Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boss hands The Outer Worlds 2 a "7/10," hopes Obsidian spends "all of Microsoft's money" on RPGs more like Fallout New Vegas and, also, like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 "I would bet that budget for KCD2 was WAY LOWER than Outer Worlds 2"

"Like a man who snuck into a baking contest judging panel, I find myself uninterested in the competition and just happy to have two cakes."

In decades of watching anime, I have never wanted a season 3 more: My Dress-Up Darling season 2 was a huge step up, and the manga has so much more to give Opinion | My kingdom for My Dress-Up Darling season 3

Extremely rare Anime FeatureTM

"One page of the manga โ€“ carved so clearly onto my brain that I would see it if I rolled my eyes back โ€“ beautifully depicts Marin's unspoken demand of the author. She is undeniable."

The Nioh games are peak unintentional comedy. I feel like a tin can tied to a van barreling through historical fiction at the speed of sound. Could abruptly show me getting married or murdered or both in a cutscene and I'd just nod along either way. Yeah, man. Obviously that's what happens next.

A brave Alpha Magikarp in Pokemon Legends Z-A is getting revenge by blasting unsuspecting players with Hydro Pump instead of the usual Splash attack How you like them apples?

"Pokemon Legends Z-A made two systemic changes that have allowed Magikarp, patron saint of latent potential, to shine like never before ... Secondly, it gave Magikarp a gun."
