Life is Strange: Reunion reviewed by Nick Maillet on Xbox Series X. Also available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
It’s not often the final game in a series, or in this case the ending chapter of the series’ two most important characters, sticks the landing quite like Life is Strange: Reunion. While it has some flaws in its overall pacing and could have used a little more time expanding on Max and Chloe’s lives post Arcadia Bay. It’s excellent writing, multiple gameplay styles, outstanding presentation, and return to form with the two characters that made the series so important for so many people over ten years ago. Life is Strange: Reunion is a fitting end to the decade-spanning Max and Chloe saga.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is finally here and we talked to Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination head Chris Meledandri about how the movies got made, how they got all of those awesome easter eggs in there, and why Miyamoto matters most.

Starfield’s incoming major update, Free Lanes, adds a swathe of new interplanetary content to the space sim that forgot to simulate space. And it’s a welcome, generous update along with the new Terran Armada DLC and an exciting new PS5 version. But let’s be clear: it doesn’t fundamentally change Starfield, or fix any of its perceived issues, because that very sense of immersion that makes Starfield a Bethesda game sits at the heart of why Creation Engine 3 is ill-suited to making a space game.
Could Free Lanes be Starfield 2.0, and give the game a new lease of life like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 have enjoyed? And what does it mean for The Elder Scrolls 6?
