While huge, sprawling games can be amazing, they aren’t for everyone. Many players want an open world they can finish without having to dedicate weeks of their lives to it. They still want the freedom to explore and feel immersed, but without being overwhelmed by a massive time commitment. That’s why shorter open-world games are becoming popular. These games offer a complete open-world experience that can be enjoyed and finished in under 20 hours, proving that a game doesn’t need to be endlessly long to be fun and memorable.

I recently discovered rakugo, a traditional Japanese comedy that’s been around since the late 1700s. It’s often performed in special theaters, and people describe it as a one-person show – almost like a sitcom where the performer plays every single character! These rakugo artists are incredibly skilled; they only use a paper fan, a small cloth, and their voice to keep the audience entertained. It takes a lot of work to become a well-known rakugo performer, and one of the most interesting shows this season follows a determined young woman trying to make her dream come true.

In Crimson Desert, the Forgotten Altar is a key puzzle, largely because it’s located on the route to the game’s final boss. Unlike many other Abyss puzzles, it appears this one is required to progress.

Frog Squad is the first game from Panic Stations, a UK-based studio launched in late 2025. The studio was founded by developers who previously worked on the popular 2020 battle royale game, Fall Guys. Panic Stations is part of Skeleton Crew, a group of developers that focuses on making smaller, innovative games.

Many fan-favorite Pokémon movies, including installments like Pokémon 3, The Rise of Darkrai, and Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, were released before 2010. Although the animation quality improved in the 2010s, that decade also saw some of the lowest-rated Pokémon films. However, a few standout movies from the 2010s were better than most films from that era, and even surpassed some of the older, classic Pokémon movies.
