2026 marks a new year for me and for us as a community! With this in mind, I want to spend 2026 doing something a little different. A little more creative, and a little more high quality. As you can see in the attached image, views are good. For news, for new game reveals, for recaps of drama. All of it. But one thing I haven’t done much of lately is fully reviewing games. Playing them thoroughly to a point I can have a real, genuine, honest opinion of them. And that’s where this year changes that.
I started this channel — and grew this channel using my Worst Gacha Ever series. These videos did wildly well and were full reviews of different Gacha games.
However I'd only play them for 5, 10, sometimes 15 hours before reviewing them and in retrospect that isn’t nearly enough. So in 2026, what I’m going to do is pick 3 new games per month and stream them. Every single week. I’ll play them ON stream and OFF stream. I’ll do my utmost to put in AT LEAST 100 hours before reviewing them. I think that’s fair.
And I want to take you all along for the ride with me.
Do be aware: some of these games will be good, fun, but some will be painfully bad. But I think it’ll be worth it. A lot of people accuse Gacha CCs of being “sloptubers” due to the nature of react content and I do agree to an extent that react content CAN be slop depending on the kind of content it is. Which is why in an effort to ENHANCE my own content, I want to dive as deeply into these games as I possibly can before talking about them as if I know what I’m saying.
2026 will be a big year for me. Not only will I be uploading general reviews, news, reacts, new games, first impressions and everything else on my Stix channel, BUT, I'll be deep diving into fully informational videos and reviews on my Stix Playx channel.
This is the year where I grow as a person, as a content creator, and set not only an example in quality, but also in authority.
I will do my very best not to let any of you down, and will work to better myself, and the Gacha genre, however little I can. See you all there!
⭕A BRAND NEW GACHA GAME IS COMING⭕
Title: Digimon Alysion
Genre: Free-to-play online digital trading card game (TCG) / card battler (mobile adaptation of the physical Digimon Card Game)
Platform: iOS and Android
Developer: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment
Setting: Shares the world of the Digimon Liberator web manga/novel. Centers on the VR metaverse LACUNA, accessed via the full-dive T.A.L.E. headset and D-STORAGE device. Players enter the popular online card game "Digimon Liberator," following protagonist Kanata Hondo and her partner Gemmon (who can take human form as Futre), along with rivals like Valner Dragnogh.
Status: In development with a planned 2026 release (exact date TBA). A Closed Beta was held in August 2025. They confirmed ongoing improvements based on player feedback (UI, animations, friend matches, languages).
Next Test: None currently announced (previous Closed Beta was August 2025). It seems as though their focus is on preparing a stable full release.
Pre-registration status: Not yet open. Official announcements (as of October 16 and 20, 2026) state it will open within the next few weeks.
I truly hope this is good. Digimon UP (the last Digimon Gacha game) was not good at all. We really need a good Digimon game.

The newly released AI Gacha game Girls' Echo (sitting at 4.6* on the Google Play Store right now with a lot of botted reviews,) has been taking gameplay and trailers from other Gacha games like Silver Palace, Punishing Gray Raven, Wuthering Waves, Brown Dust 2 and Aniimo to advertise their game.
This is pathetic, and goes to show the severe lack of competence in the company. If your game cannot convince players to play your game, faking your game won't either. They'll login, see your game is NOTHING like you advertised, and then they'll uninstall.
Fake trailers, fake gameplay, and fake reviews will not save a fake game.
I hope everyone reports this company for reusing assets for other games for their marketing, trying to sell them as their own.
