Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred
13:39
Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred gets so many things right and one thing terribly wrong in the test
Genre: Action-RPG | developer: Blizzard | Release: 8. October (Steam)
In the big DLC Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred you explore the new area Nahantu, a dangerous jungle region full of ruins, dungeons and fortresses. The story focuses on Neyrelle, whose connection to Mephisto and Fate is continued after the main game.
An exciting new addition is the Spiritborn class, which fights with different spirit guardians, allowing for different play styles. You can also hire mercenaries to support you in battle and prove yourself in the new co-op endgame raid, the Dark Citadel.
Silent Hill 2 Remake

Silent Hill 2 is a great game, but just an okay remake
Genre: Survivalhorror | developer: Bloober Team | Release: 8. October (Steam)
The Silent Hill 2 remake brings back the horror classic and best part of the series with modern technology. You take on the role of James Sunderland, who travels to the nightmarish city of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his late wife.
Thanks to a new shoulder perspective and overhauled combat system, the gaming experience is more intense and oppressive than ever before. In addition, Unreal Engine 5 ensures realistic lighting and detailed environments, while 3D audio makes the horror experience even more immersive.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero – Announcement trailer for the new part of the Budokai Tenkaichi series
Genre: Fighting Game | developer: Spike Chunsoft | Release: 11. October (Steam)
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is the latest game in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, featuring intense 3D combat and a huge cast of characters. You can play as over 180 fighters from Dragon Ball Z, GT, Super and the films, each with unique abilities and transformations.
The combat system features iconic attacks such as the Kamehameha, Genkidama and Kiku Cannon, while the arenas react to your actions and continue to be destroyed throughout the battle.
The game offers both single-player and online multiplayer modes. You can also hold tournaments or create your own scenarios and share them with other players. New, alternative storylines in the single player also contain surprising twists that differ from the familiar storyline.
