The Best Deals Today: Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy XVI, and More – IGN
I love it when a deals roundup feels like it has something for every kind of shopper, and today’s definitely hits that mark. Between a couple of epic PS5 games, a brand-new SteelBook from Studio Ghibli, a surprisingly steep discount on a Switch 2 accessory, and even a pantry staple for way less than usual,…
Final Fantasy Doesn’t Need Turn-Based Combat Back, It Needs Better Stories
There’s been an undercurrent of opinion, ever since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took audiences by surprise earlier this year, that the approach taken by the turn-based fantasy RPG is the cure for everything that ails Final Fantasy. It delivers an old-school take on the genre that’s much less flawed than both Final Fantasy XVI and…
Final Fantasy fans, now is the time to get into Magic: The Gathering
The Final Fantasy Magic: The Gathering set is here, and there’s never been a more perfect assemblage of Magic cards. The set features cards taken from every mainline Final Fantasy title, including the two MMOs, so there’s something for every generation of Final Fantasy lovers.

‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ review: Final Fantasy vibes and emotional maturity
Lately, AAA games have left me feeling a little uninspired. There’s a sameness to it all — big budgets, bigger expectations, and not a lot of heart. So when an AA game comes out of nowhere, clearly made out of a love for the game, it’s a real breath of fresh air. That game is…
Hatsune Miku’s first movie, now in theaters, requires some homework beforehand
I was barely five minutes into the new Hatsune Miku anime movie that hits theaters on April 17 when I realized I was definitely in over my head. I already knew that Colorful Stage!

Split Fiction’s Final Level Has To Be Seen To Be Believed
Split Fiction’s entire schtick is that it swaps back and forth between virtual recreations of its two leads’ stories. Mio, the angsty introvert of the duo, writes science fiction to cope with her difficult upbringing. Zoe, a bubbly fantasy writer, escapes into stories of dungeons and dragons to process her trauma. While playing Hazelight’s latest…
Split Fiction: The Kotaku Review
In the dozen or so hours a friend and I put into Split Fiction, the latest co-op game from It Takes Two developer Hazelight, it never seemed to run out of ideas. This latest release, with its marriage of fantasy and science fiction, still feels as fresh and inventive as It Takes Two and A…
The new Vox Machina book finally gives Shaun Gilmore his due — read an excerpt here
As soon as Random House revealed the table of contents for its short-story collection Critical Role: Vox Machina — Stories Untold (publishing March 4), I knew exactly which story I wanted to read first: Aabria Iyengar’s “Shaun,” about everybody’s favorite recurring NPC with a crush on a PC, Shaun Gilmore. I always felt like Shaun…
