Over time, opinions on the film have become increasingly divided, much like opinions on everything related to Star Wars. Its flaws have become more noticeable with repeated viewings – it’s often criticized for being too similar to the original film. This, combined with the strong disagreements surrounding the sequel trilogy, the controversy over The Last Jedi, and the disappointing conclusion of The Rise of Skywalker, ultimately casts a negative light on the entire work.

When Nintendo first released the Nintendo Entertainment System, they offered several packages. One of the most appealing included R.O.B., or Robotic Operating Buddy – a real robot meant to help players in games. While R.O.B. seemed like a smart idea and was certainly eye-catching, it didn’t actually work very well. It only functioned with two games, and even then, it was often unreliable. Though gamers were ultimately disappointed with R.O.B., it was a huge success for Nintendo’s marketing, effectively encouraging people to buy the NES.

There are many games inspired by the challenging style of FromSoftware’s titles, like The Lords of the Fallen and Lies of P. However, finding one that focuses on cooperative play is trickier. While FromSoftware games allow you to summon other players, it can be cumbersome, and you might want to play with a specific group of friends. Plus, their upcoming game Duskbloods is only coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, leaving many players searching for alternatives. Luckily, Serpent’s Gaze, available on Steam, looks promising and aims to offer a similar experience to Nightreign. It will enter Early Access next year.

Many fantastic Batman stories exist, and fans frequently debate which ones are truly the best. However, some popular stories don’t quite live up to the hype. Here are five Batman stories that are often praised more than they deserve.

Though Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Marvel Zombies happened in different universes, Captain America: Brave New World, Daredevil: Born Again, Thunderbolts, Ironheart, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Eyes of Wakanda all took place on the main MCU Earth (designated Earth-616) in 2025. These six projects introduced a lot of exciting new characters to the screen – some were reimaginings of previously disappointing adaptations, and others were appearing on screen for the very first time. This is a positive step for Marvel, suggesting even more fresh faces will be joining the MCU in future installments.

The sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, immediately became the most popular new manga of 2025 with its first chapter. It was followed closely by Chapter 198 of Chainsaw Man and Chapter 1161 of One Piece. Fans were excited for the continuation after feeling the original series ended too soon, and the debut of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo quickly became the most-read chapter on the Manga Plus platform.

The members of HUNTR/X are a powerful force when they collaborate, but each Demon Hunter has a unique fighting style that matches her personality and past. This makes the world of KPop Demon Hunters richer and more interesting. Here’s a look at how these three girls battle demons.

Looking ahead to 2026, it’s clear fantasy is going to dominate the box office – we’ve got Christopher Nolan’s follow-up and a new take on Narnia coming our way. But 2025 hasn’t been a total fantasy drought. While things were a bit quieter this year, there were still some real gems, and I want to highlight six of my favorites.

I just finished Resident Evil 4 and now I’m playing Resident Evil Village on the PSVR2. I started it before, but never got around to finishing, so I’m restarting the game to get ready for the release of Resident Evil Requiem in 2026.
