It’s not often that a game makes me want to stay in the shadows, but when you’re playing as a 200-year-old goblin with a mouth as sharp as his dagger, the darkness is exactly where you want to be.

I’ve spent the last week skulking through the latest entry in the Styx saga, Styx: Blades of Greed, and I have some thoughts. First, a quick disclaimer: the publisher was kind enough to provide me with a review key for the Xbox version. However, I enjoyed my time with this foul-mouthed infiltrator so much that I ended up putting my own gold down for the Styx: Master of Stealth Collection just to support the developers’ excellent work.

The answer is a resounding yes.

Jurassic World Rebirth Review: Is It the Best Since the Original?

Let’s be honest: after the globetrotting, locust-filled spectacle of Dominion, many of us were ready to let the Jurassic franchise settle into a nice, quiet fossil bed. But Gareth Edwards stepped in, whispered “back to basics,” and gave us Jurassic World Rebirth.

The result? A film that feels less like a bloated corporate product and more like a high-stakes survival thriller. It’s not perfect, but it’s the most “Jurassic” this series has felt since the 90s.
