The seven games listed here commit some serious video game mistakes, making them some of the worst RPGs ever created. We based our choices on both how fans view these games and their very low scores on Metacritic, identifying some truly poorly designed RPGs.
DC Comics used to publish a lot of scary horror comics, but that’s been happening much less lately. While I’m a big fan of traditional superhero stories, I think it’s time DC brought back the chills and monsters of its horror past. And they already have the ideal character to lead the way: Martian Manhunter. He’s the perfect hero for a new wave of superhero-horror, and here’s why.
Leading up to the season finale of *Peacemaker*, James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, hinted that the episode would be important for the upcoming film, *Man of Tomorrow*. Now that the finale, “Full Nelson,” has aired, it’s clear what he meant. The episode introduces Salvation, an alien planet that the U.S. government is using as a prison for people with superpowers. The season ends with Rick Flag Sr. sending Peacemaker (Christopher Smith) to Salvation as revenge, leaving him stranded on this strange and dangerous world. Salvation will be a key location throughout the first major storyline in the new DC Universe, and while *Man of Tomorrow* will explore it further, it won’t reveal everything fans are wondering about.
If you’re looking for horror on Peacock, you might think of the *Chucky* movies or newer series like *Terrifier*. But Peacock also has the complete *Phantasm* franchise, and it’s a hidden gem! The original 1979 film is a truly unique and unsettling horror movie, relying on dreamlike logic and genuinely original scares. Best of all, you can stream every movie in the series right now on Peacock.
2026 marks the 35th anniversary of the popular *Baki* series, and fans can expect some exciting things to celebrate. A special illustration featuring Baki and his father, Yujiro Hanma, was recently released as a preview. While details are still coming, the *Baki* franchise has a lot to look forward to. With the anime returning to Netflix and new manga chapters still being published, Baki’s journey is far from over, even after his victory over his father, ensuring continued success for the series on the streaming platform.
Okay, so in *Blue Prince*, I play as Simon P. Jones, and I’ve inherited this huge, 45-room mansion from a Baron. Sounds awesome, right? There’s a catch though. To *really* get the inheritance, I have to find a hidden 46th room! But there are rules. I can’t bring anything in with me, and I definitely can’t spend the night there. The craziest part? The whole mansion changes every single day! Basically, I have to explore as much as I can each day, trying to reach this area called the Antechamber, which will hopefully lead me deeper into the mansion and, eventually, to that secret Room 46. It’s a lot of exploring and a race against time!
T’Challa, or Black Panther, consistently stands out as the most memorable character in any story he’s in. His primary goal is always the safety and prosperity of Wakanda, so it’s fitting that he’s appeared in several animated series and films. Here’s a ranking of all the animated versions of Black Panther.
A common weakness of 80s anime was its tendency to tell stories in separate episodes, even when a continuing story would have worked better. This often meant plots felt rushed, went nowhere, or repeated themselves, as seen in shows like *Urusei Yatsura*, which prioritized humor over developing its romantic relationships. Despite these issues, the 80s produced a lot of creative and interesting ideas that are still worth exploring today.
In this new game from AdHoc Studio, you’ll lead a team of quirky heroes responding to emergencies around the city. Expect plenty of drama, political intrigue, and complicated relationships along the way.
The Silver Age of Superman is particularly notable. Filled with playful, often science fiction-based stories, this era was generally lighthearted but significantly broadened the Superman legend. It introduced key ideas about Krypton, Superman’s abilities, and the origins of many of his iconic villains. It’s a fantastic period for Superman fans – and here are seven of the best stories from that time.
