As intersecting fans of Gundams, Gunpla (short for Gundam plastic model kits), and video games, we feared for the future of the Gundam Breaker series. However, when the series announced Gundam Breaker 4, hope flickered again. For example, the word “New” was conspicuously absent, and many noticed this simple change was a sign that the game was going back to the foundations laid by Gundam Breaker 3, a fan-favorite entry…

In today’s listicle, we will list some of the best Metroidvania games that have captivated players over the years and rank them…
Bandai Namco’s ambitious MMORPG Blue Protocol is shutting down permanently in January 2025, ending a promising venture into the anime-inspired online gaming scene. After nearly eight years of development and a short-lived run in Japan, the game will go offline, leaving fans unable to play or download it after the closure. This unexpected shutdown has dashed hopes for an international release, initially planned in collaboration with Amazon Games.

Foamstars, the vibrant 4v4 multiplayer shooter developed by Toylogic and published by Square Enix, is transitioning to a free-to-play model on October 4, 2024. Initially released in February, the game has struggled to gain traction despite Toylogic’s reputation for remastering Nier Replicant in 2021 and Square Enix’s well-established brand. For example, the pricing of Foamstars was the primary concern hindering its success as it found itself in a competitive market dominated by free-to-play titles like Apex Legends and Fortnite. Priced at $29.99 and requiring a PlayStation Plus membership, the cost barrier made it difficult for the game to attract a…
