5 Excellent Single-Player RPGs With Truly Immersive Open Worlds (Besides Skyrim)

Open-world games used to be a major draw for players, but recently, gamers are starting to expect more. Games like Skyrim and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild showed how exciting it could be to explore a vast, beautiful world, but simply having a big open world isn’t enough to impress players anymore. Many open-world games don’t create a world that feels truly engaging. However, these 5 single-player RPGs stand out – they all offer compelling adventures and a world you’ll actually want to get lost in.

11 Years Later, This Sci-Fi Masterpiece Keeps Getting Better (& It’s Easy To Stream)

Since its release in 2015, Ex Machina has become known as one of the best science fiction films of recent years. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews upon release (with a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and continues to be highly regarded. It’s amazing to think it’s been over a decade since the film first came out – a true sign of its quality and lasting impact. Now that Ex Machina is streaming on HBO Max, it’s the perfect time to watch or re-watch and appreciate what makes it so exceptional.

Rebecca Ferguson’s New Sci-Fi Kills Her RT Masterpiece Streak (but It’ll Be Fixed Later in 2026)

I just saw the new movie, Mercy, with Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, and stars like Ferguson and Pratt, and honestly, it’s not doing well – it only has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes! It takes place sometime in the near future, and the story is about a detective, played by Pratt, who’s accused of killing his wife. He has just 90 minutes to clear his name, because if he doesn’t, the AI court system he helped build – Judge Maddox, played by Ferguson – will decide his fate, acting as both judge and executioner.

At the start of the show, George S. Hammond led Stargate Command, later becoming a Lieutenant General and the head of Homeworld Security in season nine. After officially retiring, he was sadly revealed to have died of a heart attack in season five of Stargate: Atlantis. In his honor, Samantha Carter renames a new spaceship, the Phoenix, the George Hammond after taking command.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2’s Weekly Release Schedule Is a Problem

With so many TV shows dragging on with unnecessary episodes, The Pitt consistently stands out as excellent. The characters are well-developed, and even minor ones are interesting. However, I believe a single change before the second season could have made the show even better.

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out FCC Over New Attempts to “Stifle” Late-Night Shows Talking About Donald Trump

Jimmy Kimmel started his show on Thursday by criticizing Stephen Carr for attempting to limit free speech. This came after Carr suggested talk shows, including The View, should be required to give equal airtime to all political candidates. New guidance from the FCC clarifies that late-night shows aren’t considered legitimate news programs and therefore aren’t exempt from the equal time rule. Donald Trump quickly shared this news online, specifically mentioning Kimmel’s show and The View. However, Kimmel wasn’t going to let this issue go unchallenged.

7 TV Shows That Kept Getting Better With Every Season

While many TV shows stumble with their endings, some do get better over time. However, even these shows rarely improve consistently. Agents of SHIELD is a good example: it evolved from a typical crime show into a complex sci-fi story, but still had some uneven seasons and changes in direction. Generally, the most successful shows are the ones that stay consistently good. But occasionally, a show manages to get better and better with each season, avoiding the usual decline in quality and building increasingly compelling and emotional stories on a strong foundation.
