Film adaptations of video games have become a new gold rush for Hollywood. We have already seen such successful projects as The Last of Us or Fallout series, which allows us to attract a new audience to this universe (or return the old one). Of course, sometimes adaptations turn out to be not very good, to put it mildly, like the Borderlands film. However, it is becoming clear to everyone that in the coming years, we will see many more film adaptations of video games. After all, modern games are famous for their cinematic quality, and the rich lore and plot that unfolds gradually creates a new art form, so why not make a film, TV series or cartoon based on it? The gg editorial team decided to fantasise and name 10 games that deserve to be noticed by film producers and whose adaptations have not yet been officially confirmed.

One of the next LEGO games will be LEGO Horizon Adventures, which will expand the universe of Sony's popular IP and allow you to have fun with your friends. However, the release of the game was unknown all this time, but the authors probably accidentally revealed the release date themselves.

Usually, add-ons allow players to stay in their favourite game for a few more hours and explore something new. However, sometimes developers approach the creation of DLC with such enthusiasm that they can compete with full-fledged games in terms of quality and quantity of content. Sometimes, however, there is so much new content in an expansion that it is worthy of a separate game that can be sold at full price (greetings to the Poles from CD Projekt). The gg editorial team has found 10 such add-ons that have a lot of content and are so well made that they could easily claim to be separate games.

Don't Nod, the studio known for the Life is Strange series, presented its new project, Lost Records, at The Game Awards 2023 in December: Bloom & Rage. Although the game was postponed to 2025, it did not prevent the studio from showing a new trailer at Opening Night Live 2024.

In school and university, we study Greek mythology and it is almost impossible to find people who have not heard of Zeus, Hades, Athena or Apollo. At the same time, we are somewhat familiar with the gods of Egyptian mythology (Anubis, Horus, Nephthys) and Hindu deities such as Ganesha, Vishnu and Shiva. However, Scandinavian mythology is no less interesting, and it has received less attention in the world. And it's not all about Thor, who became famous in popular culture thanks to Marvel. In addition to the dozen gods, there are also several worlds, mythical creatures, from giants to draugr, Vikings, and of course, runes (the latter are still popular for tattoos). So, if you want to dive into some mythology but are tired of Greek, why not go to the harsh Scandinavia? The gg editorial team has found 10 games that will at least arouse your interest in Norse mythology, and some projects will make you fall in love with these myths.

Usually, we spend 8-12 hours to complete a "corridor" story game. If it is an open-world game, then you should prepare to get lost in it for 30-50+ hours. However, it is not always possible to spend that much time on one game. Lessons, family, work, children, or even a power outage if there is a country with a sick population near you, but you still want to play, what to do? Then short games come to the rescue, which can be completed in at least 1 evening, but the impressions you get are such that you remember this adventure in a month or a year much more than another open world with a hundred question marks. The gg editorial team has found 10 such games that won't take you more than 2 evenings to complete, but will be remembered for years.

In the 90s and early 2000s, many high-quality games were released that now have cult status. However, the younger generation, who may not have been born at the time of these games' release, will not play them because they will call them "old". Those who did play these games will also have problems, because it's simply impossible to run them on modern consoles (on a PC, you'll just have to dance with a tambourine for a long time). So, publishers are starting to remake these games so that they won't be forgotten, and they're improving everything from graphics to gameplay. And everyone benefits from this: some people finally get acquainted with new worlds, while others can feel nostalgic and have a new experience. The gg editorial team has found 10 such games that have been remade so well that they deserve to be played (again).

Cats are one of the most popular animals in the world, and it's a challenge to find a person who doesn't love these creatures. And if you suddenly don't have a cat, your neighbour or friend will have two. And as we know, usually the more popular a phenomenon is, the more attempts will be made to show it in video games. But how many games do we know about cats? Of course, the first game that comes to mind is Stray, which was probably the most popular game in the summer of 2022 and created such a stir that it is still being talked about. However, it doesn't end with Stray. There are also cat games about rescuing your sister's cat, searching for the owner in space, returning to your hometown in an attempt to find yourself, and even the cult Skyrim is related to cats. The gg editorial team has found 7 such games (though we couldn't do without mentioning Stray) and will tell you more about them so that you know exactly what to play if you adore cats and everything related to them.

We are used to the idea that a huge team of professionals is needed to create a successful game that will bring in millions of dollars. However, it can be enough to triumph with just one person who went to make a seemingly simple game. For example, everyone knows the story of Tetris. Although it did not bring Alexey Pazhitnov a million dollars (there were other times and there is a separate film about it), there are examples when a lone developer created a game that earned a million dollars (and even more). The gg editorial team found 7 such games that were actually created by one person alone and managed to get a sum with six zeros in the "money earned" column. Of course, this doesn't mean that the author of the game woke up one day as a millionaire and the entire sum belongs to him or her, but you'll agree that this is a result that will satisfy any indie developer who worked on a game in a one-person team.
