With the release of GTA 6 on the horizon, there's no doubt that Rockstar's upcoming title will once again shatter numerous sales records , securing its place as one of the best-selling titles of the decade. Until then, though, we have already seen several heavy-hitters during the 2020s that have reached millions of lifetime sales mere months after launch. Notably, a number of the best-selling games of this decade are new IPs rather than sequels to established games — even if some are based on existing entertainment franchi

It seems like the breadth of independent development power in the industry right now is more impressive than it's ever been, with a plethora of studios plugging away at sequels to successful games or set to release exciting new titles. It could be said that this is the pinnacle of an indie game boom, with smaller teams able to more than pull their weight against larger behemoth studios with millions of dollars in backing. Developers like WayForward, Drinkbox Studios, and The Fullbright Company have firmly established themselves as names to know when it comes to indie games, but there is plenty of new talent on the rise as w


The indie games market has flourished in recent years as many gamers look beyond the standard AAA offerings. Typically the more under-reported and under-represented aspect of the industry compared to the larger and flashier triple-A titles, indie games have really come to the fore in the last few years. From dominating platforms like Steam and establishing their very own dedicated showcases to going head to head with bigger budget titles in award shows, indie games are experiencing a bit of a renaissance at the mom

The latter will probably have an especially huge impact on the game's lifetime sales, as many Elden Ring owners may want to own their favorite game on the Switch 2 as w


However, this brings me onto to Black Myth: Wukong’s biggest problem - the level design. Instead of the branching corridors and winding shortcuts you usually associate with the genre, GameScience has opted for a more linear experience, broken up with large open areas that you can explore. Unfortunately, these are plagued with invisible walls and tricky terrain, making it difficult to gauge where you can and can’t go. In a genre that is typically associated with freedom of exploration and experimentation, it sucks to suddenly feel so isola


Elden Ring is a true phenomenon of its genre, opening the challenging world of the soulslike genre to millions of newcomers, and remaining immensely popular for years since its launch in 2022. Boosted by the massive Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, Elden Ring has already surpassed the 30 million sales mark , which makes it one of the best-selling video games of the decade and a colossal success for FromSoftware and Bandai Na


As opposed to other Chinese games, Genshin Impact needs no introduction, as it's one of the most critically acclaimed and popular titles of the last few years, and this is true both for the Asian and Western markets. Set in Teyvat and focusing on the story of an interstellar traveler who has just woken up 500 years after being separated from his twin sister, Genshin Impact will have players traverse the 7 nations in the area looking for answ

When struck and attacked by these enemies, a green mist will instantly surround your body. Furthermore, your HP will begin to decline at a fairly quick rate , as indicated by the small green icon below, which shows that you are in a Poisoned state. You will also see a separate bar aside from your HP pool, showcasing your Poison intake, which will increase as your health goes d


Over the past few years, it’s become clear that we don’t need to rely solely on FromSoftware for competent and entertaining soulslikes. Lies of P , Stellar Blade , Rise of the Ronin , and www.Blackmythwukongtalk.com Another Crab’s Treasure all launched in the past 12 months and managed to impress, but Black Myth: Wukong goes one step further. It’s the most polished, intricate, and entertaining soulslike I’ve ever played outside FromSoftware's masterpie
