Destiny 2 launched in September to positive reviews from critics who felt that Bungie’s second space opera was a strong improvement over the first title. Most notably, the new installment of the Guardian’s tale features a well-thought-out story that engages players with the created world and its various populations and locales. Even without the updated graphics, new subclasses, and improved leveling system, the fact that Destiny 2 has an actual story places it parsecs beyond its 2014 predecessor....

Memes have become such a huge part of the digital world that it is difficult to imagine a time before they gained prominence. Admittedly, a handful of them are rather annoying and overused, but memes offer a unique and accessible way for fans to comment on their favorite shows. A few of the more creative ones not only deliver a zinger but manage to include genuine criticism of the subject matter....

Horizon Zero Dawn’s Frozen Wilds expansion unlocks a whole new section in the northern half of the map, on the Nora side of the world. It is Banuk territory, and it opens up a new main story quest alongside numerous side-quests. One of the more notable side quests is called Ikre’s Challenge. It’s essentially a test of how good of an archer Aloy truly is — with a limited amount of arrows in your inventory and a new ally at your side, you need to face some of the game’s more recognizable machines in a new environment....

Characters are the heart and soul of any memorable video game. Their voice, their mannerisms, and their appearance all synergize to bring what was once just an idea to life. But there’s another aspect, a mysterious quality, that certain characters have that appeals to us in a subconscious way. A study has shown that aesthetic diversity evolved through a need for individualism, but facial recognition plays an important part in social cognition....

For an ensemble piece about family and the pains it can endure, Carmen Ejogo’s Sarah is more than just the mother of an endangered den in It Comes at Night; she’s the key that makes these people blood relatives. So she has the most to lose whenever any of it spills. When the film begins, an unseen apocalypse has been muddled through for an unknown amount of time, but it’s certainly taken its toll on Ejogo and everyone left that matters in her life....

The PlayStation 4 will go down as one of the most successful video game consoles ever made. While its success can most easily be measured in sales figures (over 113 million units sold so far), most gamers will likely best remember the PS4 for its incredible library of games, which includes critically-acclaimed exclusives Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. In that same library, though, are a few games which some PS4 owners will ultimately remember differently than others....

Despite the reputation, mobile is not a platform exclusively made for low-effort cash grabs and slot machine-style gacha games. There are plenty of worthwhile experiences to have on mobile, but they tend to get buried under a pile of trash. For every ten greedy pieces of junk mobile games like Crash: On the Run, there’s an equally ambitious and valuable game like Monument Valley or Downwell. I wish I didn’t have to defend mobile as a legitimate gaming platform in 2021, but there’s just no way to deny that mobile well has been poisoned for a very long time....
