill, the actor for Theoden, came up with it himself.
Even if this scene is not historically accurate, it is still effective, as Konijnendijk explains: ‘He thought it would be a cool thing, so he did it. It works so well that you almost wish it was real.’

The speed and force of the cavalry is effective, but less realistic
In the film, the cavalry begins galloping at high speed towards the enemy army to enhance the drama along with epic music and hoof sounds. While the density of the horses is depicted quite realistically, the speed is not entirely accurate.
Instead, cavalry units have gradually increased their speed from a moderate pace as they approached the enemy. If they even reached a gallop, it was only in the last meters before reaching the opponents.
Whether horses were really ready to charge into enemies has long been a controversial hypothesis. Some say that the force of impact was more of an illusion, as riders tried to ride through gaps and break formations.
However, a second theory suggests that horses could indeed be trained to run into solid objects and thus into troops. This would emphasize the realism of the scene.
The realistic effect of the cavalry is finally seen when the orcs begin to dissolve their formation a bit uncertainly. This allowed the cavalry to roll over the monsters more easily.
The attack on the Oliphaunts makes sense, but attacking the rider does not
War elephants were a very threatening and effective method of warfare, as armies that had never seen such animals were absolutely terrified and overwhelmed. The simplest and probably best method against these elephants at the time was simply to avoid them.
The historian explains that this would be rather difficult due to the density of the Oliphaunts in ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ For this reason, the second-best course of action, which can also be seen in the film, had to be taken: constant bombardment using light infantry with archers.
What makes the expert smile is the focus on the rider of an Oliphaunt being shot by a spear: ‘I guess you could try to take them out this way, but the problem is not the fact that a rider controls the elephant, but that an elephant is coming at you. You want to ensure that the animal either runs harmlessly past you or turns back.’
Overall, the expert rates the Battle of the Pelennor at 8 out of 10 points. Some aspects are more realistic than expected, while others were created freely for dramatic effect.
He adds that it is difficult to quantify with a number, as it is fantasy, but The Return of the King will always be great. How other experts rate the realism of The Lord of the Rings can be learned in the following article, which relates to the weapons and armor of the works: Expert explains how realistic the weapons and armor in The Lord of the Rings are

Due to the lack of anti-cheat, you can customize your gaming experience in Monster Hunter Wilds with modifications. It’s uncool, though, if it ruins the fun for your fellow players.
How does cooperation work in Monster Hunter Wilds? If you allow yourself to be assigned to a regular lobby at the start of the game, you will land in a … well … lobby with up to 99 other players and can hunt monsters together with up to three other hunters from the lobby.
If you set out alone, you can also call for reinforcements for your already started quest via SOS flare, whereby the teammates can also come from outside your lobby. Those who play this way will likely encounter “randoms” quite frequently, meaning randomly assigned, unknown teammates. You can find more details about this here: Crossplay, Multiplayer, and Coop – How you can play with your friends in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Cheating is allowed, but …
What is the problem? Capcom has once again decided to forgo anti-cheat in Monster Hunter Wilds after World. You can mod the game and customize it to your needs – at least on PC.
With such mods, one can not only adjust the interface to display, for example, the health bars of monsters, but also influence the strength of your hunter. That might be okay when playing privately and solo to indulge in your power fantasy. However, during a cooperative hunt with other players, this can lead to frustration and bad vibes.
The community complains about cheaters: In discussions on various community platforms, players are already reporting negative experiences with cheaters.
Nidiis opens on Reddit with a demand: “Dear cheaters. Keep that crap offline. […] I don’t care if you want to sneak into endgame naked with beginner weapons because you like them. Or if you want to have the power fantasy of being a god. […] I don’t want my hunt ruined because you’re unwilling to play the game normally.”
GoldenGekko agrees on Reddit: “Yes, get that crap out of here.”
ExiledToBronze reports on Steam: “A guy just joined my game and killed a hardened Ajarakan (6*) within 30 seconds of joining. I didn’t even have time to reach the monster […] His damage value was only 250 or less. He had 0 gems in his equipment and so on.”
mh500372 fears on Reddit that the reports backfire: If anything, it probably only leads people to think: ‘Wow, I can get away with cheating?!’ Just to end up downloading cheats.”

After years of playing WoW Classic, a player finally arrives at the modern World of Warcraft – and is warmly welcomed by the community.
Fans of World of Warcraft have a great nemesis – namely other fans of World of Warcraft who play the “wrong” version. Especially defenders of Classic-WoW often make fun of “Retail,” which is the current version of The War Within. However, now and then someone is converted – and then happily accepted by the community.
The situation would only worsen with a WoW 2.0, but how does it actually stand?:

For the 20th Birthday, Blizzard Speaks About ‘WoW 2’ and What We Think About It
What has happened? In the WoW subreddit, the player 1ne_mind posts and confesses to having constantly railed against Retail – only to now realize how wrong he was.
I was a Classic enjoyer for 5 years. Originally, I stopped playing Retail with The Burning Crusade for reasons. Occasionally looking at Retail, I scoffed at it.
In short, I then decided to just try Retail and now I get it. Damn it, I get it.
The initial shock of the multitude of new things thrown at you is a bit disorienting, and I believe I haven’t fully grasped everything yet, but that’s not a big deal. It’s so much more forgiving regarding your time, there’s so much more customization, so many little things, more of everything, while still retaining the WoW feel.
I understand why people love Classic; chasing that nostalgia dragon is a hell of a trip. But at a certain point, when you keep repeating the same things, it gets a bit monotonous.
I don’t understand why there has to be this war
The community reacts extremely positively: The post received over 2,000 upvotes, and generally, 1ne_mind is showered with a lot of positivity. Many congratulate him on overcoming the fundamental “anti-attitude” and being able to enjoy both games:
“As someone who switches back and forth between Retail and Classic, the speed of the game is the biggest difference. Classic feels so damn slow. I can understand the appeal for people who do not want to play at high speed. But I always return to Retail because of the ‘Quality of Life’ improvements.” – ObligationSlight8771
“I understand why people love Classic, I understand why they love Retail, and I understand why one can love both. But I do not understand why there must be this eternal war between us and the endless comparison… when both are good for different reasons and playstyles.” – edelea
Do you know the feeling when there’s a certain thing that immediately ruins your fun when you encounter it? Several players come together and share what bothers them the most in video games.
Which feature ruins the games? In the Reddit forum, a user writes that there is a feature that takes away 70% of his enjoyment. He cannot handle it when the game takes control from him.
The user is bothered when tutorial screens pop up in the middle of the game. They interrupt his flow every time, for example, when he has just built up a combo in combat.
He demands that developers stop with this “stop-and-go bullshit”. He understands that he needs to learn how the game works – but in a different way.
Some players find Avowed lacking due to a feature:
Start video
Avowed – The Combat System in the Trailer
Many players have one feature that bothers them
What other features annoy players? The user triggers an avalanche of complaints, where other gamers express their grievances about additional features.
Paladin1034 mentions the current game Avowed as an example: “What ruins my fun is when the game presents an obstacle and then immediately explains what I should do. Because, yes, I would have figured that out if you’d given me FIVE DAMN SECONDS! I noticed that with Avowed. “You can burn the vines by shooting at these pods,” as soon as you see the bow. […] Let me fail first, or at least let me look around the room first.”
User sntcringe values his time: “Non-removable cutscenes before a boss fight. When I lose to the boss, I want to jump back in right away and not sit through a boring cutscene I’ve seen 15 times.”
User Fizziest_milk is not a fan of losing control: “When the game takes away your camera control to force you to look at something in the distance.”
Further examples mentioned in the comments include forced running sequences, inventory management, or even the durability of equipment. It seems there are many features that run through several video games and are not well received by many players.
Which games do it better? Another Reddit user mentions a game that gets the tutorial just right. RuneScape has a tutorial island where you learn the basics. Afterwards, you’re sent off into the wilderness with a “get lost” and left to your own devices.
Portal is also a game that falls into the positive example category in the comments. Here, the title playfully teaches you the basics. For example, to check if the player is using an inverted Y-axis, the player must look up on their own and use their preferred direction.
Half-Life 2 is said to have a great tutorial because – there isn’t one. The game is designed ergonomically, where the player is not interrupted.

On September 16, 2025, the popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons will receive a new starter set. It will come with some content that makes it particularly interesting – especially for newcomers who haven’t had much experience with D&D so far. But even experienced players and game masters will find some intriguing tricks in the set.
What is a starter set for D&D? Starter sets are designed to introduce newcomers to the basics of the pen-and-paper role-playing game without overwhelming them or taking too long. They aim to provide a quick entry into the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons, the rules, and the mechanics without going too deep.
They typically include one or more short adventures, pre-made character sheets and booklets with instructions for aspiring game masters and players, as well as smaller gimmicks like dice sets, standees, environment maps, or similar items.
In a sneak peek, Wizard of the Coast introduced the new starter set called “Heroes of the Borderlands.” What makes it different from previous starter sets and why it is exciting can be read here.
You can see the sneak peek video here:

For the box, there will be 3 booklets that can be used independently and combined: The Caves of Chaos, The Keep on the Borderlands, and The Wilderness. Each booklet contains short tutorials to help aspiring and returning players get started better.
In addition to the booklets, there are various maps for spells, NPCs, and monsters included, so that players and game masters don’t have to flip through different booklets while playing. There will also be a reference booklet where you can quickly look up important things. Additionally, there should be some environment maps and tokens that will help you visualize your adventure better.
In line with the modularity of the adventure, there will also be a kind of “building kit” for the first time, allowing you to create your own starter character. Previously, there were only fully pre-made character sheets from which players of the starter box could choose, making it easier for newcomers to play, but not to create.
This is what the new content of the set could look like – design and content are not yet final
The idea behind the new building kit system is that players can design their own character from various background, species, and class components without having to delve too deeply into the material. This way, they can get a more basic feel for creating a character in D&D more easily and directly.
In the video, the lead game designer of the new set, Justice Ramin Arman, emphasizes the replayability of the content. How exactly Wizards of the Coast means this in this context, given that the gameplay strongly depends on its players and the improvised decisions, remains to be seen.
Most likely, this primarily refers to the various combination possibilities through the modularity of the content, so that the same setup of game master and players can use the box multiple times without necessarily ending up in similar situations.
However, what is much more exciting is the fact that the development of the content focused on making it as accessible as possible, so that according to the lead game designer, it can be played more easily with many different types of players and age groups. Thus, the set should also be well-suited for families during a cozy game night.
There was also a focus on allowing participants to switch roles during the session, so that anyone interested can experience being the game master at least once and try it out, and vice versa.
This and the strong modularity make the box interesting for experienced players who want to have a quick game with inexperienced people or want to experiment with something.
If you want to get started now but have no one available to start a proper session with, we have some games for you that you can also play solo and that will give you the feel of a D&D session: 5 role-playing games like D&D for anyone who wants to play solo

A female author streams her workday on Twitch and can excite and inspire her viewers. MeinMMO introduces you to the extraordinary Twitch streamer.
This is the Twitch streamer: It is the author Anabelle Stehl, who regularly streams on her Twitch channel nervenausstehl. Her most streamed categories are Co-working & Studying, Just Chatting, and Stardew Valley (via sullygnome).
Co-working & Studying is a niche category on Twitch. Here, people stream themselves learning or working. This inspires others to be productive as well, as it creates a working environment to which one subconsciously wants to adjust.
In terms of watch time in the Co-Working & Studying category in the German language, nervenausstehl takes first place with over 30,000 hours (via sullygnome). On her two YouTube channels, the author uploads Let’s Plays from her past streams and content about her books.

Work life on Twitch inspires viewers
These are the contents of her streams: Anabelle Stehl usually streams from Monday to Friday. In the mornings, from 8 am to 12 pm she broadcasts her workday. With the help of a to-do list, she shares with her viewers what she still wants to accomplish and then works quietly on her own.
Most of the time, it is work on one of her books: writing or proofreading. But small tasks, like a meeting, answering emails, or making tea, also come up from time to time.
In the afternoons, the full-time author dedicates herself to what seems to be her second passion: video games. Most often, she plays Stardew Valley, Disney Dreamlight Valley, or The Sims 4, so frequently games from the Cozy Games category.
What’s special about it? Something that immediately stands out when following the streams of nervenausstehl is the community. In the live chat, nice conversations happen and viewers often share their achievements from their daily lives.
These can be very simple things, like household tasks, answering emails, or even writing 400 words for one’s own book. Other viewers congratulate the achievements and encourage each other in their productivity.
This creates a pleasant atmosphere and a community in which newcomers can easily and without hesitation integrate.
Anabelle Stehl shows, like many other streamers, that Twitch is not only a streaming platform for gaming content. Very unique niche communities can be formed.

A cult role-playing game from Japan will release a remastered version of the first two parts on Steam and other platforms in March 2025. And although the last main entry is already 19 years old, the development team has great plans for the franchise.
Which role-playing game is it? Konami has revived the Suikoden series. This is a video game franchise based on the Chinese novel “Water Margin.”
The unique aspect is that the idea of the “108 Stars of Destiny” has been embraced. Accordingly, there is the possibility of recruiting 108 fighters.
The individual games are interconnected story-wise. In each part, it is about taking possession of an old castle and letting it grow as a headquarters.
Political intrigue, revolution, and friendship are fundamental themes in Suikoden. The 27 True Runes are also an essential part of the franchise.
There is a mix of turn-based combat, duels, and large battles.
The first part of the main series was released in 1995, and the last one in 2006. Since then, only a few spin-offs like Suikoden Tierkreis in 2008 or the spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicles in 2024 have appeared.
Recently, the HD remasters of the first two parts have become available on Steam. And as Konami reveals, they have much more planned to revive the franchise.

Suikoden aims to compete with AAA titles
What plans do they have for Suikoden? Series producer Rui Naito revealed in an interview with Bloomberg that Suikoden is to be revived. They want to expand the series from where it left off. Unfortunately, the original creator Yoshitaka Murayama passed away in February 2024, and they want to make him proud now.
To revive the series, they want to refer to the notes of the original creators. Konami has preserved all the papers that were created in the 1990s. The series is now supposed to build on this foundation.
The ambitions are enormous:
We hope it will be a major title that can compete with other AAA titles. We hope we can take it one step at a time.
Rui Naito, series producer
Additionally, the developers are planning a new anime, a new mobile game, a manga, a concert, and a theater play. Naito even plans to bring Suikoden to film. He asks the Bloomberg interviewer if he has friends in Hollywood. If so, he should let him know.
Many horse fans play games like Red Dead Redemption 1 + 2 due to the lack of good alternatives to take a seat in the saddle. Now a Kickstarter campaign has been launched for a promising alternative for Steam and PS5 – and it reached its funding goal in just a few hours.
What game is it about? We’re talking about Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori from the German developer studio Aesir Interactive. The game promises a lot of what you can do with horses in games like Red Dead Redemption. Only without shooting and with a greater focus on the horses and riding through the prairie.
You will travel to Mongolia in the 13th century and take on the role of a young girl who explores the wilderness as a courier rider for her nomadic people.
In doing so, you can ride freely through the open world with its different environments, such as endless meadows, forests, steppes, deserts, or snowy mountains. However, to protect yourself and your people from diseases and threats, you need to choose your routes wisely.
Additionally, you can build, design, and expand your nomad camp by collecting resources and crafting items. And of course, you can tame, breed, and train horses to produce the prettiest and best horse over generations.
Besides the gameplay elements, there is also a mystical story surrounding the legendary Windhorse and its legacy, as well as various challenges and puzzles that you must master. Whether delivering cargo or herding animals – you immerse yourself in the life of your people.
Here you can see the announcement trailer for Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori:

Financed and exceeded in no time
The funding goal was reached in just a few hours: After the Kickstarter campaign for the game started on March 4, 2025, it didn’t take long. After about 19 hours, the funding goal of around €60,000 was already reached, and approximately 1,380 people participated in the campaign. Previously, the studio had received about €1.47 million in funding from the Federal Ministry of Economics in 2023 for the development (via Gameswirtschaft).
As of now, the campaign stands at around €132,000 (as of March 8, 2025), which is more than double the planned funding goal. This means that the first milestones have also been reached, with which the developers want to bring a larger game world and additional game content.
The campaign will run for another 27 days. Therefore, it is expected that the funding will continue to rise and the game will be filled with even more content. The release is planned for March 2026 for Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. An early access version is expected to start on Steam and Epic Games in the summer of 2025.
There are few games that focus so strongly on hooved animals and the happiness of the earth and promise so much content as Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori does. Many players therefore fall back on games like Red Dead Redemption 1 + 2, as these games manage to portray horses particularly realistically: In Red Dead Redemption 2, there are horse testicles and they shrink

The Pokémon anime and the video games are even suitable for children. However, when one takes a closer look at some Pokédex entries, one realizes that many of these colorful pocket monsters have a not-so-child-friendly background.
What was this list based on? MeinMMO has sifted through all Pokédex entries from all editions and made some disturbing discoveries. We included the Pokémon in this list that made our jaws drop the most.
Many of the entries disturbed us so much that we get creeped out by the respective Pokémon – even though some are not ghost-type Pokémon at all! However, there are also entries that disturbed us in other ways. Be it because the Pokémon risk their lives or even eat others.
The Pokémon games will soon be expanded with a new installment:

Jigglypuff
Jigglypuff loves to sing for its life.
The cuddly Pokémon is known for being able to put opponents to sleep when it sings. But there is a problem when the opponent remains stubborn and refuses to sleep. The Pokédex entry from Pokémon Alpha Sapphire reveals that even Jigglypuff’s life is in danger:
While this Pokémon sings, it never breathes. In battle against an opponent who is not easily put to sleep, Jigglypuff cannot breathe. Unfortunately, this endangers itself.
This means Jigglypuff simply suffocates if someone does not fall asleep. So if you have earplugs in or are simply deaf, you could have a Jigglypuff on your conscience if it desperately wants to put you to sleep.

Some players in Baldur’s Gate 3 have strange hobbies. Turning everything into gold is one of them – but it looks really cool!
How to deal with the most pressing issues of the Sword Coast in Baldur’s Gate 3 is left up to each player. Some talk their way to victory, resort to brute force, and use other creative solutions. But some also do it like the legendary King Midas and simply turn everything in their path into gold. One player did this by turning all the bosses in Act 3 into gold.

What did the player do? The player NnmnsP claims to have spent over 2,500 hours in Baldur’s Gate 3 – almost 5 hours every day since release. That he is not yet bored shows in the different things he aims for in the game. His latest stunt: turning all possible bosses into gold and seeing if that is even possible. He proudly presents the results of this action with a lot of pictures:

How can you turn bosses into gold? The only way to turn characters in the game into gold is through the “Flesh to Gold” scroll, which you can obtain in the second act of the game. However, the spell can only be used once, so NnmnsP took a screenshot after turning each boss to gold and then loaded the last save state.
Turning bosses into gold essentially amounts to petrification.
Which bosses were immune? In total, NnmnsP was only able to find two bosses in Act 3 that were partially immune to the transformation into gold: Ansur and Raphael. Ansur only reaches the third of four phases of transformation and Raphael only the second – due to his passive ability to regenerate a status at the end of each round when incapacitated.
Does it do anything? No, there is no real benefit to turning all bosses into gold. While the enemies are defenseless and the individual fights become easier, apart from that, there is no advantage. In most cases, you still have to kill the boss to progress in the story – because a gold-turned boss still counts as “alive” and therefore not defeated.
But that is also part of what makes Baldur’s Gate 3 special. Everyone can set their own goals in the game, no matter how absurd they may be. The possibilities are virtually endless, and if someone wants to turn the whole world into gold, that is not crazier than using a corpse as a super weapon.

Film and series productions do not always go as planned, and many problems must then be solved with improvised solutions. In the iconic series Breaking Bad, there was also such an incident, but this created a well-known character that is now indispensable.
SPOILER WARNING: If you haven’t seen the series Breaking Bad yet, you should probably not continue reading. The article contains some spoilers about future events of the series.
Which role is meant? Jonathan Banks, also known in Breaking Bad as “Mike Ehrmantraut”, plays the problem solver, hitman, or ruthless investigator in the series, but he actually wasn’t supposed to appear at all.
The reason for his appearance was a sudden incident that prevented another actor from appearing. For this reason, the writers of Breaking Bad were forced to create a workaround, and thus Mike Ehrmantraut was born.

Better Call Saul – Trailer for the spin-off of Breaking Bad
Tight-lipped, cold-blooded, and perfectly made for the role
What kind of incident was that? Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul) participated in an interview on “The Rich Eisen Show” and revealed details about the production of Breaking Bad (via YouTube). According to Rhea, Mike wouldn’t have existed in the series at all. In season 2, Jesse Pinkman’s girlfriend actually chokes on her vomit.
However, in order to dispose of her body, Saul Goodman should have actually been called, but that couldn’t happen because the actor playing Saul was not available at that time. A solution had to be found, and that’s why the writers decided to create Mike Ehrmantraut – the problem solver of Breaking Bad.
This small change had a big effect on the series of Breaking Bad as well as Better Call Saul, as Rhea continues. Saul would have had to “dispose” of Jesse’s girlfriend’s body in a cold act, like Mike did in the episode. This would have completely changed Saul’s character in the future.
A new coop game on Steam sends you on a treasure hunt in a cursed jungle. On your journey, the creatures of the terrible Cthulhu and your own mind stand in your way.
Which game is being referred to? The game in question is The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. The coop adventure is being developed by ACE Team, and Nacon is handling the publishing. There is no clear release date yet, but the coop game is set to be released in 2025 on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
You can watch the first trailer for the game here:

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu – Trailer for the new co-op game on Steam and PS5
Treasure hunt in the jungle cursed by Cthulhu
What kind of game is this? The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a coop horror game where you embark on a treasure hunt as a group of up to 4 players. Your search leads you deeper into a cursed jungle teeming with terrifying creatures.
The weapons and clothing of the characters are strongly reminiscent of the 15th century. So you will fight your way through the jungle with a musket and crossbow, axe and machete. The inspiration of the developers is evident in the name – H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos.
The jungle is not just an ordinary forest, but a dark, oppressive place that distorts your perception of reality. What appears to be a monster at first glance might turn out to be one of your unfortunate companions that you just shot with a musket.
Players celebrate the idea, but there are issues with the presentation
What are the initial reactions? Under the trailer, which was uploaded on the YouTube channel of the developers, the anticipation for the new game from ACE Team is already high.
xmrmeow writes: “Whoa, a coop Lovecraft shooter? And it’s coming this year? And ACE Team, the pros for crazy alien creatures and worlds, are making it? This is gonna be so damn cool, I know it!”
jhoneh9691 shares their excitement for the fresh setting: “Cthulhu games have mainly taken place during the Prohibition era. This change is really welcome – I’m hyped!”
There is also criticism, mainly regarding the presentation in the trailer. It has been said that the artificial-sounding conversations in the gameplay segment were unnecessary. The psychological horror aspect from the cinematic does not really come through in the shown gameplay either.
However, the developers have already responded to concerns that the final game may offer too little horror and too much action. The gameplay snippets suggested that the game is more action-packed than it actually is. In the future, they plan to prepare more material that better showcases the gameplay and its unique features.
Infinity Nikki is actually known for its fair prices, which it charges in the form of real money for some outfits. However, at launch, there was a dress that wasn’t even represented properly – and now it might be making a comeback.
What dress is it about? In Infinity Nikki’s in-game shop, there is the option to exchange dresses for Stellarit. Stellarit can be purchased with real money. For 2,980 Stellarit, players could secure the “Moonlight Oath” outfit at the launch of the game. This is the highest price charged for an outfit.
It is a particularly opulent dress with a veil that reaches down to the ground. With this outfit, Nikki’s face remains free of the veil.
Since the selection of dresses in the in-game shop rotates regularly, the outfit is no longer available. However, there is now a hint that the dress could return – and this is despite the fact that it is not even properly represented.
Some of the outfits can be seen in the following trailer:

Most Expensive Dress in Infinity Nikki Has the Biggest Bug
What bothers users about the dress? As shown by a player on Reddit, the outfit is not compatible with all hairstyles. Normally, the hairstyle adjusts to the outfit when fabric is in the way. This is not the case with the “Moonlight Oath” outfit.
For user heatherpattern, two braids stick out and penetrate through the veil. As the player reveals, the veil also has issues with other things:
On the bike, the veil would also clip through the vehicle
During cutscenes, it is said to rotate wildly
At such a price, this is inexcusable. One user thanks for the warning because he was considering purchasing the outfit. To obtain both versions of the outfit, one must buy the outfit twice. That is 5,960 Stellarit, which can only be obtained with real money.
Why could it come back now? In the Reddit forum, a makeup set has appeared that matches the outfit. The set was available during the beta period but was missing at the final launch. This has led many users to speculate that the dress could now return with the makeup set.
However, players would then have to pay the higher price. If the dress reappears in the shop selection, there will no longer be the double Stellarit bonus. You can currently see this in the PS5 shop.
Accordingly, you would now have to spend €99.99 to buy the package with 6,480 Stellarit. Even a combination of several packages that cost around €95 is not sufficient. One can only hope that the development team will change something about the price – or offer the double bonus again.
Blizzard brings out the nerf hammer in World of Warcraft. All dungeons are massively weakened, making it easier to achieve success.
The first season of World of Warcraft: The War Within was considered the toughest “Mythic+” season ever. With the second season, everything was supposed to be a bit easier. With this expectation, many groups dove into the dungeons since Wednesday – only to find themselves sweating even on low Keystone levels.
Blizzard responded quickly and massively nerfed many dungeons. In addition to a general weakening of all dungeons, there are also many individual adjustments to specific creatures.

Groups that have failed in these dungeons over the past days should now dare to try again – success will be significantly easier to achieve. Especially the reduction of health points for all enemies ensures that players now have much more time when completing the dungeon.
