Our regular writer Justin Wong continues his review of new PC games expected in 2023.
Farlanders offers classic city-building gameplay where the cornerstone of the gameplay is the management of limited resources, diluted with a few really interesting ideas, such as a turn-based time system or puzzle terraforming. However, the game very quickly plays out all its trump cards, becoming somewhat monotonous. Future updates that will add new modes (sandbox, daily challenges, etc.) aim to fix this. However, in addition to modes, the developer should also pay attention to expanding the number of features and content. However, what the game has to offer now is 100% worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the genre. You will be waiting for at least 10 hours of exciting conquest of the desert planet Mars.
For 10 long years, "Bleach" fans have been waiting for this event, and on October 5, it finally happened. Bleach is back with a sequel that covers the final arc of the manga, titled The Millennium Blood War. Studio Pierrot, who took up the title again, can be proud of themselves, because we can say with full confidence that they did not disappoint fans, meeting all expectations and expectations.

The series is currently ranked #1 on MyAnimeList with a rating of 9.11. You might think that it's just old fans who have woken up and on a wave of nostalgia raised the rating of the new anime to the sky, but it is not so. There is some truth to this, of course, and fans are incredibly happy to see the adaptation of the final arc, but such a high rating is not only nostalgia, but also a credit to the series itself.

On December 27, the final, 13th series of the first part of the "Millennium Bloody War" was released. It is not yet known exactly how many parts and series there will be in total in the adaptation, but it is known that the second part will be released in July, and given the trends of the modern anime industry, such a break is not even long, especially if you take into account the quality of the series. Well, now let's see what a great sequel it is.
In order to fully understand what exactly is happening in the "Millennium Blood War", you need to know at least in general what the "Bleach" is. If you've read the manga or watched the anime, you can safely skip the next two paragraphs. However, if you want to start with the Millennium Blood War, then read on.

Ichigo Kurosaki is a schoolboy who sees the souls of the dead. He has this ability due to his high spiritual power. Because of this spiritual power, at one point his family is attacked by a monster, the Void, who preys on people like Ichigo. In order to protect himself and his family, Ichigo becomes a shinigami (a kind of protector of souls) and receives extraordinary powers and a zanpakto - the main weapon of the shinigami in the fight against the Hollows.

Later, Ichigo ends up in the Soul Society, another dimension where people's souls go after death. There he has to fight no longer against the Empty, but against his "colleagues". In particular, against Aizen Sosuke, the captain of Gotei-13, a kind of national guard of shinigami, who betrayed the Soul Society for the sake of power. After that, Ichigo repeatedly had to fight against both Hollows and shinigami and even people who wanted either to harm his loved ones, or for revenge, or for the authorities, etc.
