As a huge romantasy fan, I’m so excited to see one of the biggest series really making a comeback with tons of new stuff! And it’s not just that – we’re finally getting a sequel to a fantasy book I’ve been waiting for! But the biggest surprise? A return in 2026 that absolutely no one predicted, and honestly, it’s the most creative way I’ve seen a series get revived.
If you’re looking for excellent sci-fi RPGs, here are some must-play titles – including both popular favorites and a few hidden gems. While I have a separate list for really obscure games, these offer unforgettable experiences that will likely leave a lasting impression. Whether you enjoy vast open worlds, stories where your choices matter, or classic space adventures, these sci-fi RPGs are a great pick – and while they’re amazing, they aren’t quite like Mass Effect.
Occasionally, a game truly tries something new and different. While these games aren’t always flawless, they often present unique ways to solve familiar issues, and if adopted by others, could significantly improve gaming experiences. A prime example is the 2025 RPG, Hell Is Us, which is surprisingly overlooked. Its fresh take on open-world design made exploring its stunning, yet eerie, environments feel genuinely new. It might just be the innovation the industry needs, but I doubt many developers will take the risk and copy its approach.
Occasionally, a TV show bursts onto the scene and maintains incredible momentum from the start. These shows skillfully keep their characters interesting and their plots engaging, ensuring they remain beloved classics no matter how old they get.
With around $894.2 million earned globally, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is close to reaching $1 billion at the box office after its first weekend in May. This puts the sequel, a collaboration between Illumination and Nintendo, on track for major success.
On April 30th, 2026, a small, curious audience gathered for a screening, unsure of what they were about to see. It quickly became clear when director Joe Dante appeared to introduce the film, explaining, “This is a very unusual event. We rarely revisit old, unfinished projects and show them to the public, flaws and all.”
Terri Irwin, whose children Robert and Bindi both won their seasons of Dancing with the Stars, has considered potentially competing on the show herself.
Matagot’s new game, Star Trek: Space Hunt, is a 2-vs-2 experience where one team plays as the Federation and the other as the villains. Players choose characters from three different eras of Star Trek – the original series, The Next Generation, and Discovery – and work together to protect their ship. A unique feature is a double-sided screen that hides each team’s board from the other, adding to the thematic tension. Space Hunt is scheduled to be released later this year, and you can get a first look at it below.
A popular post on the Crimson Desert Reddit page reveals a player only figured out how the “Focused Force Palm” skill works after 245 hours of gameplay. The post gained a lot of attention because many other players admitted they also didn’t understand the skill, even after playing for a significant amount of time.
Many fans anticipated an extra chapter showing the heroes enjoying glamorous lives after defeating the villains. However, the special episode took a different approach, focusing on the realistic challenges of adulthood. It starts by establishing the heroes’ current rankings, then quickly reveals that even after their great victories, characters like those in Class 1-A are simply navigating everyday life and dealing with common adult problems – things like work and personal growth – just like everyone else. The episode shows that even reaching No. 2 on the hero charts, as Todoroki does, doesn’t exempt them from the mundane aspects of being human.
