⚠️ Phantom Blade Zero is still one of the year's most hyped titles, but the team rejected visual AI tools that might have sped up asset creation and visual polish.

Players feared the project's huge ambition would cause an inevitable slip, 2026 is the target, yet not guaranteed; the devs chose the harder, cleaner route and said NO. Fingers crossed, we're tense 👀

🚀 Road to Vostok recouped a "multi‑year" production budget within 24 hours of its early access launch on 7 April 2026, shooting straight up the Steam charts.

Solo dev Antti Leinonen, an ex‑Finnish officer, called the launch "absolute madness". The game earned Very Positive reviews; after switching from Unity to Godot in 2023 it still found its crowd. Players are exploring Zone 05 on the Finland, Russia border, fighting bandits an...

😬 The early‑April update, freer spaceflight plus the Terran Armada expansion, failed to revive interest in Starfield.

Positive reviews ticked up right after the patch, but the Steam score slid from ~75% at launch to 73% post‑update and now sits at 67%. Players keep criticising pacing, technical issues and an overall unpolished feel, many say it still doesn't live up to expectations for a major Bethesda release. NOPE.

🏆 Crimson Desert, PlayStation's Game of the Month after the March "Player's Choice" vote.

The Pearl Abyss RPG edged out Marathon and MLB The Show 26, with players praising the title's sheer scale and meticulous world-building. The monthly poll is limited to new releases and full remakes; February's winner was Resident Evil: Requiem, but in March the crown went to them, the clear FAVORITE.

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 is making noise, not for the game, but for the price and the odd "physical" format. Players are honestly like WTF 😬

Retail listings already up: Amazon US shows $79.99, EU about €69.99. Worse, the boxed edition reportedly contains no cartridge, only a code card to download the game. On Nintendo hardware that feels pricier than expected and comes off as a cheap cash‑grab.

TRASH THE CUBE, SAVE US, XLGAMES announced the shutdown: servers and the official Discord will go offline on 8 May 2026 🤦

The free action launched on 18 March and opened with only 19% positive reviews. Players complained about bugs, terrible optimization and clunky controls. Devs say they'll issue automatic Steam refunds for all purchases, no claims required.

✊ Fans of Star Wars Outlaws are NOT GIVING UP, despite cancellation whispers a chunk of the community kicked off a debate on Reddit and is pushing a petition to nudge the publisher. They know petitions rarely flip decisions, but the noise proves the game left a mark.

Players praise the criminal-galaxy vibe, detailed locations, speeder rides, the reputation system and the Sabacc card minigame. Reasons for weak sales go beyond bug...
