Fans of the Final Destination movies know there isn’t a lot of continuity, apart from each new sequel returning to the basic concept: Someone has a premonition of impending disaster and uses it to save the lives of people who would have died in that disaster, but death finds convoluted ways to claim them anyway. Even more than in more horror franchises, there aren’t legacy characters to check in on,...
Labyrinth of the Demon King is a must-play: It's a first-person, survival horror dungeon crawler that feels like an unholy fusion of King's Field, Resident Evil, and Condemned. When you do check it out, though, I've got one big piece of new player advice.Actually four, come to think of it: Always be kickingConsumables (including talismans) are your friendUpgrade your stamina three or four times before you ever touch healthAnd the...
"Knowledge was my main game, to figure out the law, to figure out the frame," rapped Robert De Negro in Joyride, the winningly goofy GTA title rap. "Just when I thought I knew justice, a cop behind me said, 'You've just been busted.'"I thought I knew the original Grand Theft Auto. That I had The Knowledge, like a London cabbie, and could find my way through Liberty City's maze of...
You would think the Skyblivion and Oblivion Remastered teams would be the bitterest of rivals, given how Bethesda surprise dropped a comprehensive makeover of its 2006 RPG on the heads of a team of volunteers, one which had been diligently working on a similar project for years. Yet if anything, the relationship between the two groups of Oblivion overhaulers is turning into a game dev love story.It all started before...
Civilization 7 has proved one of the more divisive games of 2025 thus far. At present, its Steam rating is split almost precisely down the middle, between players who enjoy its attempt to streamline the experience, and those who believe the changes result in a shallow and predictable turn-based strategy.It's the most divided response to a new Civilization game that I can personally recall. But according to Strauss Zelnick, boss...
Much like the gaming industry, entertainment has long been at war with piracy. But while gamers often turn to piracy to preserve titles lost to digital delistings or scarce physical copies, anime and manga fans, especially in earlier eras, relied on illicit means simply to access the content. Before widespread licensing, piracy played a crucial role in spreading anime and manga’s popularity, ultimately attracting major players like Netflix, Crunchyroll, Hulu,...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen would be the first to tell you: writing a video game is work. At least writing a novel is a one-person operation for most of the time. At least a screenplay for a film only needs to come in around 120 pages, unless you’re working for Martin Scorsese. But writing a video game? That means filling hours of space, bending the material to...
REPO's latest community update video made me laugh so hard that the top half of my head almost fully flapped backward, much like the yapping mouths of the game's own pedal bin-shaped robots. This wasn't due to the video's typically goofy opening, though I did crack a slight smile at the introductory silliness. Rather, it's because presenter and semiwork designer Pontus spends the first half of the update talking about...
After a 14-year hiatus, the Final Destination horror franchise returns to theaters on May 16 with Final Destination: Bloodlines. In the first five Final Destination films, death itself creates Rube Goldberg machines out of everyday objects, constructing freak accidents to kill people who previously escaped its grasp. The latest iteration puts a new spin on the formula by making death’s wrath a generational curse. Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B....
