Though it's not in the usual Bandai Namco forte, Little Nightmares has proven to be a massive hit for the publisher regardless. This remarkable franchise set out to do something genuinely challenging — create a terrifying sidescroller — and delivered one smash-hit after another. That's no mean feat, it goes without saying, and it's the reason why fans have been so excited for a new title. A new title that has now, at last, been announced: Little Nightmares 3.
Taking place in a variety of nightmarish, dream-logic realms such as the first game's Maw, the sequel's Pale City, and the third game's Nowhere, Little Nightmares games are deeply interconnected 2.5D sidescrollers that are every bit as thrilling as they are terrifying. Broadly in the vein of the legendary Limbo and Inside, Little Nightmares games are functionally story-driven puzzle-platformers. Aside from their physics-driven gameplay loop, though, all Little Nightmares titles are also extremely heavy on the story, and that's not about to change.
What's new in Little Nightmares 3, then, and how might the game continue the story of Six, and perhaps even Mono? Let's see what we know so far.

Little Nightmares 3 is, at face value, a plain continuation of the story and premise set up in the prior LN titles: a child or two gets trapped in a nightmarish world beyond that of our own, and they need to navigate it and survive the horrors that hunt for them. The trick, though, is that this is going to be the first Little Nightmares game not produced by the original developer, Tarsier Studios.
Tarsier Studios is now working on the horrific, but awesome-looking Reanimal under THQ Nordic's umbrella, while the Little Nightmares license was left under Bandai Namco. Crucially, the publisher has signed up none other than Supermassive Games to develop Little Nightmares 3, and this is basically the dream come true.
Supermassive Games is renowned for its work in the horror game genre, and since Little Nightmares 3 is a follow-up to a very established formula, the crux of the game is bound to stay as it ever was. A new story, and a new take on its horrific world are more than welcome though, and that's what makes this game such an important release.

While both of the prior Little Nightmares games had a co-op component to them, neither supported actual full-featured online multiplayer. At best, you could rely onto Steam Remote Play Together if you were on PC, with hotseat being the only option otherwise. No more, however! Little Nightmares 3 will support full and proper online co-op multiplayer on top of the usual hotseat and single-player options, which is a huge deal in its own right.
Other than a fancy new backend tech stack, there's the matter of game content as well. The two new protagonists, Low and Alone, each have a new set of abilities such as their respective bow and wrench items/weapons. They will be sorely needed, too, because LN3's Residents are the most horrific bunch we've seen yet. Curiously, the Nowhere itself appears more varied than these games have previously been. Sandy deserts, downtrodden factories, and gloomy cityscapes are just some of the environs we've seen so far. Lots more to come, for sure!
In a broader sense, Supermassive games isn't changing what works. The base concept of the game appears to be staying the same, and even its post-launch support won't change much, if at all. For example, we already know that Little Nightmares 3's going to get a big Secrets of the Spiral set of expansions with at least two more chapters available post-launch. Don't mess with what works, we reckon!

Little Nightmares 3 is set and primed to release on PC on October 10, 2025, and the curious bit is that it doesn't appear to follow neither Six nor Mono from the prior titles. As Little Nightmares has always put heavy emphasis on narrative twists and turns, we wouldn't put it past Supermassive Games that the old protagonists might yet return, but we'll see.
Heck, remember that Supermassive Games is specifically known for its story-heavy Dark Pictures Anthology horror games. This tells us basically all we need to know about how spooky, scary, twisty, and turny Little Nightmares 3 might end up being. Yet, for the time being, we just don't know much about what the game's story will be about.
Crucially, Little Nightmares 3 takes place in an entirely new realm, the Nowhere, which appears to be even more dangerous than the Maw or the Pale City. The what, why, and how of it all will remain a secret, of course, but we'd be shocked if the story of Low and Alone didn't somehow tie into the prior games' narratives in the end. Stay tuned!

Massive deals on hidden gems!
Strategy games, stealth games, puzzle games, adventure games... it's all well and good, but shooters are the bread and butter for many a gamer for good reason. Except, it's not like you need an introduction to most genuinely good shooters nowadays. Their popularity speaks for itself, after all, so why the heck would we be trying to push them even more so than usual, discounts be darned?
Well, we're here today to do something a tad different: tell you about steep, steep discounts on shooters that you may well have heard about, but will have probably fallen off your radar for this reason or the other. They're all good games. Great, even! Except they either fell off the hype train, or are rather old and overlooked nowadays.
Two things we can vouch for, though: all shooters found in this featurette are excellent games in their own right, and they can all be yours at extremely low prices. Why not give 'em a shot, then?

Once at the forefront of strange, cutting-edge shooters, Platinum Games' Vanquish has been all but forgotten about in the recent years. Not by us, though! Get it at 70% off and see just how ridiculously fast and agile you could be in a "cover shooter," if you really wanted.

There's no shortage of first-person Roguelite shooters, but RoboQuest remains a favorite for very good reason: it's better than nigh-all of them! Fast, chunky, and with oodles upon oodles of content to parse through, this is the game to play if you're avoiding Sulfur until it comes out of Early Access!

No, Back 4 Blood isn't better than Left 4 Dead, but you shouldn't care anyway because it's great in its own right. A full-featured mission-based co-op FPS, B4B stands tall following years' worth of updates and DLC, and all of it can be yours at 90% off via the Ultimate Edition of the game. Come on now, shoot some Zeds.

They don't make 'em like they used to! Sometimes, that's for the better, and there's no denying that Serious Sam 4 has failed to go with the times when all is said and done. At the same time, this insistence on retro gaming tropes adds to SS4's flavor, and you just don't have anything else like it on the market. We had fun with it, that's for sure!

Anger Foot is like a hyper-aggressive Tarantino-esque FPS take on Hotline Miami. It's fast, brutal, weird, and just a joy to play across the board. At 40% off, it's also an absolute steal, so don't dawdle on this one!

Following the somewhat questionable Shadow Warrior 2, the third title in the iconic retro FPS franchise decided to reel things back and away from open-world looter-shooter gameplay trappings. Instead, what you get here is a DOOM-style mission-based experience at half-off, which makes it a steal and a must-have as soon as you've got the time to play.

A live-service title past its prime, Capcom's Exoprimal got rave reviews early on but fell out of favor and the limelight as time went on. The fact is that there's a unique and exciting game present here regardless, and Capcom's track record means it's not going anywhere anytime soon. With the price we have on it, now's the time to see how it plays!

We absolutely get why someone might wish to avoid Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in its entirety, but frankly, at 90% off? You ought to give it a shot! It's got full-featured single-player options for those that aren't in the mood for multiplayer, and there's a genuinely compelling gameplay loop underneath the live-service crud. Crud that is all but entirely done away with by now. It's Rocksteady, after all!
Guns ahoy!
Late last week, we highlighted a whole bevy of low-spec PC games that are a part of 2Game's massive 2025 Summer Sale. Whether you play on the Steam Deck or on an honest-to-goodness low-end desktop PC/laptop, these were all excellent fits for virtually every profile. What if hardware wasn't a concern, though? That's what we're here to discuss today!
If sweating and heat output is of no import, even when it's 35-40C outside, then you're going to have a grand old time with this shortlist. The 2Game Summer Sale of 2025 features a frankly ridiculous number of top-notch AAAs both new and old, often with historical low prices in place to spice things up!
The games featured below are, effectively, some of the prettiest titles you could be playing in 2025. The curious bit is that not all of them are all that new, however! Fact of the matter is that titles such as Arkham Knight and Red Dead Redemption 2 stand tall years and years after their release, easily going toe-to-toe with some of the most graphically impressive contemporary releases.
Whatever the case may be, below you'll discover an assortment of drop-down-gorgeous PC games at steep, steep discounts. Will they make your PC work for it at maximum settings? Oh, absolutely! But we already established this won't be a bug-bear for you, will it now?

One of the best recent first-person AAA horror games, Still Wakes the Deep is a graphics powerhouse with a striking design language and a series of truly otherworldly situations in the later stages of the campaign. Freaky stuff all around, but gosh doesn't it look phenomenal.

A true modern classic, there's precious little that needs to be said about Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2025. Arguably Rockstar's crowning jewel in every possible way, it's also an astonishingly good-looking game. We do recommend running it supersampled, though, just to avoid the crappy default temporal anti-aliasing solution.

Would you believe us if we told you that Batman: Arkham Knight runs on Unreal Engine 3? Not even 4, at that! Regardless, Arkham Knight is a stellar visual performer with oodles of physics-enabled objects flying left and right. If you haven't yet played it, now's the time to do so.

Hogwarts Legacy looks like a million bucks, and the fact that it's a genuinely fun and engaging action game is just a cherry on top of this delightful graphical pie. At 75% off, if you're not already playing it, what the heck are you doing?

Capcom's RE Engine is a proper powerhouse, and nowhere is it more impressive than it is in flagship Resident Evil games. For our first-person choice, we're going with RE: Village...

And for our third-person choice, it's got to be the awesome Resident Evil 4 Remake, which is an absolute steal at 40% off. Don't dawdle, folks!

There's a real dearth of small-scale CQB tactical shooters on the market right now, with the more popular niche being the likes of Gray Zone Warfare and Tarkov's wide-open-worlds. Ready or Not does away with that, and it's the SWAT follow-up you ought to play. Looks great!

One of our favorite recent third-person shooters is absolutely Space Marine 2, which is particularly notable because it's not running on Unreal of any flavor. Instead, it's Saber Interactive's in-house engine first premiered with WWZ. At 35%, it's a steal, and it looks absolutely delightful in (graphic, violent) motion.

The latest and more-or-less greatest Mortal Kombat game yet just so happens to look awesome! And oh hey, we're practically giving it away at 67% off. Beat people up with their own dismembered body parts today!

An unlikely entry on this list, perhaps, but The Plucky Spire is an absolute work of art for every single rendered frame. Whether in two or three dimensions, the game is going to impress through-and-through, and we cannot recommend it enough at 25% off.
Oh wow, that’s hot.
In case you missed the memo, 2Game's biggest-ever Summer Sale is now live, and that means we've got hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of discounts going strong over the next couple of weeks. Not the time to dawdle, we don't think! Yet, there's a crucial issue here: depending on where you live, summer might not be a great time to game on your main PC! What if you have a handy little HTPC in your living room, though? Or a PC gaming handheld such as the Steam Deck? Well, then you're at just the right place.
As huge proponents of low-end gaming machines, the team here at 2Game is eager to celebrate the old and the low-spec titles wherever and whenever possible. Of course we'd use the 2025 Summer Sale to do the same, right? Down below, we've assembled a downright massive list of must-play indie and low-spec games that will run perfectly on just about every flavor of low-end PC. Let's jump straight in!

Believe it or not, the once gargantuan Shadow of War is now exceedingly low-spec-friendly! Of course, it's still a ridiculously massive game in its own right, it's just that it plays nice with modern low-end machines such as the Steam Deck!

One of our favorite recent action-puzzlers, Kaamos takes all the best bits of your average connect-three kind of game and combines them with a striking OLED-friendly aesthetic that's an absolute joy in motion.

For fans of HOMM and the likes, Symphony of War is easily the best modern game on the market. Looks great, runs great, and comes loaded with loads and loads of content by default. It's great!

For those in need of a sweet, cozy, and casual ARPG adventure, Cat Quest 3 is the jig. While some might argue whether it's the best of the Cat Quest titles, there's no denying the fact that it's a joy to play and watch.

One of the best martial arts games of all time, SIFU stands out no matter whether it's enjoyed on a low-spec handheld or a full-blooded gaming rig. At 60% off, we can only tell you it's a must-have.

A niche Metroidvania, Ultros is a phenomenal graphics powerhouse like you'll find nowhere else. Its trippy narrative is perfectly in-line with how wild the game looks, and it's an astonishing experience on the Steam Deck OLED in particular.

For those that appreciate a more horrifying, brutal angle, CARRION is the Metroidvania to choose. Take control over an expy of The Thing and proliferate in the worst ways imaginable. Their flesh is yours, remember!

Our go-to game for rapid-fire minutes' long playing sessions, Downwell is downright irreplaceable. Can be yours for under a Euro, too, and it pays for itself in mere seconds, believe you us!

Easily the wildest and weirdest (ha!) Immersive Sim we've ever seen, Weird West is an incredibly deep and engaging game penned by the legendary Raphaël Colantonio of Dishonored fame. Don't sleep on it!

One of those legendary franchises that refuses to die no matter what, the two remastered Soul Reaver games of the Legacy of Kain need to be seen to be believed. Even though they've been visually uplifted, note, they still run great on the whole gamut of modern gaming machines!

Pachinko! But without having to waste your money away amidst rude, sweaty humanfolk trying to do the same. Ballionaire is one of the greatest examples of how to pull this gameplay loop off right, and it looks excellent on virtually any handheld.

Naturally, we needed a Pokemon-alike on this list, and what better option is there than Cassette Beasts? With genuinely compelling characters, an innovative creature combat loop, and a fair few surprises along the way, now's the time to play it if you haven't yet. At 50% off, at that!

A delightful survival/mining title, Dome Keeper has several disparate gameplay loops all working together in unison. Best of all, it both looks and runs incredibly well on virtually any hardware loadout, so it's a great fit at 55% off!

There's no game out there quite like NORCO. As a strange conspiracy unravels in the midst of South Louisiana, so too does the protagonist's very sanity. What to make of it all, though? See for yourself!
And there you have it, these are our off-beat must-have summer-time low-spec (gah) deals for 2025! Some of these you must've seen coming from a mile away, while others we hope might've surprised you. One thing we can vouch for, for sure, is that any and all of these games will work phenomenally well across the full range of modern PCs, and a bevy of old, legacy machines to boot. Steam Deck is obviously the baseline we've chosen for reasons that are self-explanatory, but it's become a fairly low-spec piece of hardware by now, that's for sure.
Whatever the case may be, we hope we've helped you nail down your next game. The team has had ample experience with all the featured titles, so we know for a fact that they're all great games that won't leave you disappointed. Now go find the shadiest, coldest part of your house, set up a gaming rig of any kind, and get gaming. Don't forget to stay tuned to 2Game, either, because more featured deals are coming in very, very soon!
Take your Summer Deals on the go with you!
Break out the baggy jeans and crank up the punk rock - Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 drops into the halfpipe on July 11, 2025, and it feels less like a remake and more like a resurrection.
If you grew up smashing combos in Suburbia, chasing SKATE letters, and face-planting while trying to master manuels, you already know what this means. If you're new to the scene, you're about to find out!
After the wildly successful THPS 1 + 2 remake, Activision is doubling down on this one. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 isn't just a paint job; it's a full send into everything that made the early 2000s skate scene iconic, bizarre, and addictively replayable.
And yes, Jack Black is back as Officer Dick. Plus he’s voicing Constable Richard, Officer Dick’s very British (and very ridiculous) counterpart. What else did you expect?

All the old maps, all the right moves, plus a few new tricks - Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is what a remake should be. It's faithful, fast, and just a little unhinged.
But what exactly should you expect? Firstly, you’re getting the full lineup of maps from THPS 3 and THPS 4, rebuilt in sharp 4K. We're talking maps like Suburbia, Airport, and College that evoke that muscle memory sweet spot. Then there are new parks, like Waterpark, that blend in so naturally they feel like they’ve always been part of the series.
The Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes have also been expanded to allow you to build your own challenges and share them online. And the controls? If you played THPS 1 + 2, you know what to expect: buttery smooth arcade physics that make a nosegrind into revert, into manual, feel like magic.

It wouldn’t be Tony Hawk without a bit of absurdity, and Activision’s clearly up for the laughs. Jack Black is back as Officer Dick, the infamous secret skater who’s equal parts mall cop and menace. But this time, he’s also voicing someone new: Constable Richard, Officer Dick’s equally ridiculous, stiff-lipped British counterpart, complete with a moustache and a chip on his shoulder.
Both characters are voiced by Jack Black, who clearly had a blast switching between unhinged American cop and mockney enforcer.
Expect goofy animations, bizarre backstories, and peak THPS humor. Because, clearly, a skate game in 2025 needs two versions of Jack Black in full cop cosplay!

There’s a weird kind of purity in THPS’s two-minute run structure. No open-world fluff, no cutscene bloat—just you, your board, and the clock. The two-minute countdown design is back in the 3 + 4 Remake, and it still works like a charm.
Yes, the original THPS 4 toyed with a more open-ended progression system, but this remake strips it back to the series' arcade roots. Gameplay is short, punchy, and full of risk-reward decisions. Do you go for that one last combo or hit pause and try again? The tension is as glorious as ever.

There are two kinds of people: those who hear “Superman” by Goldfinger and are instantly transported back to the THPS warehouse, and those new to the franchise. Music is the soul of this series, and Activision respects that.
Early impressions of the soundtrack say it's stacked with punk, hip-hop, and enough stylish curveballs to make you want to hit your local skate park—even if you’ve never stepped on a board in your life!

If you can’t wait to start wrecking your virtual shins, pre-ordering gets you immediate access to the Foundry Demo—a warm-up run before the full thing drops.
You’ll also unlock the Wireframe Tony Shader, which makes your skater look like they escaped from an old school dev kit. In the best possible way!
And if you really want to flex, pre-purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition to unlock a whole lot more:
Why just ollie when you can ollie in full demon armor?

Remakes can be tricky. Lean too hard on memory, and you get something that feels hollow. Over-modernize it, and you lose the soul. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 walks the line to perfection. It’s built for people who grew up with these games, and it’s smart enough to let new players in without dumbing things down.
The physics are tight. The music bangs. The weird humor is alive and well. And most importantly, the gameplay feels right. In fact, it feels really, really good.
In a world of complexity, THPS 3 + 4 reminds you that to be happy, sometimes all you need is a board, a timer, a good soundtrack, and a concrete bowl to throw yourself into. And that's what you get!
Nails it
Ah, summer — the season of sunburns, hay fever, and sudden torrential downpours. Whether you're dodging monsoons in the Southern Hemisphere or melting into your gaming chair up north, one thing stays consistent across the globe: the 2Game Summer Sale is live — and it’s dropping some of the best PC game deals of the year, including first-ever discounts and historic low prices!
From tactical showdowns to fantasy epics and touchline dramas, here are four unmissable Summer Sale deals to brighten your rainy (or roasting) days:

Capcom’s open-world fantasy epic returns with even more chaos, freedom, and gloriously unpredictable encounters.
Just be warned — Dragon’s Dogma 2 throws you into a world that doesn’t care if you're ready, as you climb towering beasts mid-battle; get tackled off a cliff by an ogre; or wander into a cave that really should’ve stayed unexplored.
With dynamic combat, unpredictable AI pawns, and a sprawling world that begs to be broken, this is a game that rewards boldness and punishes complacency.
No quest markers. No hand-holding. Just danger, discovery, and dragons. And at this price? There's no soul-selling required.

Monster Hunter Wilds burst onto the scene in February with ambition to spare — vast, reactive biomes, apex predators that hunt with terrifying precision, and cinematic boss fights that push the series into new territory.
While PC players have flagged some ongoing performance issues, Capcom’s been steadily rolling out patches and free updates to tighten the experience. The result? A game that continues to evolve with each hunt.
With AI support hunters, dramatic weather systems, and monsters that truly feel alive, Wilds remains one of the boldest entries in the franchise to date — and it's now available at its lowest price ever!

Civilization VII launched earlier this year with bold ideas and a new direction. We're talking streamlined systems, age-based victories, and smarter AI that shake up the classic Civ formula.
It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, with UI quirks and pacing tweaks being early sticking points. But Firaxis has shown they're listening, providing steady updates that are already improving the overall flow and polish.
If you’ve been waiting for a modern Civ that respects your time while keeping that “just one more turn” pull, this is it. And the best bit? It's now on sale for the first time!

The last classic FM before the big engine overhaul, there’s never been a better time to appreciate just how good Football Manager 2024 is.
From scouting wonderkids in obscure leagues to masterminding a Champions League miracle on a shoestring budget, FM24 hits that sweet spot between depth, drama, and tactical freedom.
With smarter AI, reworked recruitment tools, and the slickest match engine to date, it's Football Manager at its purest, and at 75% off, it's the perfect end to an era!

Sunburnt? Rained in? Or just need an excuse to game all day? The 2Game Summer Sale has your back with limited-time PC gaming deals on some of this year's biggest hits.
From first-time discounts on Civ VII to lowest-ever prices on Monster Hunter Wilds, this is your best chance to score epic titles without scorching your wallet.
Whatever the weather, your next favourite game is just a few clicks away. Have fun!
Hot? Wet? It’s time to grab some epic PC deals!
RoboCop: Rogue City was one of the biggest surprises of 2023. A remarkable return to form for one of the most iconic action franchises of all time, this game showed just how much could be done with an objectively campy and often cheeky IP. Best of all, Rogue City was a masterful take on the tired old first-person shooter genre, giving us bombastic action on top of beat-cop activities, detective-level investigations, and classic RoboCop-tier dialogue.
It was all way better than it had any right to be, with the sole critique directed at the game being that it was sometimes too samey and repetitive. Enter the Unfinished Business DLC: a standalone Rogue City story that takes RoboCop in a brave new direction with way more variety, and with all the best bits from the original Rogue City included by default. Here's what you get in the package!

First things first, then: RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is not a regular, run-of-the-mill DLC the way we get them nowadays. It's instead a standalone expansion pack. If that doesn't make sense, then this example might help: two of the three original STALKER games were actually standalone expansion packs, too. Indeed, whereas the very first game - Shadow of Chornobyl - was its own thing, the two follow-ups - Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat - were essentially building onto it as separate, but deeply connected releases.
Unfinished Business is basically that. All the core gameplay features and the progression loop itself will stay the same as they were in the original Rogue City. Crucially, select aspects of the core experience will be elevated and improved upon in a meaningful way, and some of those we'll go over in this here article.
The gist of it all, really, is simple: if you enjoyed RoboCop: Rogue City, you're going to love Unfinished Business as well. At the same time, you do not need to own Rogue City to be able to play Unfinished Business. Consider it a side-quel more so than anything else!

Rogue City - Unfinished Business almost entirely takes place in the confines of the ominous OmniTower. This humongous housing complex was originally supposed to house Old Detroit's downtrodden crowds, but it's since been taken over by a mysterious private military. These PMCs' ranks include minigun-wielding super-heavies, cyborg samurai, jet-pack troops, combat drones, and a whole slew of other, bespoke enemy types.
This sits in stark contrast with Rogue City's actual Detroit setting, and it's more reminiscent of a Judge Dredd type of thing than anything else. Should make for a very exciting change of pace, however, that's for sure.
In fact, RoboCop will now have access to at least two crucial new tools: fancy finishing moves and the Cryo Cannon weapon, each of which adds a new layer of complexity and engagement to what is already a feature-rich FPS. Oh, but just you wait: it gets even better.

Finally, easily the most exciting new feature found in the Unfinished Business DLC is the ability to take control over the clumsy, barely tameable ED-209 bots. These huge, lumbering monstrosities might not be quite as efficient as RoboCop himself, however they do pack a much heftier punch, and they've got missile launchers to spare.
On top of taking control over ED-209's substantial firepower, Unfinished Business also goes the other direction. In select sequences, players will need to control Alex Murphy as he once was: a mere beat cop struggling against street-level crime. This promises a huge amount of variety in the DLC campaign, which was a bit of a sore spot in the base game.
RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is coming out on July 17, and it's going to be available as a standalone purchase entirely separate from the base RoboCop: Rogue City game. Obviously, though, do play through the original title because it's an absolute hoot. It's just that this standalone DLC will be even hootier.
Variety? You got it!
We've loved STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl here at 2Game basically from the get-go. It wasn't a perfect game, no - still isn't - but it had heart and it had vibes in troves, and that's what counted the most. By no accident did it make its way onto our list of top 100 PC games, mind! Since then, the game has only gotten better thanks to the efforts put in by the developer GSC Game World, and update 1.5, specifically, is in a league of its own.
If you don't believe us, that's fair! To summarize just the large, game-changing bits though, STALKER 2's update 1.5 includes the release of the game's modding SDK and Steam Workshop support (!), two new weapons, the actual revival of offline A-Life, mutant looting, and staged reloads for weapons. Not bad, right? Oh, it gets so much better than that. Let's get to it.

Easily the biggest boon featured in STALKER 2 1.5 is its modding SDK. This 700-gig uncompressed asset and feature package allows modders to finally go all-in on improving and adding to the base STALKER 2 experience. Best of all, modding is now easy as pie, since you can just install mods via the Steam Workshop and be done with it! Console versions of the game feature Mod.io, and the usual Nexus platforms remain supported if you mod manually. We've got the best of all worlds present, then, and though it'll take a bit of time before STALKER 2's mod-kit is fully made use of, it's only a matter of time now. Keep in mind, too, that this is just Phase 1 of STALKER 2's mod-kit release, with GSC slowly filling out feature access over time.
Both of the two new weapons will be familiar to all fans of STALKER community content: the legendary Kora is a spruced-up Colt 1911, while the Three-Line Rifle is a Mosin. Whereas the former was basically a mainstay in ye olde franchise entries, I'd like to note that the Mosin was never in a mainline STALKER title up until now, making it a particularly exciting addition. Unique tacticool variants, too, are present in the game world.
Enough with the excitement, though! Here's a shortlist of all the big features added as part of STALKER 2's new patch 1.5 (excluding A-Life improvements, more on those down below):
An excellent update overall, then, but we've left the biggest and most important feature for last: A-Life upgrades.

Up until version 1.5, STALKER 2's A-Life NPC simulation systems have been fairly disappointing and rudimentary. A huge shame, considering just how important of a feature online and offline A-Life was for STALKER in the past. You could alleviate some of these issues with mods, of course, but it wasn't a great substitute for something that GSC Game World had to implement properly.
Now, we're thrilled to say that update 1.5 delivers easily the biggest list of A-Life improvements we've seen in STALKER 2 yet. In fact, we dare argue that this is the start of true, genuine innovation here, because all the bits and pieces of A-Life proper are now visible even in the base game. Here's the list:
It's hard to put into words how important Offline A-Life is for STALKER if you haven't ever experienced it, but this really is the crux of the simulation of Zone life. The game needs to feel like it's always changing, evolving, and moving on: especially when the player isn't present to drive the gameplay loop forward. This is now finally possible, and it is transformative in practice.
A great showpiece, then, especially since GSC Game World is going to continue improving STALKER 2 well beyond the scope of update 1.5. Stay tuned!
Probably the biggest update yet.
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re pretty excited about Borderlands 4. With new movement mechanics, multi-manufacturer gun builds, and a more open-world structure, this next chapter looks set to shake up the entire franchise. The early hands-on previews have been glowing, and for us, September 12th can’t come soon enough.
The only problem? The wait. And let’s be honest—waiting is hard. Especially when you’ve got itchy trigger fingers and a vault full of nostalgia.
Luckily, this is Borderlands we’re talking about. Sure, an exciting new era is approaching, but there’s no shortage of looting mayhem worth revisiting in the meantime.
Whether you’re craving co-op chaos, deep story beats, or a fresh twist on the formula, there’s at least one Borderlands title that’ll scratch the itch.
So, without further ado, here’s our pick of the best Borderlands games to play while you wait for Borderlands 4.

If you’re only picking one game before Borderlands 4, make it Borderlands 2. With razor-sharp writing, unforgettable characters, and a perfectly paced story anchored by one of gaming’s most iconic villains—Handsome Jack—this is the entry that nailed the formula.
Even years later, the gameplay holds up beautifully. The skill trees feel meaningful, the loot loop is as addictive as ever, and the world brims with dark humour and chaotic energy. Borderlands 2 also boasts arguably the strongest DLC lineup in the series, including Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, which later inspired its own spinoff.
Whether you're a returning fan or a curious newcomer, Borderlands 2 is where the heart of the franchise lives—and it’s not to be missed.

If you’re coming to the series fresh or just want to squad up with friends for some chaotic fun, Borderlands 3 is the most accessible and co-op-friendly entry in the series. It takes everything the franchise is known for—wild guns, fast-paced action, irreverent humour—and polishes it to a modern shine.
The gunplay is incredibly tight, with a ridiculous variety of weapons and builds across four distinct Vault Hunters. Movement upgrades like mantling and sliding keep combat fast and fluid, and quality-of-life improvements like level scaling and loot instancing mean you and your friends can play together no matter your level or progress.
While the story and writing didn’t land for everyone (especially after the high bar set by Borderlands 2), the moment-to-moment gameplay more than makes up for it. Add in heaps of post-launch content, Mayhem Mode modifiers, and endgame chaos, and you’ve got a perfect co-op playground.

Want Borderlands with a fantasy twist? Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a brilliant detour that trades sci-fi for swords, spells, and dragon-fueled nonsense.
Framed as a D&D-style campaign narrated in real-time by Tina herself, Wonderlands leans into chaotic storytelling, colourful worlds, and a flexible class-mixing system that lets you create some wild build combos. It’s a spiritual cousin to Borderlands 3, but with more freedom, more flair, and a lot more fireballs.
If Borderlands 4 is leaning into movement and build diversity, Wonderlands might be the best sneak preview of what’s coming next.

If you’re a lorehound or love digging into character origins, The Pre-Sequel is a must. Set between Borderlands 1 and 2, it explores the rise of Handsome Jack while also giving underused characters like Athena, Nisha, and Wilhelm their time to shine.
The most morally complex entry in the series, it shows how Jack transitioned from anti-hero to full-blown villain. The lunar setting and low-gravity movement mechanics can be divisive, but if you're in it for narrative weight and worldbuilding, it’s a rewarding ride.
With Borderlands 4 on the horizon, The Pre-Sequel adds context that will make the bigger picture hit even harder.

That all depends on what you’re after. If you want the full package—story, characters, loot, and legacy—Borderlands 2 is still the soul of the series.
If you're here for co-op fun with modern polish, Borderlands 3 will serve you well. And if you’re itching for something a little different (but no less chaotic), Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a wildly entertaining detour.
Whichever Vault you choose to raid, one thing’s for sure: you won’t be bored. And the best bit? Every skag you blast brings you one step closer to the mayhem awaiting in Borderlands 4.
Happy looting, Vault Hunters!
