Paradox has released the BioGenesis expansion and the 4.0 Phoenix update for Stellaris. BioGenesis focuses on biological evolution with a reworked genetic ascension system, living ships, a new player crisis called Behemoth Fury, three new origins, and a new megastructure. It also includes new...

In Episode 27 of the Critical Moves Podcast, Al, Joe, and Nuno dive deep into the newly announced Star Wars Zero Company, a tactical RPG set during the Clone Wars, bringing a fresh perspective to the galaxy far, far away. On May the Fourth, the crew breaks down everything we know about the game...

The Last of Us Season 2 is available on Max (in the US) and Sky/Now TV (in the UK). I absolutely buzzed off the first season and can't wait to wrap my eyes around season 2. Max have released a video covering the making of the first episode. Are you a fan of the series? Word is that the first...

In May 2024, Amazon Prime Video confirmed it was developing a Tomb Raider series, with Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge attached as writer and producer. Waller-Bridge hyped the project herself, saying, “Lara means a lot to me... Bats ’n all.” Fast forward to now: multiple sources say the...

Threads is coming back. Warp Films, the same lot behind Adolescence, are turning the BBC’s infamous 1984 nuclear-apocalypse drama into a modern TV series. If you’ve never seen the original: good. Stay that way. It’s one of the bleakest things ever broadcast. Sheffield gets nuked, society...

I'm old enough to remember when you had no choice but to wait until next week for the next episode. When a TV show was on at 9pm on a Saturday and if you missed it, well that's it, you missed it. Now, everything is On Demand. Streaming services are many, and you can often access an entire series...

And after you see the next one, come back and rate that too. The last one I saw was Gladiator 2 and I was profoundly disappointed. Rather than try something different they took the same tired underdog trope and made it shit. Tried to be clever with the set pieces but never came close to the...

According to Deadline, Michael Sarnoski (director of Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One) will write and direct the live-action Death Stranding movie. The film is being co-produced by A24 and Kojima Productions. Sarnoski’s next film (The Death of Robin Hood) is still in post-production, so this...

There are a ton of movies that are lesser-known but totally deserve more recognition and love. Sometimes I stumble upon a hidden gem and instantly fall in love with it but when I mention it to people they have never heard or seen the movie before. For that reason I would love to hear what...

Sometimes all it takes is one good trailer and suddenly we’re counting down the days until release. Whether it’s a sequel you’ve been waiting forever for, a new scary thriller, or something that just looks amazing, some movies grab your attention right away. For me I am extremely excited to...

Apparently, it's time for Star Wars to put on a spooky mask and try horror. Because after galaxy-spanning civil wars, morally bankrupt trade federations, and an increasingly confused timeline of Jedi trauma, the next logical step is Force ghosts that scare people. According to Andor showrunner...

It's an question as old as time itself. Which of the two major sci-fi franchises is the best? Not, which do you prefer, but which is the best? One is space fantasy. The other leans heavily into science fiction. One’s about war, destiny, and space wizards. The other’s diplomacy, exploration, and...

SCRAP and 213℉ have announced DO NOT PLAY, a point-and-click psychological horror game coming to Steam next year. It’s built to mimic early 2000s Flash games: basic browser puzzles like spot-the-difference, drag-and-drop, hit the moving target. No jump scares (yet), but the tone leans heavily...

Is it a cliché to say that Hideo Kajima's games are 'genre-defying'? It's certainly true of Death Stranding, the game that's not a stealth game, not a shooter, and not a sim. Genre-defying is what people reach for when they know the game doesn’t slot neatly into anything. In Death Stranding 2...

After 13 years of nothing, there’s a rumour that Prototype 3 is in the works. And yes, Alex Mercer might be back in the lead. According to an apparent Activision 'study group' leak, the game’s set in New York again, with Mercer gaining the ability to transform into people to infiltrate areas...

I hate Quick Time events. "Mash X to stay alive." No skill, no finesse, just hammering away at the buttons until the event is over. I often think of it as lazy game design and that there must be a better way to present an event such as this. In the God of War series every boss fight ended with...

After a short Xbox and PC exclusivity window, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now out on PS5. If you held off, you're getting the full package: upgraded visuals, DualSense support, and a solid 60FPS across the board. The game sits somewhere between Wolfenstein and Uncharted, but with a...

This one has been on my radar for a very long time and it's finally getting released on April 24th and I can't wait. Just in time for the Easter long weekend - so you can guess what I'll be doing. I've played the demo, and recently got a chance to interview the game designer - Brandon...

Anoxia Station is a mining management game set in a dystopian near-past. A supervolcanic eruption devastated the Earth’s surface, rendering it uninhabitable. Nations now teeter on the brink of extinction relying on the Terranauts - miners sent into the hellish depths of this dying world-. Their...
