How The Last of Us Part II’s Chronological Mode Hurts (and Helps) the Game

Playing the game in chronological order offers a simpler way to experience the story, but it does come with some pacing issues. The game warns you upfront that the flow might feel off, and that’s true. While the overall story benefits from seeing Ellie and Abby’s journeys unfold together without a break in the middle, the beginning feels slow. All the flashback scenes happen early on, one after another. In the original game, these slower moments came *after* intense action sequences, providing a change of pace. Here, you get several hours of story setup with very little action before Ellie and Abby’s main stories begin.

As a Retrofuturistic Handyman Sim, The Lift Might Become One of My Favorite Games

I just heard about this new game called *The Lift*, and it sounds really promising! It’s being published by tinyBuild, who I know from games like *Pathologic 2*, *Clustertruck*, and *Hello Neighbor*. The developers, Fantastic Signals, are a brand new indie studio, but get this – they’re made up of people who worked on *Ori and the Will of the Wisps*! So they clearly know what they’re doing, and I’m definitely keeping an eye on this one.

This New Movie Looks Certain To Become 2025’s Biggest Horror (Only 1 Thing Is Stopping It Now)

As of today, *The Conjuring: Last Rites* has earned $332.6 million worldwide. This already makes it more successful than other horror films like *Weapons* ($259.5 million) and *Final Destination Bloodlines* ($310.4 million). *Last Rites* is quickly gaining on *Sinners* ($366.6 million) and is poised to become the highest-grossing horror movie of 2025. With only $34 million separating the two, it’s likely *Last Rites* will soon surpass *Sinners*.

Fantastic Four’s Digital Release Confirmed as First Steps Nears 1 Final MCU Box Office Scalp

Following its theatrical release, *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* will be available for purchase on digital platforms starting September 23rd, 2025. This is roughly two months after its cinema debut, mirroring the release schedule for other Marvel Cinematic Universe films in 2025, like *Captain America: Brave New World* and *Thunderbolts*. Currently, *First Steps* is also nearing a box office milestone – with a worldwide gross of $518.8 million, it’s only a few hundred thousand dollars behind the 2015 film *Ant-Man*, which earned $519.3 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

This Forgotten 3-Season Fantasy Show Is Great From Start to Finish (& It’s on Netflix)

What sets *A Discovery of Witches* apart is its consistency, which is rare in today’s television. It’s frustrating to start a show you enjoy, only to have the quality decline in later seasons, but that doesn’t happen here. The first season earned a remarkable 94% audience score on *Rotten Tomatoes*, and while subsequent seasons saw a small dip, it consistently remained above 80% (nearly 90% overall). The show keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end, so you never feel like your time was wasted. It’s not perfect, but its reliability is a major strength in a TV world where consistency is often lacking.

PlayStation Insider Reveals When September 2025 State of Play Is Happening
