Dragon's Dogma 2
After twelve years since Capcom's Dragon's Dogma graced the gaming landscape in 2012, its sequel Dragon's Dogma 2, has at long last launched on modern consoles.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action-RPG where you play as the Arisen, a mortal who has been cursed by the ancient Great Dragon and must now travel the land to destroy him before the fiend destroys the world. Along the way, you will meet up with Pawns who will aid you in battle, hunt gigantic beasts and monsters, and engage in political intrigue as you try to expose fraudulent Sovran who is pretending to be an Arisen.
Fans of the original Dragon's Dogma have waited over a decade for this game and thankfully, their faith has been rewarded in spades. This game is one of Capcom's finest titles featuring a breathtaking open-world filled with tons of secrets to discover, action-packed set pieces, and an in-depth and engaging combat system.
While its esoteric quest systems and subpar framerate performance on consoles are a bummer, they are by no means deal breakers if you have the patience to push through.

Palworld
Palworld is taking the videogame by storm, breaking over one million concurrent players and selling over one million copies just a few days after its release date on January 19, 2024. But what is this game that is blowing up all over the internet lately?
To put it simply – Palworld is an open-world adventure game that combines the elements of survival-crafting games like ARK: Survival Evolved with monster-catching games like Pokémon. You are trapped on a mysterious island, and your only means of survival is to craft weapons and tame wild creatures with magical powers called "Pals."
You can train Pals to fight enemies, build bases, and even gather resources to help you craft better equipment and facilities.
