What truly separates successful sci-fi movies like Alien: Romulus from those that fail, such as Tron: Ares, isn’t just a popular franchise. Both films came from well-known series, but only Romulus resonated with audiences. The 2020s have been a great time for science fiction fans, with many new films released annually, though the quality of the writing varies considerably between them.
Many gamers remember the intense rivalry between Xbox and PlayStation in the mid-2000s and 2010s, with each generation – like the Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3, Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S vs. PlayStation 5 – pushing developers to innovate and fans to pick sides. However, the future looks less competitive, as Xbox is now prioritizing releasing games on multiple platforms, a strategy consistently emphasized by Craig Duncan at Xbox Game Studios.
Honestly, watching Deku fight, it’s become hilariously clear his true Quirk is just being unbelievably lucky! It’s not a shock, though – he’s always been the underdog, constantly needing to level up, and thrown into battles against people who should crush him. On paper, some of those opponents had everything to win – better Quirks, smarter strategies, even just being physically stronger. But every single time, Deku pulls through with some crazy, unexpected save. Seriously, anyone else in his shoes would have been finished, but he always manages to escape! It’s wild.

PlayStation Plus hasn’t had the best start to the year. While the Extra and Premium tiers received some good new games this month, subscribers were largely disappointed with the free games offered in January 2026, especially considering how strong the December 2025 selection was. Last December’s lineup included popular titles like LEGO Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, and Neon White. January’s games – Need for Speed Unbound, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper – are all decent, but don’t quite measure up to the five games offered the previous month.
Wood is a classic building material in survival games, and Hytale offers a wide variety of wood types to choose from. You can build your home with anything from oak to birch, letting you customize your creations.
Some characters received significant screen time but haven’t yet justified their presence in the story. While they still have opportunities to develop in future storylines, they currently feel like underutilized additions to the Elbaf arc, failing to make a lasting impression.

You can get these spellbooks by defeating Skeleton Praetorians – the big, tough undead enemies found in Zone 4. We’ve noticed they don’t appear very often across the whole zone, but they tend to show up more frequently in the ashy areas, like the one pictured above.
Both of those games feature interesting worlds, but what truly makes them special isn’t just the settings themselves. These open-world games stand out because they offer so many different ways to explore, often overshadowing even their combat. The combat isn’t necessarily weak, it’s just that players are more likely to remember the joy of discovering and wandering through the game world long after they’ve finished the story.
