Okay, so I’ve been following the reviews for the new Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and while the first reactions are mostly good, it seems like it’s not quite hitting the same high notes as previous seasons. Right now, it’s sitting at 83% on Rotten Tomatoes after 36 reviews. That’s a decent score, but it’s noticeably lower than what we’ve come to expect from this universe. Every season of the original Game of Thrones was above 90% until the very last one, and House of the Dragon also started strong with 90% and 84% for its first two seasons. I expect that score to change a bit as more reviews come in, but honestly, I’m not totally surprised. This new show seems to be a smaller, more focused story, and maybe that’s leading to a little bit of critical disappointment given the incredibly high bar set by everything that came before.

The studio’s closure follows a recent Bloomberg report indicating Meta is significantly reducing staff within its Reality Labs division. These cuts will impact over 1,000 employees.

All three sets are available for pre-order now.

Although this version of the game was initially praised, it doesn’t perform as well as the original release on System 22. It runs at a slower frame rate – 30fps on North American consoles and a very sluggish 25fps on European ones – and the graphics aren’t as good.

The latest game, called Godzilla: Reign of Kaiju, is joining the UniVersus family. While there have been Godzilla cards before, this release offers a complete booster set with 15 characters from throughout Godzilla’s history – including favorites from classic films, more recent installments, and popular fan choices. You won’t have to wait long to play – it launches on March 13th!
