The Sims 4 recently released a kit focused on castle building, and a player has managed to make an incredible castle, resorting only to the items available in the base game and this new pack. The Sims 4 went free-to-play in 2022, and this made it possible for a greater number of gamers to enjoy the game. While players can enjoy dozens of features with the base game, they can also significantly diversify the type of gameplay they get access to by purchasing additional content.
For most of its lifetime, The Sims 4 has had three types of DLC packs: expansion packs, game packs, and stuff packs. Packs were classified and priced according to how much content they provided. Eventually, EA added kits to The Sims 4, a more affordable DLC type with less content, making it possible to target niche themes.
Recently, The Sims 4 released the Castle Estate kit alongside the Gothic Galore kit. While the latter added a new style and focused on Create-a-Sim, the Castle Estate kit was designed for players who particularly enjoy Build Mode and creating their own homes and buildings. Sims 4 player Arelladia shared a beautiful castle that they managed to build using only the base game version of The Sims 4 and the Castle Estate Kit. The community was blown away by this creation; not only because it had been built a few years after the kit's release but also because they had such a limited selection of Build Mode items.
While The Sims 4 base game has a decent amount of Build Mode content, it is still quite limited. On top of this, since kits are the smallest type of Sims 4 DLC content, the Castle Estate kit only adds 25 Build Mode items to the game, which means they still had to be wildly creative in order to make such a stunning castle.
The Castle Estate kit is perfect for medieval buildings such as Arelladia's castle. For $4.99, the Castle Estate kit gives gamers access to 25 majestic building items, which they can use to make a beautiful fairytale castle or a haunted fortress with a menacing aura. Players who enjoyed The Sims Medieval will feel right at home, as they will be able to recreate some of their favorite scenarios.
The Sims 4 is the latest offering from Maxis and The Sims Studio, serving as a sequel to The Sims 3. Although it was released back in 2014, the game is still going strong today thanks to an array of DLC add-on packs that give players access to more unlockable items and events.

At The Game Awards 2019, Microsoft surprised everybody not only with the announcement of the Xbox Series X and S, but also with an in-engine tech demo that showed off the graphics that would be possible with the next generation of consoles. The goal was to show off the photorealism potential, and the game it chose was Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. The trailer is terrifying and moody, with Senua belting out a Scandinavian folk tune and glaring intensely as flames and light surround her. If Microsoft wanted to make a memorable splash, it definitely succeeded.

Joel seems a decent choice if you're delving into No Return, The Last of Us Part 2's brand-new roguelike mode. With a powerful custom revolver, an upgraded melee weapon, and a shiv (plus a recipe to craft more), his is the best starting loadout of all. Unfortunately, he also has the biggest disadvantage: he can't dodge.

Back in 2024 Microsoft and Bethesda announced a new Indiana Jones game was coming our way courtesy of producer Todd Howard and Wolfenstein developer MachineGames, but since then, very little else has been revealed.

Everything was going right for Wonderbow co-founder Laia Gonzalez. Her small publishing company’s latest project, a board game called Kelp, had wildly exceeded expectations and was closing in on its final crowdfunding total of more than $1.5 million. Delivery was scheduled for October 2024, so there was plenty of time to begin finalizing the game’s components and coordinating with a manufacturer for production. Hoping for a little extra dose of dopamine, Gonzalez did a quick Google search to see if anyone in the vast and turbulent sea of tabletop influencers was particularly hyped about her company’s game. But instead of a new video of someone sitting in front of an overstuffed Ikea shelving unit, she was surprised to find Kelp already up for sale on Amazon. She, Wonderbow, and game designer Carl Robinson had become the latest victims of board game counterfeiters.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to city-builders - a requirement in a genre so full of excellent, unique attempts to put a spin on the ideas that SimCity laid down so long ago - but there's one that I've had my eye on for a while, and it's finally coming out in just a couple of months.
