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 Senua's Saga: Hellblade II or Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, or new info and rumors about , you're in the right place.
We particularly recommend the piece The Sims 4: Best Mods to Download in 2024, which has been especially popular with our users.
Proven, safe, and community-appreciated mods are capable of completely transforming The Sims 4 - and we don't have to spend money on them. Here's the brand new list of the best mods to have in 2024.
Supergiant Games may have little experience developing sequels, but it knows how to make interesting and good games. Although Hades 2 is in Early Access, it already provides many hours of great fun.
Voices in the head can still be heard in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. The sequel offers a highly cinematic experience with stunning, photorealistic graphics, where even the combat serves the storytelling.
Some people are much more than great devs. They are a joy to talk to. This is the case with Swen Vincke and Adam Smith - people from Larian, responsible for Baldur’s Gate 3. We spoke about BG3 itself, RPG, industry, and the tough past. To say the least.
Frostpunk 2 is as lethal of a game as the original, but it accomplishes its objectives through different means. We will face not the frost, but politics, and the scale of construction exceeds the small town centered around the reactor.
Sony has a good run - the hits from PlayStation consoles ported to PC are very high-quality and offer stable gameplay. Ghost of Tsushima is no different.
20 years after its debut, one Paper Mario game still stands strong as the absolute best in the series. Can a Switch remake make it even better? See what we think in our review.

Indika Review: More State of Mind Than a Game, Just Like Russia It Depicts
