#12 Light No Fire

#13 Atomfall
Developer: Rebellion | Release Date: March 27, 2025
Atomfall looks like it has all the hallmarks of a great survival game, but instead of just any old post-nuclear disaster, it’s a British nuclear disaster.
#14 Project 007

The series is coming back as simply “Skate.” in early access next year as a free-to-play game from some of the same folks who created the original.
#16 Witchbrook

There’s something about 2D pixel art that’s just good for the soul, and just based on the screenshots, Witchbrook has the formula perfected.
#17 Dune: Awakening
Developer: Funcom | Release Date: Early 2025
Dune: Awakening is an open world survival MMO from Funcom, the same studio behind Conan Exiles, and that’s reason enough to keep it on the radar.
#18 Mafia: The Old Country

The next Citizen Sleeper is just around the corner, launching sometime next month. The Jump Over the Age developer sat down to chat with the show about some of the new features in Citizen Sleeper 2.
#22 Crescent County
Developer: Electric Saint | Release Date: TBD
“Witch tech” looks as cool as it sounds, and Crescent County is all about it with tricked out brooms and fancy, witchy time powers. Toss that in with a bit of flirting, racing, and decorating more cozy dwellings, and it’s easy to see why this one makes the cut.
#23 Control 2
Developer: Remedy Entertainment | Release Date: TBD
Knowledge of Control 2 begins and ends with “Control 2 is happening,” but Remedy’s pedigree is more than enough to land it on a 25 Most Wanted list any year.
#24 Killing Floor
Developer: Tripwire Interactive | Release Date: Early 2025
The next Killing Floor takes its hellish co-op horde shooter to 2091. During the show developer Tripwire Interactive shared a little news regarding some old friends, the Husks.

Soft2Bet releases TopBet.ro in Romania with a motorsport‑inspired identity tailored to local fans
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Soft2Bet has launched TopBet.ro, a new Romanian sportsbook designed to cater to local habits and preferences. Built with a clear focus on motorsport and match-day culture, the brand combines competitive odds and fast mobile journeys with an auto-themed identity that resonates with local fans.
From launch, TopBet.ro has been tuned to the way Romanians follow sport. Football and motorsport are front and centre, with timely markets, match-day boosts and content that reflects supporters’ weekly rituals. Romania’s proximity to major European circuits and easy short-haul travel make it a natural home for motorsport fans, and TopBet.ro responds with creative campaigns, themed missions and seasonal offers built around grand prix weekends. The same care is evident throughout the interface: clear navigation, quick bet placement, and a clean, mobile-first design.
Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet, said: “With TopBet.ro, we set out to create a brand that feels Romanian from the first tap, then added MEGA missions and challenges that turn derby days and grand prix weekends into journeys people return to. What we prove on our own brands becomes the toolkit we offer partners, combining culturally tuned products with measurable engagement and the ability to scale with minimal integration effort.”
Brand representative from TopBet.ro commented: “TopBet.ro is designed for Romanian fans who want more from every match. Together with Soft2Bet, we built a platform that connects sport, competition, and rewards in a way that feels natural and exciting. Our goal is to give every player the chance to experience the game like a champion.”
Alongside sports, TopBet.ro offers a comprehensive casino lobby for quick breaks or a change of pace, featuring popular slots, live dealer tables, and sports-themed titles, all delivered in a mobile-first format with clear navigation and quick load times. The experience is powered by Soft2Bet’s performance-first platform, which delivers speed, stability, and smooth gameplay, along with responsible play tools tailored to local requirements. A key part of this is MEGA (Motivational Engineering Gaming Application), the engagement engine that turns play into progress through missions, challenges and quests that unlock rewards and keep sessions fresh.
The approach has already proved successful in Romania, where seasonal quests and local events are firm favourites among players. By turning everyday actions into clear milestones and rewards, MEGA lifts session depth and repeat visits, helping first-time players become long-term customers.

Hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, Chief Sales Officer at GR8 Tech, each episode captures raw insight, candid stories, and the kind of energy you can only find on the road.

- Network or Not Work: mascots, localization, and keeping support teams local.
- A small personal detail that’s still quietly visible online for those who know where to look.
- His Champion Rule: move forward with an “I need to get this done” mindset. Whatever happens, don’t stop. Stay consistent, keep moving forward, and the results will follow.
“Tiago showed us how to win a new market with discipline, curiosity, and the courage to keep moving forward,” said Krazhan.
