With plenty of new releases and upcoming titles on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to be an action gamer—and even if you’re not into mastering complicated combos or deciphering cryptic puzzles, you’ll find something here to suit your tastes and learn about educational benefits of video games. Here are some of our most anticipated (as well as recently released) games from this year so far:
Hitman 3
Hitman 3 is a stealth video game developed by IO Interactive. It was released on 13 November 2022 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The game also features a single-player campaign that can be played offline or online co-operatively with friends or other players through matchmaking.

Immortals Fenyx Rising
Immortals Fenyx Rising is the latest action game to hit the PC gaming scene. It’s set in a dystopian future where you play a young girl who must fight against a corrupt government.
