This game puts you in the role of Mono, a young boy investigating a strange tower in The Pale City. The tower is sending out signals that are changing reality around him. He’s joined by Six, the girl in the yellow coat from the first game, who helps him on his journey. While the game features the same charming characters, it also introduces a lot of challenging enemies. You’ll need to be careful and strategic to overcome them and progress through the warped world.

The game’s advertising highlights a detailed and immersive world, focusing on its rough edges and how you navigate them. However, that’s not the main reason we’re eager to play. We believe the gritty atmosphere of Tyndalston is perfect for a game that keeps you constantly on edge, demanding careful planning and smart choices, because mistakes have significant consequences.

Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X owners can now play several Assassin’s Creed games at no cost, including Mirage, Valhalla, Odyssey, Origins, and Unity. While the latest installment, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, isn’t included, many of the popular RPG-style games like Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins are available. The more traditionally styled Mirage is also part of the offer. Surprisingly, Unity is included as well, likely due to a recent update that significantly improved the gameplay experience and has reminded players how well the older game still plays.

Even though we can’t travel back to the ’90s, we can still enjoy the iconic movies from that decade. Luckily, streaming makes it easy! This month, there’s a great selection of ’90s films available, and you don’t even need a subscription to a major streaming service to watch them. Several free streaming platforms—like Tubi, Pluto TV, and Kanopy—offer a fantastic range of ’90s movies in April. We’ve put together a list of seven recommendations, including where to watch them for free.

I was so fascinated to hear Oona Chaplin talk about filming that intense Nightwraith/Ikran fight scene with Zoe Saldaña! Apparently, they only had one of the rideable puppets, so they actually took turns being thrown around! She described Zoe being on the floor, acting out the attacks, and then switching places. She said watching it back-to-back would be hilarious because it felt so silly while they were doing it, but the final scene is just breathtaking!

Okay, so playing Pokémon Champions feels pretty different than other Pokémon games, mostly because you skip all the usual training. Honestly, that’s a huge relief – no more endless grinding to get my Pokémon strong enough for Gym Leaders or the Elite Four! But, it also means the battles are a bit simpler, and some of the stuff we’re used to in Pokémon isn’t there anymore. It’s a trade-off, for sure.

While no one disliked the story, many felt it didn’t quite live up to the high quality of everything else the developers created. The side missions, particularly those tied to the different factions, were especially engaging. The main story, however, felt a bit disjointed, frequently switching between the storylines of the Greymanes and The Abyss without a strong connection between them.

This older civilization, existing either before or alongside Pywel, clearly valued intense mental challenges. As a result, the game’s puzzles are incredibly complex, each introducing unique ideas and forcing players to quickly adapt – much like the skilled Greymanes. This is a welcome change from many open-world games that prioritize accessibility, but it can also be frustrating. The game deliberately avoids hand-holding, trusting players to solve problems on their own, which is a bold design choice.

Tubi is becoming a significant force in the streaming world, and it’s not just because it offers movies and TV shows without a subscription fee. Recently, Tubi has added a lot of popular Cartoon Network shows and several classic Looney Tunes cartoons. Now, they’ve also included the first South Park movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, to their growing library. Although it’s the only South Park content on Tubi right now, this movie could be the start of more episodes featuring Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny becoming available on the free streaming platform. You can watch the movie for free here.

At this year’s Digimon Con stream, fans were shown what’s coming next for the Digimon franchise. The stream often happens at inconvenient times for viewers in the U.S., so some fans might miss the announcements. Luckily, a replay is available where you can see a brand-new Digimon game, Digimon Up!, which is planned for release in 2026. This game will be a free-to-play RPG available on mobile devices later this year.
