Games

I want to talk about how frequent updates and patches have solved many of the complaints players had, even smaller ones. For example, the feeling of emptiness after finishing Pywel – beating all the bosses and freeing every area – was recently fixed. Now, you can refight bosses and areas will be reoccupied, which actually adds to the game’s appeal. This got me thinking: what started as a single-player game that naturally became quieter as you progressed has unexpectedly evolved into something like a live-service game, but without the usual things like in-app purchases or season passes.

As a critic, I’m really excited about what Prime Video is building with its superhero content, and their latest offering, Spider-Noir, is particularly intriguing. It’s a live-action series spun off from the Spider-Verse films, and get this – Nicolas Cage is playing the film noir-inspired Spider-Man! The show drops next week, and the initial reviews are in. From what I’m hearing, Spider-Noir could be Prime Video’s next big success – it sounds like they’ve really struck gold with this one.

Recently, the co-op RPG Sunderfolk was heavily discounted on the Epic Games Store. Now, Steam players can enjoy the same deal! From May 21st to May 25th, you can download and play Sunderfolk on Steam for free. This is a great chance to try out the full game and see if it’s a good fit for your gaming group.

During an interview with Restart.Run, director Hamaguchi revealed a surprising answer when asked about regrets during the game’s development: the Trophy list. He explained that Square Enix intended players to have a wide variety of options and freely choose the activities they enjoyed.

So far, Sega hasn’t said anything else about Crazy Taxi, and the recent video doesn’t include any extra information. However, with several gaming events happening in early June, it’s possible Sega is hinting that we’ll soon get a proper look at the Crazy Taxi reboot.

Capcom calls Ingrid a well-rounded fighter who uses a mix of attacks and ranged projectiles. She can also create Sun Crests, which boost the power of her moves – the more Crests used, the stronger the attack. While building up these Crests, she excels at keeping opponents away with various projectiles.

I was really surprised to see how well Regular Show: The Lost Tapes started! The first episode brought in around 203,000 viewers on Cartoon Network, and even though later episodes didn’t quite reach that number, it was still a strong launch. It’s exciting that the show is back, especially internationally on HBO Max – it actually debuted as the number two series there! It seems like a lot of people were eager to see Mordecai and Rigby return. With J.G. Quintel back involved, along with so many other original creators and cast members, it truly feels like the original Regular Show is back, and that’s a great thing.

When The Running Man first came out in theaters, it wasn’t a big success for Paramount. It was a major box office disappointment in 2025, earning only $69 million despite costing $110 million to make. Reviews were also mixed, with critics saying the movie felt rushed and its ideas weren’t very strong. However, the film has found a new audience thanks to streaming on Paramount+, introducing it to a whole new group of fans.

Several former supervillains have surprisingly joined the Justice League. Sometimes they genuinely want to redeem themselves, while other times they have ulterior motives. Regardless, a number of DC’s most powerful villains have served as official League members, though their heroic turns haven’t always lasted.

It’s common for big-budget games like Final Fantasy to have long gaps between releases, but this can make people forget how much history the series has. While the franchise may not be attracting as many new younger players, re-releasing older games on modern consoles is letting a whole new generation experience them. This strategy has worked incredibly well for Square Enix, especially with the popularity of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth, which have appealed to both longtime fans and newcomers.
