Alright, so here’s a thought that came to me while sipping my slightly cold coffee — why does this cool Mystery Box thing from Fanatical feel like unpacking a mix of surprise and chaos, kinda like reaching into a cereal box and finding a toy that you didn’t know you wanted? Anyway—wait, where was I? Ah yes, games. So here’s the deal:
Stellar Blade and Expedition 33 — these two gems make me wonder, “How are we even handling all this awesome?” I mean, they’re like the headliners of 2025, and guess what? Yup, they’re in the bundle. Stellar Blade was this PS5 darling for ages. Then, bang! It’s on PC. The combat? Imagine Devil May Cry tossed into a blender with those soul-crushing soulslike games. It. Doesn’t. Get. Old. My notes from the depths of a Sunday gaming session practically screamed, “Stylish combat here!”
Now, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — it’s one of those RPGs that sticks, like gum under a desk, but in a good way. Imagine epic turns, a story that pirouettes into your dreams, and characters you might dream about accidentally meeting at a fictional Starbucks. Yeah, it got me. And the combat? Flashy but not too in-your-face, if you know what I mean.
Then there’s Rematch. Like, it’s soccer but super amped up, as if EA’s games were put on a treadmill. I needed it after two intense RPGs — like washing down spicy wings with cold soda. Here’s the twist: it’s from Sloclap, the folks behind Sifu. They tackled soccer this time, and it’s got energy and more energy, you’re practically sprinting through it.
Fanatical’s life lottery, aka the Mystery Box? Wild. One pal and two coins might just snag you something big — throw Elden Ring Nightreign, Doom The Dark Ages, and Monster Hunters Wilds into this chaotic stew. Hoping for the Golden Box though, that’s wishful. But, hey, every box has a charm of its own — from hidden indie treasures to old favs.
And let’s not forget the constant chatter about these goodies on Discord or Google News. Still figuring out how to fiddle with the newest strategy game while sipping on cold brew coffee. Or was it tea? Maybe both.
Anyway, life’s a mystery box sometimes, right?
