After a mixed reaction from ‘Star Wars’ fans, Disney+ decided not to continue the show for another season.

‘Starfield,’ created by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks, lets players explore a huge galaxy with over 1,000 planets. While the game allows for extensive ship customization and includes different factions to join, some players have noted that frequent loading screens break up the flow of gameplay when traveling between space and planets. The game creates planets using procedural generation, which has led to some criticism that environments and locations can feel repetitive. Despite being a commercial success on Xbox and PC, many conversations focus on how its exploration compares to other popular games from the same developer.
This indie game, created by Parsec Productions, challenges players to find eight notes hidden in a spooky forest while evading the Slender Man. It quickly became popular online, but reviewers have noted that it lacks complex gameplay and mostly involves repeating the same action.

While the game helped introduce the ‘pursuer’ style of horror games, some believe its success was more due to internet trends than clever design.
‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,’ created and released by Bethesda Game Studios, is still considered one of the greatest open-world games ever made.

Many feel the main story isn’t as interesting as the many side quests available. While incredibly popular, some longtime fans think the game’s role-playing elements are simpler than in earlier ‘Elder Scrolls’ titles.
