About My Reincarnation as the Main Character of Resident Evil - A Review of Zach Cregger's "Resident Evil"
Zach Cregger's new "Resident Evil" operates on the principle of a slippery slide: the director gives the viewer exactly six minutes to get comfortable in their seat, and then sends them on a frantic descent through Raccoon City's most disgusting corners. The program includes repulsive mutants, a constant shortage of ammunition, choice profanity, and the protagonist's desperate attempts not to die on the job. For double pay, by the way.

Stop stealing games from yourself! How the desire to play "correctly" turns leisure into work
Have games stopped bringing the same pleasure? There can be many reasons for "gaming impotence," but usually this phenomenon is explained by age, oversaturation, and the idea that "games are not what they used to be."

Fatekeeper Review: The "Eurojank" That Could Be the Next Dark Messiah
The new action RPG from German studio Paraglacial looks like a living Unreal Engine 5 advertisement. Just thirteen people managed to create a thoroughbred "next-gen" game with visuals "worth hundreds of millions of dollars" and physics in the spirit of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. But behind the luxurious facade hides good old "Eurojank," held together by crutches and duct tape.

In 2026, Capcom is hitting all the right notes. After a powerful hat-trick at the start of the year, the publisher appeared at State of Play and rolled out a demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword - a full reboot of the dark samurai action series, which hasn't seen new installments in twenty years.

They confused DMC with MTV - and we loved it. Review of the second season of "Devil May Cry" from Netflix
The second season of Devil May Cry has more of everything: game lore, familiar names, brutal carnage, family drama, loud music, and controversial authorial decisions. From this emerges either a loose remake of Devil May Cry 2, or a collection of clips from the "Big Rock" block on MTV - it's easy to criticize, but it evokes too many emotions to tear yourself away from it.
Diablo IV is dangerous for your personal life. Lord of Hatred expansion review
Over three years, Diablo IV has accumulated a significant debt to players, and Lord of Hatred looks like an attempt to pay it off - with interest. Blizzard seems to have finally remembered that a $40 expansion needs to be delivered like a grown-up: with an epic story, new classes, fulfilled promises, and systems that interlock all content into a dense dopamine flow.
