     Zenless Zone Zero beta, sign up dates, and how to check qualification

When is the Zenless Zone Zero beta? The latest gacha offering from HoYoverse is an urban fantasy adventure unlike either Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. It stands to reason that you might want to find out if it's to your liking ahead of its release date. That's where beta periods come in.

While it's still some time until the Zenless Zone Zero release date, HoYoverse has granted us a glimpse at the initial line-up of Zenless Zone Zero characters and story via the Zenless Zone Zero beta. Otherwise known as the Equalizing Test, the action-adventure game's second closed beta test period is imminent. Here's how to find out if you've qualified for the Zenless Zone Zero closed beta, and how to sign up for a chance to take part in the next one.

     Helldivers 2 is still missing the best part of the original

I love Helldivers 2. While Balatro and Last Epoch might have stolen slightly more hours of my time so far this year, Arrowhead Game Studios' bombastic co-op game repeatedly delivers these incredible moments of tension, panic, wonder, and elation; the kind of moments that make my brain shout, "This is the best game ever made." Yet, for all its masterful execution and an ever-expanding arsenal including the recent arrival of mechs, my favorite thing from the original Helldivers is still absent.

     Path of Exile Necropolis will bring some big quality-of-life upgrades

While we await more news on the upcoming Path of Exile 2, set to launch in early access later this year, developer Grinding Gear Games has more immediate news with the imminent next league, Path of Exile Necropolis. Amid the bombastic launch of Last Epoch on Steam and Blizzard's promised major item rework for Diablo 4 Season 4, along with the upcoming Titan Quest 2 and Grim Dawn's Fangs of Asterkarn expansion, it's a busy time to be an ARPG fan, but the Path of Exile 3.24 update shows that the champion of the genre isn't resting on its laurels.

     Dark Souls and Blasphemous collide in this Steam demo you can try now

If you're in the market for a 2D platformer in the vein of games like Blasphemous, Castlevania, and Dark Souls, the upcoming Skelethrone might just be for you. With plenty of non-linear Metroidvania progression and a 2D combat system clearly inspired by the work of FromSoftware, the game's free Steam demo is definitely worth a shot.

     Binding of Isaac style magical roguelike surges on Steam after update

The Binding of Isaac remains one of the most fundamental pillars of the modern roguelike, leading us into plenty more top-down games with bullet hell elements including Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, Children of Morta, and ultimately even the likes of Hades. Released via Steam Early Access in November 2023, Magicraft is one such game with very promising ideas, blending a unique spellcrafting system reminiscent of the likes of Noita or Magicka with that familiar Isaac-style perspective.

     This classic '90s Doom rival appears to be finally coming to Steam

Before Bungie made Halo, the studio made a Doom rival called Marathon. This classic FPS trilogy bears little resemblance to Bungie's upcoming extraction shooter reboot of the same name, but between 1994 and 1996 the trilogy of Marathon games would provide, in a lot of ways, the baseline for what would go on to become Halo on the Xbox. While freely playable for years thanks to an open-source fan project, the original Classic Marathon is now coming to Steam.

Which Sony IP and Game Series Do You Like Best Gravity Rush 2

Since the launch of the origin PlayStation, Sony built up quite a catalog of game series based on original IP, with many revered as some of the best titles on their respective consoles. For example, if you're going to recommend PlayStation 2 games to someone, the first-party game Shadow of the Colossus is going to come up. So today we're celebrating everything Sony directly had a hand in, and hope everyone will also suggest other games they loved too.

It's going back a bit, but I loved the Jak and Daxter series as a kid. The jump from kid-friendly platformer to gun-toting, Sci-fantasy, GTA-clone is a hilariously edgy move by today's standards, but when i was 8 years old or so it was the coolest thing in the world. I don't know if i necessarily want to see a reboot or anything, but I do plan to revist the series at some point. -Elliot

No game series has done for me what the two Gravity Rush games did. For a hot minute there, I thought we would never see Gravity Rush 2, but when it came out it was everything I wanted it to be. Flying through the bizarre and enchanting environments accompanied by the amazing music of the series never gets old. Even if we never get another title in the series, I hope Sony can one day release both games on PC, as they have been doing with its recent catalogue. -- Daniel.

When it comes to the best Sony PlayStation IP or game series, it is going to come down to either The Legend of Dragoonor the Dark Cloud games. Trust me on this. Dark Cloud, specifically Dark Cloud 2, is so revolutionary and feels so different that other action RPGs, due to the fact that you're rebuilding as a result of your dungeon crawling. As for The Legend of Dragoon, it is not only one of the best JRPGs on the PlayStation, it is one of the best games in the genre to come out of the 1990s. — Jenni
