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 Mario Strikers: Battle League or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, or new info and rumors about , you're in the right place.
We particularly recommend the piece The Biggest Video Games Still Coming in 2022, which has been especially popular with our users.
The second, and usually the more exciting, half of the year is upon us, also when it comes to game releases. The third and fourth quarters of the year are a time when publishers fire their biggest guns. What hits are still coming in 2022?
Game developers are, of course, also humans. That's why strange statements and all sorts of slip-ups happen to them too. Especially when they feel defensive. We have aggregated a list of instances when they definitely said too much.
Call of Duty, Minecraft, or Red Dead Redemption 2? The most popular games in the world are much less obvious than it might seem to regular players.
There's plenty of good RPG releases every week. Unfortunately, many of them do not get the popularity they deserve. Today, we are looking into games that some fans of the genre might have missed, and definitely should play.
Featuring some familiar faces, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes blends two genres together to give you a game that is a blast to play. Read our review.
And so, dog days it is. But it doesn't mean no new games! To the contrary, there's no shortage of new productions, but you won't see any grand launches of long-awaited titles in July. Instead, we will have to settle for smaller offerings.
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.

Epic Games Store - Indie Games' Shelter or Slaughterhouse?
Epic Game Store launched in 2018 with the promise of a better environment for developers. After a few years of its existence, however, it's still hard to make a clear case that it's more sensible for independent creators than Steam.

It's Great Max Payne is Coming Back. We've Missed These Games!
The announcement of remakes of the first two parts of Max Payne is as unexpected a news as it is great. Especially today, when action-packed productions have become sort of a thing of the past. Perhaps new versions of classics will be a harbinger.

Elex 2 Wants to be Mass Effect, but It's Not Working Out
I enjoyed Elex 2 on its own terms, and it is evocative of various games. There's a bit of Fallout: New Vegas, a bit of Gothic, and a bit of The Witcher 3, but there's a whole lot of Mass Effect, too – and not in a good way.

Siofra River, Or How Elden Ring Creates Rare, Genuine Sense of Adventure
Elden Ring discards the beaten path of triple-A games and invites the player to do the same thing inside their game. This makes the adventure feel genuine and organic – for it is about secrets, risks and ostensible alienation.

The Classic Movies That Inspired Stranger Things
The Duffer brothers' Stranger Things has stolen the hearts of adventure horror fans, richly drawing on both 80s style and more contemporary teen dramas. The success of the Netflix series, however, would not have been possible without inspiration.
