Stix

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!

Gacha Games' icon Waifu's, then vs now. Wuthering Waves, Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Impact 3rd. I'd list Genshin Impact, but..... Paimon is still Paimon.

@OfficialKelbert Glad to hear that! Still has the best co-op in Gacha.

@ByteStix a bit of bumpy road at launch but we are cooking!

100 days after release.... going full GOONER. I approve. 👍 I hope the game's doing well. It was honestly fun.

@Animegod87 Glad you're enjoying it still!

@Scyrptor That's totally fine. I always say that not every game is for every person, that's why there are so many! I love NIKKE, Arknights, WuWa, Endfield, CZN, but not everyone enjoys those games!

@ByteStix Stix i watched your video and also your words from post I can also say i am excited to try new games, especially gacha but this TFT gameplay feels a bit less exciting for me than other new upcoming games Can we say this game is not for everyone? Is it weird to say?

Honkai Nexus Anima looks SO MUCH BETTER than their first trailer. What a significant improvement in terms of animations, character design, texture quality, and fluidity. This looked beautiful - the scenery, environments, and characters. Even some of the Pokemon creatures looked good. I was pretty critical about their first trailer, I mentioned it lacked the "HoYo polish," but I also noted that we needed to give them time to improve. This is what test phases are for - to provide feedback on what aspects of a game need to be polished. And they delivered. This new trailer (which likely isn't even the final version) showed such a significant improvement, and it makes me much more excited to play it. #honkainexusanima
