As a big comic book and Doom fan, I gotta say, Doom 2099: Rage of Doom #1 is a really solid read. Frank Tieri and Von Randal have crafted a story that feels both accessible to newcomers and satisfying for those of us who’ve been following Doom 2099 for years. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it absolutely delivers what you want, and the ending? It’s a cool surprise that definitely leaves you wanting more. It’s not going to be anyone’s all-time favorite Doom story, but it’s a fantastic jumping-on point or a great addition to your existing collection.

The game box clearly states that an internet connection is needed to install it, a requirement we’ve also seen in games like Crimson Desert.

You can play with friends on different systems in Quick Play and Online Arcade. In Online Arcade, players on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch can all join the same game. The room code system from the last update is still available, so you can easily connect with friends’ games.

What makes DarkSwitch special is its fresh approach to city planning and construction.

According to Booth, a key goal for the boss battles in 4:LOOP is to make each one feel distinct, going beyond just how they look. Bad Robot Games wants players to approach each boss differently, requiring them to use new strategies and think on their feet. Regarding ‘The Scanner’ (internally known as ‘The Cube’), Booth explained they aimed for a boss fight that focused less on direct fighting and more on understanding the environment, navigating effectively, and coordinating with teammates across the map.

Looney Tunes Gokko is a new anime series that gives the classic Warner Bros. characters a much cuter look. “Gokko” means “pretend” or “make-believe,” and this series is aimed at a younger audience. It follows the format of other “Gokko” series like Tom & Jerry, and a Scooby-Doo version is also planned. Warner Bros. hasn’t announced a specific release date, but says the Looney Tunes are “coming soon” to WB Kids, featuring favorites like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, and Wile E. Coyote.

Many fans disliked the later seasons of Game of Thrones because the show strayed from the original book series. However, it’s not fair to judge House of the Dragon the same way. House of the Dragon doesn’t have a complete set of novels to follow like Game of Thrones did. Instead, it’s based on a portion of the book Fire & Blood, which reads like a historical record of the Targaryen family, written as if it was compiled by a scholar. This means the story doesn’t offer insights into characters’ thoughts or motivations. While the show’s first two seasons had some questionable choices, Season 3 is looking to be the strongest yet, with more impressive battles and compelling character drama.

Jeph Loeb revisits the style of his popular “Hush” storyline in Batman/Wonder Woman: Truth #1, picking up the narrative not long after those events. He’s joined by artist Jim Cheung, colorist Jay David Ramos, and letterers Richard Starkings and Tyler Smith. Continuing the “Hush” saga is a bold move, especially with fans eager for the first part of “Hush 2.” But does this story, which genuinely explores the relationship between Batman and Wonder Woman, deliver?

The new game inKONBINI, a story-focused management simulator from indie developer Nagai Industries, launches on April 30th. Early critic reviews are starting to appear, and the first three are very promising. It’s already received two 9/10 scores and one 8/10, averaging around 87. If upcoming reviews are similarly positive, inKONBINI could become one of the highest-rated games of the year.

Railway to Golmud is a map where two factions, NATO and Pax Armata, battle for control of the remains of a village set within a vast and varied landscape. The terrain features both open areas for long-distance fighting and tight spaces for close combat. Adding to the challenge, a moving railway runs through the map and serves as one of the key control points.
