Essays, Reviews, Previews, Opinions and Movies
Comprehensive materials about games, movies, hardware and beyond. We share opinions, review and explain. Gamepressure.com provides a range of reviews of the most important games, previews of upcoming titles, and insight into the history of the video game industry. In our editorials, we discuss various subjects, ranging from in-depth analyses of sandbox worlds, through scandals and controversies in the industry, to hardware guides. We also cover movies and TV series, and explore the fringe of video games and pop-culture.
If you're looking for reviews of games such as Where the Heart Leads or Sniper Elite VR, or new info and rumors about Battlefield 2042, you're in the right place.
We particularly recommend the piece Best Gacha Games 2021 - There's an Anime Girl Hiding in This Loot Box!, which has been especially popular with our users.
This could have been a great game and a milestone for VR technology. It came out ok at best, and that's definitely not enough. Read our Sniper Elite VR review.
Doing a lot of things right, Death’s Door features a beautiful world and level design that rivals that of any Zelda game you’ve played. Plus you get to play as a little crow that wields a sword. What’s not to love?
Sometimes you become such best friends with a monster that they go from your bestie to your monstie. And no, this isn’t Pokemon, but you will be hatching lots of eggs and battling alongside your favorite monsters. Read our review of Wings of Ruin.
I should be happy about Encased. Meanwhile, I'm unable to sit through more than a few dozen minutes of it, despite it being a great post-apocalyptic RPG. And this may be a symptom of a more serious problem of the genre.
Gacha is immensely popular in the East, but not so much in the West – for now. With its recent success, Genshin Impact blazes a trail for the genre. If you'd like to really get into it, you might want to browse this list of best gacha games.
The classic Battlefield installments finally return in a refreshed version! But not quite in the form we expected – the new Battlefield Portal service is as hopeful as it is risky.
The beta is about to begin, and the release is coming soon. Amazon, on the other hand, seems to have made a few wrong decisions late in the development.

So Does Battlefield 2042 Only Pretend It's Not About Climate Change?
Battlefield 2042 uses the climate catastrophe and the subsequent refugee crisis as the backdrop for its fictitious conflict – and yet tries to pretend it doesn't. For AAA games, weirdly understood notion of being apolitical has become sanctity.
