Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows PC

A great achievement that breathes new life into a legendary game. A masterpiece for storytellers, a delight for gamers, and simply a great game for the long haul. Are you a dedicated PC player? Then congratulations!

The wait is finally over— The Last of Us Part II Remastered is officially coming to PC. Just in time for the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us, this version brings enhanced visuals, a developer commentary mode, and the No Return roguelike survival mode. If you thought the original was brutal, No Return will test your skills in a series of random encounters that get tougher as you progress. Plus, with 4K resolution and improved frame rates, you’ll be able to experience Ellie’s journey in stunning detail. Get ready for a game that blends intense storytelling, visceral combat, and moments of fleeting beauty in a world that refuses to give its characters a break.

The Last of Us games have left an undeniable mark on the gaming industry, setting a new standard for storytelling, character development, and emotional depth in video games. From its debut in 2013, The Last of Us redefined what a narrative-driven game could be, blending tense survival mechanics with a deeply personal story about love, loss, and survival. The sequel, The Last of Us Part II, pushed boundaries even further, delivering a complex, morally gray story that sparked widespread debate. The series' impact extends beyond gaming, influencing how developers approach cinematic storytelling and character-driven experiences while also inspiring adaptations, such as the acclaimed HBO series.

Beyond its narrative achievements, The Last of Us franchise has had a lasting influence on game design and industry trends. Its blend of stealth, combat, and exploration mechanics has been imitated by many, while its emphasis on detailed animations and AI-driven interactions raised the bar for realism. The series also contributed to discussions about inclusivity and representation in gaming, showcasing diverse characters and tackling challenging themes with maturity. Even years after its release, The Last of Us remains a benchmark for storytelling in games, proving that video games can be as emotionally compelling as any film or novel.

Sand – A Mad Max-Style Survival Game with Spider Tanks

Release date: April 3

Platforms: Windows PC

The characters are inspired by Halychany—residents of the western region of Ukraine. So, this isn’t just a survival shooter; it also comes with a unique cultural flavor. A must-have, especially since it’s free-to-play—whether it’s worth your time is up to you.

What if Rust met Mad Max, but with massive mechanical spider tanks? That’s basically Sand, an extraction shooter where survival is key and everyone is out for themselves. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with towering war machines, and your goal is simple: get in, get the loot, and get out before someone else (or something else) takes you down. Sand offers a unique take on the survival genre, blending PvE and PvP mechanics with explosive vehicular combat. If you enjoy scavenging for resources while dodging bullets and massive mechanical monstrosities, this one’s for you.

The Ukrainian game development industry is a growing powerhouse known for producing high-quality titles across various genres. From studios like GSC Game World (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) to Frogwares (Sherlock Holmes series) and 4A Games (Metro series), Ukraine has made a global impact despite challenges. The industry thrives on innovation, blending deep storytelling with technical expertise, and continues to expand with new indie and AAA projects.

Caligo – A Walking Simulator That’s More Than It Seems

Release date: April 3

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X

On the surface, Caligo looks like a dreamlike walking simulator with gorgeous landscapes, but beneath its beauty lies something much deeper. The game takes players on a journey through surreal environments that shift from peaceful fantasy forests to eerie nightmare worlds. Every step forward is filled with mystery, and the game’s philosophical undertones make it an experience that’s as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning. If you’re in the mood for something atmospheric that makes you question reality, Caligo is a must-play.

That wraps up this week’s major game releases. Whether you’re bracing yourself for the heartbreak of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, losing yourself in the dreamy landscapes of Caligo, or preparing for high-octane chaos in Sand, there’s no shortage of experiences to dive into. Which game are you most excited to play?
