Spritz the Happy Onion

The Hawk review: Will Ferrell has given us so many funny characters; this Netflix series does not feature one of them.

In an age where single-player first-person shooters are slowly going extinct because they only make money for their publisher once while multiplayer live-service shooters vie for our time and attention on a daily basis (and often contain lots of bullsh*t, like microtransactions and/or drawn-out gameplay loops), Metro 2039’s single-player-only craftsmanship and attention to detail after my first few hours with it have me already prepared to call it my favorite first-person shooter in a long time.

Showa American Story succeeds in crafting an unforgettable, eccentric B-movie world. However, its deliberate jank and niche style mean its general polish still lags behind other modern AAA action games at this point. The sheer density of cultural parodies is impressive, but whether the game can sustain this tone over a dozens-of-hours-long campaign without exhausting players remains to be seen. Coupled with its current shortcomings in combat depth and mechanical feel, Showa American Story is shaping up to be an incredibly unique, highly flawed, yet undeniably fascinating ride.

The Blood of Dawnwalker console footage has shown off the game's graphical modes available at launch, but none will hit 60fps.

Hulu’s 2025 revival of King of the Hill delivers a profound and relatable Season 15, expertly weaving in callbacks while answering long-held questions from the 16-year hiatus.
