This article contains spoilers for Invincible season 3 episode 7 and The Walking Dead.The penultimate episode of Invincible season 3 just set up one of the biggest showdowns from the comics. After Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) and the heroes of Earth face off in a deadly battle against Angstrom Levy (Sterling K. Brown) and his army of Evil Invincibles from across the multiverse, the true final villain of the season appears. The Viltrumite, Conquest, has arrived on Earth to confront Mark about his failure to prepare the planet for a takeover by the Viltrum Empire.While well have to wait until next week to see this big fight go down, Conquests appearance didnt just set up an epic battle in the world of Invincible. We now know that the Viltrumite villain is voiced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, an actor that starred alongside Steven Yeun in The Walking Dead. InThis isnt the first time that Invincible has reunited Walking Dead alumni in the series, which makes sense given that both shows are based on comics written by Robert Kirkman. Khary Payton, who played King Ezekiel in TWD, voices Black Samson, one of the Guardians of the Globe. Ross Marquand (Aaron in TWD) voices Immortal, Rudy, and a number of other characters in the series. Lennie James (Morgan Jones in TWD) voices Darkwing. Green Ghost is voiced by Sonequa Martin-Green, who played Sasha Williams in TWD. War Woman is voiced by Lauren Cohan, who fans will recognize as Maggie from TWD. Chad L. Coleman (Tyreese Williams in TWD) and Michael Cudlitz (Abraham Ford in TWD) are also in the cast.

Jack Kirbys influence on comics culture is undeniable. Its not an understatement to say that he is responsible for much, if not all, of the comics language we read when we look at superhero comics.Even now, 30 years after he passed, we still fawn over his creations, whether its when his characters hit the big screen (as with Fantastic Four) or when a new story with his characters are stocked in comic book shops (as with Ram V and Evan Cagles brilliant New Gods comic). But a new documentary announced this week seeks to place him alongside titans of art and pop culture from the 20th century.Ricki Stern, the Emmy-nominated director of documentaries like Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work and Reversing Roe will direct Kirbyvision. Jack was not only one of the great comic book artists of all time, but a true visionary genius, Stern said in a statement. In this new feature length documentary, we actively campaign for the recognition he finally deserves as a leading artist and storyteller of the 20th Century.The film has backing from Dan Braun and Josh Braun from Submarine Entertainment, producers of two of the nominees for Best Documentary at the Oscars, and more importantly, has the support of the Kirby Estate behind it, lending prestige and authority to the production. It also, in the interest of full disclosure, has Den of Geek Chief Creative Officer Chris Longo and former Den of Geek Editor-in-Chief Mike Cecchini onboard producing.If Im able to editorialize a bit, its about time. When you think about the titans of the comics industry, even if you include writers, its hard to think of anyone whose impact inside comics matches Kirby, and its impossible to come up with a name that matches him outside comics.Kirby was so creative that the comics page literally could not contain it. He wrote and drew the most popular books in the medium at a time when the art form was at its peak, the kind of work that fine art scholars went back and studied for years. The mixed media pages in his Fourth World books are staggering hypnotic and disturbing, and clearly the product of someone who sees a whole different world when he looks at a blank sheet of Bristol board.At the same time, theres more to Kirby than just his contributions to the art world. The best biographies are always about something other than the subject. Kirbys story is about a man with boundless creativity who defined an artistic medium, but its also the story of Americas shift to a global power and the development of the middle class. Kirby was born dirt poor and drew his way out of poverty. He was so passionate about the ideals of his country that he co-created the avatar of what it could be at its best, and then lived that at both ends of his career, first as a scout in Europe in World War II, sneaking behind enemy lines and drawing recon maps; and later lending old concept art to the CIA to get Americans out of Iran during the hostage crisis. He created a whole mythology that reflected the best American ideals standing up for people who need help, stories that were explicitly anti-fascist and anti-war in a medium that was cheap and easy to share with the world, projecting those values to kids around the world.At a time when we are retreating from our responsibilities and violating those ideals, a story like this is critical to show us the way back.

My clients are so extra... they wanted everything in their house to be yellowthe kitchen, the trim, Amber Lewis says of her friends turned clients and their vision for transforming a 19th-century former ship captains home into everybodys summer house on Marthas Vineyard. I was like, Nope! Well get in color, but in a way that makes sense. The owner of lifestyle brand Biscuit Home, Bailey McCarthy, and her husband, Pete, appreciated Lewiss perspective. They asked her to combine her relaxed-but-refined style with Baileys over-the-top flair. (This is a woman who hosts a Pink Poodle Party starring her rose-tinted dog every year.) Lewis had sworn never to work with friends but made an exception for the McCarthys, in part because the whole house was a jumbled mess. Before she could debate the couples color choices, she needed to bring order to the chaos. We figured if we could create one long space, like a hotel lobby, we could have more funky rooms off of it, Lewis explains. Proving that compromise is the key to any good partnership, their friendship is still intact. We now know how we work, Lewis says. We could totally do this again!FAST FACTSDesigner: Location: I wanted to make my friends home the coolest house ever.MOVIE ROOMA tented ceiling brings the glamour.Shade DeggesRug: Marc Phillips.

A series of window treatments in a slubby floral linen and handwoven striped fabric by Guy Goodfellow Collection tie the room together, while lightweight chairs simplify the seating. Every single one can be picked up by a person, young and old alike, Lewis says.TV ROOMIts color drenched in a calming mossy green.Shade DeggesShade DeggesI love this green.

She expressed how she always wanted to do one of their signature pavilions, and Marthas Vineyard was the perfect space for it. Shade DeggesThe cabana was cleverly fabricated in rust-proof metal and finished in a sunny stripe, giving McCarthy her desired in-your-face color (she really wanted green and yellow stripes, but Lewis nixed that).

Whether youre a heavy user of Apple Notes or not, you may have missed that iOS 18 introduced a new feature designed to take lots of the work out of note-taking. Thanks to the addition of audio recordings, bolstered by transcripts and summaries, Apple Notes makes it easier than ever to capture notes on your iPhone, iPad, and more.Audio recordings with transcripts means Apple Notes does the work for youApple Notes has grown tremendously powerful over the years.At one point the Notes app only offered some basic text editing functionality, and not much else. But with more frequent updates its become a versatile, feature-packed powerhouse.Theres one iOS 18 feature in particular thats proven tremendously useful, despite Apple not surfacing it very prominently in the app.Inside a note, if you hit the attachment button in the toolbar, youll see a new Record Audio option.This offers a convenient way to start recording a meeting, lecture, or maybe even your own dictation.Once its complete, the recording lives in-line inside a note alongside other text, photos, sketches, and other content.But where this audio feature really shines is with its support for transcription.In iOS 18, Apple Notes can automatically provide a transcript of your recordingeven doing live transcription while the recordings in progress.It gets better though. If you have an AI-compatible device, youll also get an Apple Intelligence summary of the transcripts contents for your convenience.Essentially, Apple Notes now does all the work of note-taking for you.it records audio of whatever meeting or class youre init creates a transcript you can return to laterand it provides a summary of that transcriptThe days of typing furiously to capture all the notes of a meeting are over.Have you used audio recordings in Apple Notes?

This is Rumor Replay, a weekly column at 9to5Mac offering a quick rundown of the most recent Apple product rumors, with analysis and commentary. Today: big developments with Apples first foldable iPhone, plus iOS 19 and Siri rumors. Here are this weeks latest Apple rumors.Ming-Chi Kuo on Apples first foldable iPhoneMing-Chi Kuo, an analyst with sources in the supply chain, has shared his predictions for Apples first foldable iPhone coming in 2026.Heres an overview of what he expects:Book-style design, not the top-down fold previously reported5.5-inch outer display and 7.8-inch inner displayTouch ID in the side button, likely with no Face IDRetail price above $2,000 and $2,500No visible crease or wrinkles from the fold9-9.5mm thick when folded, and only 4.5-4.8mm unfoldedHinge that uses stainless steel and titanium, with casing thats titaniumKuo believes that only about 3-5 million units of the foldable iPhone will ship in 2026. Not for lack of demand, but rather due to production complexities limiting capacity.My takeawaysOne important thing to keep in mind is that Kuo isnt necessarily reporting these as exact details of the foldable iPhone. Rather, hes sharing his predictions and expectations based on what he currently knows.Thats relevant, for example, because while details like the screen size and thickness of the device seem right up his alley of supply chain details, the pricing guess is just that: a guess.That said, this is a fascinating rundown of what might be coming to the foldable iPhone nonetheless.I was intrigued by previous reports that the iPhone would have a top-down fold design. But I didnt necessarily see that offering much value. A book-style fold makes a lot more sense to me. And as a long-time fan of the iPad mini, the chance to get a mini-style tablet built into my pocketable iPhone is very compelling.Lots can still change between now and the expected fall 2026 launch of the foldable iPhone, but these rumors certainly stoked my interest.iOS 19 and Siri updatesOver the weekend, Mark Gurman provided updates on iOS 19s development and a potential delay for select Siri upgrades.Gurman says that the LLM version of Siri is still on track to launch as part of iOS 19, though likely near the end of the release cycle in spring 2026. A key aspect of Siris upgrades, though, is reportedly behind schedule.The more conversational, chatbot-style Siri functionalities in the works will apparently no longer be unveiled as part of iOS 19 this June at WWDC. Instead, theyre expected to slip into iOS 20 next year.My takeawaysIts clear that OpenAI and other competitors have gotten ahead of Apple in the LLM-based assistant race. But that issue aside, I think Gurmans reported Siri delays are being overstated by a lot of people.Apples approach with its new era for Siri has been to gradually offer new improvements over time. It sounds like thats just going to keep happening not only in iOS 18.5 soon, but also iOS 19 and 20.Siri has a giant user base today, so its unsurprising that Apple wont radically change everything about it all at once. While getting too far behind competition is a legitimate concern, its also potentially overblown because of Apples ecosystem and hardware advantages.What are your takeaways from this weeks Apple rumors about the foldable iPhone and more?

Not only is it a rough time to be a Tesla owner as CEO Elon Musks political shenanigans sink the brands reputation its becoming a bad time to be near a Tesla, period.Earlier this week, arsonists in Southwest France took to the streets with gasoline in hand to torch Teslas parked at a store in Plaisance-du-Touche. The group destroyed at least a dozen Tesla sedans estimated to be worth around 700,000, or about $745,000 USD, callingthe brand a "symbol of capitalism."The inferno comes weeks after a French-Swiss manifesto surfaced online, calling for "anti-capitalist coordination to target Tesla.""To all those whose health permits," pines the anonymous call to action, "to collectives, organizations, affinity groups, to all those who call themselves anti-capitalists, to all those who demonstrate against imperialism, to deterritorialized people, let us warm ourselves by the fire. This is a call to set fire to Tesla dealerships."While its unknown if the French arsonists were inspired by the manifesto, the blaze comes at a time when protestors around the world are targeting Teslas as a proxy for Musk, who represents a noxious blend of government austerity, oligarchy,andright wing politics of all stripes,not to mention capitalism more broadly.The manifesto takes aim at a variety of issues embodied by Tesla under the blanket of anti-capitalism, including resource extraction, car-centric urban planning, the patriarchy, environmental waste, right-wing extremism, and undemocratic corporate rule."This company fuels the fortune of the richest man in the world, openly fascist and neo-Nazi, and therefore empowers [far right extremists]," reads the screed. "We know that the fight is unfair, but we are fierce and will not give up! Each brick in their windows is a stone in the pond."That doesn't mean it's open season; the manifesto also entreats protestors to avoid Tesla locations in residential areas, as well as physical violence and privately-owned vehicles.Though the people of France are well-known for their rowdyand effectivedemonstrations, Americans have also joined the fray. Yesterday, a handful of Tesla chargers in Massachusetts were hit by what cops are calling "intentionally set"fires. In Denver, Colorado, a woman is facing federal charges for allegedly causing $5,000 worth of damage at a Tesla dealership with molotov cocktails.And even earlier in California, a group of anti-fascist students warned Tesla owners with notes wrapped around bricks to sell off their EVs, or face vandalism.Time will tell how far anti-Musk protestors take their rage, as the man himself shows no signs of slowing down his antics anytime soon.If there's one thing that'll catch his attention, though, it's any real hit to his bottom line.More on Tesla protests: Tesla Drivers Overcome With Shame by ProtestersShare This Article

For years now, experts have been warning that AI automation could lead to huge numbers of people losing their jobs.Whether those fears will come to fruition is still a matter of debate as even the most advanced AI continues to struggle with persistent issues around accuracy and reasoning.But what's becoming increasingly clear is that, among tech leaders, thevision for the industry is that it will displace large numbers of workers a prospect we're already seeing hints of as tech giants invest heavily in the tech while laying off thousands.A related ideology is on display as Donald Trump megadonor Elon Musk has been ransacking the federal government, laying off thousands of workers.Add it all up, and representative Bernie Sanders (D-VT)is warning that the rise of AI combined with Musk's despotic management style could result in a toxic attack on workers that remakes society around the interests of billionaires."Think about it for a moment," Sanders said in a video response to Trump's Congressional address on Tuesday night. "If Musk and his friends can arbitrarily throw federal workers out on the street today, what do you think that Musk and his fellow billionaires will be doing tomorrow when artificial intelligence and robotics explode in this country?""Do you think they'll give a damn about you and your families?" he added. "No, they will treat you exactly the way they're treating federal employees today. You will be out on the street as well."According to the latest numbers, the US labor market is in dire straits. Employers announced over 172,000 layoffs last month, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas the highest level in almost five years. A third of those layoffs came directly from DOGE.The forecast is grim. Total job losses are expected to top half a million people by the end of 2025, as Bloomberg reports, which could have catastrophic effects on the economy as a whole.Such a big wave in unemployment could have disastrous effects on the economy,and the reality is that AI has barely started to scratch the surface of the outsize promises of its boosters.Sanders' comments resonate, in other words. The vindictiveness with which Musk has been plundering federal agencies has closely resembled the way he treats workers at his own businesses as well, where he's garnered a reputation for being a "horrible boss" who incessantlycracks the whip, forces his workers to sleep on the factory floor, and threatens them with firing if they don't work overtime.Even the AI part isn't a stretch. Musk's DOGE has already started applying AI tools to analyze government spending and fed highly sensitive data extracted from the Education Department into a similar system.So it's alarming to think of that dictatorial philosophy spreading even further at the exact moment that the capabilities of AI are coming in strong.Share This Article

Over four years after its release,Sony's PlayStation 5has bested Microsoft's Xbox to dominate this console generation. If you want a plug-and-play experience with the latest games, PS5 is a fantastic choice.The PS5 introduced several tech advancements over its predecessor, from the extra functionality you get from the DualSense controller's advanced haptics and triggers to instant load times with its solid-state storage. While initially lampooned for its large size, Sony released Slim versions of its disc-using and disc-less console models in 2023, and then a more powerful (and pricier) PS5 Pro in late 2024.But the PS5's biggest appeal is its lengthy catalog of exclusive and cross-platform games spanning multiple genres. Sony has leveraged its intellectual property to create everything from the gritty narratives of God of War: Ragnarok and The Last of Us Part II to the colorful nostalgic platforming Astro Bot. While some instant classics like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth eventually come to other platforms, they debut on PS5 first and remain exclusive for months or years. Ultimately, there's something for everyone on the PS5.We've curated this list of the best Sony PlayStation 5 games you can buy right now, including some stellar titles that showed up on CNET's 2024 Game of the Year list. Sony Astro Bot Astro Bot is one of the best PlayStation games in years like concentrated joy coming back from a simpler time in gaming's past. It's a whimsical tour de force of unfettered creativity, essentially Sony's equivalent of iconic Nintendo 3D platformers like Super Mario 64 or Galaxy. Astro Bot is a love letter to every Sony game, with references and cameos to PlayStation games and hardware stretching back to before some gamers (including this writer) were born.Astro Bot isn't just a nostalgic cash grab dropping dozens of member berries and phoning it in. It's a game where every level is a mechanical and visual triumph, with power-ups that allow players to float like a balloon, bullet dash, spring punch, climb like a monkey, blast like a rocket, stop time and shrink down to the size of a mouse, each one changing how you engage with the collectible bots and puzzle pieces.This game also makes full use of the DualSense controllers -- different levels take advantage of the gyro capabilities and even have you blowing into the controller to spin pinwheels to create gusts of wind. When you succeed in your task and make it to the end of the level? You best believe you're going to be serenaded with hundreds of acorns, gold coins, snowballs or whatever bauble fits the level's theme, just because the game wants to remind you that it can handle dropping all those beautiful physics objects in front of you at once.Astro Bot is a unique and laudable PlayStation experience, made possible only through a combination of Sony's cultural currency and the PlayStation 5's hardware. It's a must-have game for the console.Release date: Sept. 6, 2024Genre: 3D platformerDeveloper: Team Asobi-Tyler Graham, associate writer Hazelight Studios Split Fiction is the latest two-players-only game coming from Hazelight Studios, which has built a reputation of similarly novel couch or online co-op titles, like the award-winning It Takes Two. The new game is a cavalcade of fun action and puzzle sequences that don't overstay their welcome, switching up mechanics and set pieces to keep the game flowing.Players control either Mio or Zoe, two fiction writers lured to an evil corporation attempting to steal all their ideas, which they must play through to escape. The game alternates between these, throwing players from a cyberpunk science fiction story to a cozy fantasy and back again every hour or so, with enough whimsical side stories to break up the flow and ensure there's always something new around the corner. With a light story in the background, and as Mio and Zoe go from strangers to friends in a tightly-tuned cooperative gameplay, Split Fiction is a great pick for pals or partners looking for a polished game they can play together -- so long as the occasionally difficult bits don't wear you down.Read our Split Fiction review.Release date:March 6, 2025Genre: Co-op action platformerDeveloper: Hazelight Studios-- David Lumb, Senior Mobile Reporter See at Amazon Capcom Monster Hunter Wilds Hunt big monsters yourself or with friends across deserts, forests and more. Capcom's celebrated Monster Hunter series blew into the mainstream with 2018's Monster Hunter: World, and the newest version brings a great mix of old and new. Monster Hunter Wilds starts out feeling like an expansion to its predecessor, but it's quickly apparent how much the game has been improved for the PS5: open world between camps and hunting areas, instant load times, herd behaviors, monster-on-monster clashes and the sharpest graphics yet.The story starts with the titular Monster Hunter, the player, accompanying a hunter's guild expedition to a far-off land thought uninhabitable to people -- but with a former native in tow, looking to connect with the tribes who live there. Of course, they'll need to fight their way through plenty of monsters and other beasts to do so, bringing the game's 14 weapons to bear -- all of which get new movesets and mechanics in the game. A big game with plenty of brawls with new and unique beasts, Monster Hunter Wilds is the best of the series.Read our starter guide 7 Tips When Starting Monster Hunter Wilds.Release date: February 28, 2025Genre: Boss battle fantasy actionDeveloper: Capcom-- David Lumb Sony God of War: Ragnark Santa Monica Studios' God of War: Ragnark, released in November 2022, continues the titular god Kratos' epic dad adventure through lands inspired by Norse mythology -- and clashing with the Nordic gods themselves -- while raising his son Atreus. The sequel to the 2018 God of War, which served as a soft reboot of the classic series, has been lauded for its voice acting, lush graphics and tight combat, but it's the narrative that sets the game apart from other AAA action games.Ragnark picks up where God of War left off as Kratos' killing of the Aesir god Baldur triggers the leadup to the mythical realms-wide, age-ending titular battle. With more weapons, enemies, bosses and gameplay featuring slices playing as Atreus, Ragnark improves on everything from the first game. There's even a free DLC, Valhalla, serving as a narrative epilogue to the Norse chapter in the war god's story. For a cinematic adventure of epic scale, God of War: Ragnark is hard to top.Read our God of War: Ragnark review.Release date: Nov. 9, 2022Genre: Narrative-driven hack and slash adventureDeveloper: Santa Monica Studio-David Lumb $45 at Amazon Guerrilla Games Horizon Forbidden West Another great sequel of a fan-favorite game, Horizon Forbidden West is Guerrilla Games' sequel to the 2017 smash hit Horizon Zero Dawn. Forbidden West, which came out in February 2022, follows Aloy's quest to find a cure for a plague in a post-post-apocalyptic world, where sentient beast-like machines roam the land while tribes of surviving humans unravel the mysteries of fallen civilizations.As an open-world game, Forbidden West builds on its predecessor with more areas to explore, underwater sections to investigate, weapons to find and skills to master. Guerrilla Games expanded production of the sequel with more emphasis on story cinematics, with a star-studded cast led by Ashly Burch and the dearly missed Lance Reddick, as well as the talents of Angela Bassett and Carrie-Anne Moss in new roles. The sprawling game is further expanded in the DLC, Burning Shores, that explores even more of what happened in the past -- and the course of the world's future.For a big adventure promising dozens of hours of gameplay in an open world, Horizon Forbidden West is a great choice.Read our Horizon Forbidden West review.Release date: Feb. 18, 2022Genre:Post-post-apocalyptic open world action-adventureDeveloper: Guerrilla Games-David Lumb See at Amazon Naughty Dog The Last of Us 2: Remastered The Last of Us 2, the long-awaited sequel to the post-apocalyptic zombie game from Naughty Dog, first came out in 2020 on last-gen consoles to enormous critical and cultural acclaim (if eerie timing during a pandemic). Only a few years later, the studio released a remastered version for PS5 in January 2024. The graphical gains aren't significant, but having a definitive edition for current-gen consoles is helpful for players to pick up and experience, and there are several extras like No Return (a roguelike zombie survival mode) and the unfinished Lost Levels not found in the original game.Where the original The Last of Us was a story about grief and the (very bloody) lengths taken to start anew after the apocalypse, The Last of Us 2 is a story of consequence and the (very bloody) lengths taken for revenge. As you'd expect of developer Naughty Dog, this is a beautiful, laboriously crafted story unlike pretty much anything else in gaming, and The Last of Us 2 Remastered is the best way to play it. Worth a place on anyone's shelf, but don't expect to come out of it unscathed.Read our The Last of Us 2 review.Release date: Jan. 19, 2024Genre: Narrative-driven post-apocalyptic third-person shooterDeveloper: Naughty Dog- David Lumb Screenshot by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper/CNET Fortnite A couple of years ago, I would have described the free-to-play shooter Fortnite as the premier battle royale game, but that's no longer a sufficient description. Fortnite is like the final boss of live-service games because it isn't simply a game anymore: It's a platform for what feels like seemingly endless games.Hey, maybe you enjoy the fast-paced, zany battle royale experience that normal Fortnite offers you, but you don't like building? Fortnite: Zero Build remedies that, allowing me to drop into a more traditional battle royale experience. There are even more "out there" game modes. Are you a fan of Guitar Hero? Fortnite Festival wants to help you get your rhythm fix, allowing players to jam out to a constantly updating library of music. Do you enjoy building, but you're not so big on battle royales? Lego Fortnite offers an entire blocky open world to gallivant across.Even if you prefer classic battle royale, there are always new events to shake it up: One day a sandstorm is reshaping the entire island, and the next Marvel's Dr. Doom is building his empire within the playable arena. New player skins of fictional characters and real celebrities are added all the time. This is a game that both shapes and is shaped by popular culture, and you get to be in the middle of it all.Release date: July 21, 2017Genre: Battle royale, rhythm, survival builder and moreDeveloper: Epic Games-Tyler Graham Sucker Punch Productions Ghost of Tsushima Games make the most of a revenge narrative, which is why it's so enthralling to step into Jin Sakai's shoes as he becomes "the Ghost" of Tsushima, enacting his vengeance with sword in shadow.The game, which was rereleased in a Director's Cut version for PS5 in August 2021, tells a story about a hero -- and a legend -- that emerged during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. You're forced to walk in two worlds as you alternate between stealthy takedowns and intense sword fights, including epic samurai duels.All that violence occurs in a beautiful game: There are peaceful, reflective moments too, ones where you'll recite haikus in the hot springs or ride your horse through fields surrounded by beautiful white plum blossom trees. It's no surprise the game has a built-in photo mode and the option to turn off the HUD altogether.No matter how you slice it, the conflict between the enemy-stalking Ghost and honorable Jin Sakai is an example of Sony's commitment to premium storytelling, and Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most cinematic games under the PlayStation banner.Read our Ghost of Tsushima review.Release date: July 17, 2020Genre: Stealthy open world action-adventureDeveloper: Sucker Punch Productions-Tyler Graham See at Playstation Square Enix Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Among my group of friends, I'm the notorious side-quest hater. I almost never do them because they feel like tedious busy work that slows down the game for minimal reward. Let me tell you, when I got to the first open area of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth when it was released in February 2024, I finished every single quest in that area. The game just felt immediately inviting. Rebirth takes everything about the first remake installment and expands it -- more characters, more quests, more freedom, more minigames (hello, Queen's Blood obsession). There's a freedom and fluidity in the game that I never quite felt with the previous installment, Final Fantasy VII Remakenor the Intergrade DLC, including upgrades to combat such as synergy skills and abilities, which make the fights feel even more dynamic by allowing you greater creativity. I expected to enjoy the next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, but even I wasn't prepared for a game that felt so thorough, fun and welcoming.Read our Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth review.Release date: Feb. 29, 2024Genre: Tactical JRPG action-adventureDeveloper: Square Enix-Adam Benjamin, managing editor See at Amazon Larian Studios Baldur's Gate 3 I love Baldur's Gate 3 so much, I have multiple save files because I keep dragging friends into it. It was an easy sell for me, a D&D player who grew up with BioWare RPGs, but I'm still impressed by how much Larian Studios managed to do with this game -- it's stunning in its visuals, storytelling and customization. On the PS5 version, which came out in September 2023, it's easy to start a game with a friend or three, letting you explore the realm together, while still allowing each person a degree of freedom in how they want to do that. Play as one of the Origin characters or create your own custom character, whether that's a tough dragonborn monk or a cotton-candy-haired elf sorcerer. Make choices that affect the story, roll for outcomes, use inspiration to reroll bad outcomes and eventually load a previous save when you continue to roll poorly. In all seriousness, part of the fun of the game is discovering what mechanics you enjoy -- whether that's speaking, sneaking or summoning -- and building out your character to be progressively better at those things as the game goes on. You can save villages, loot dungeons and face off against champions of the gods... or you can destroy villages, plunder cities and threaten people into worshipping you. Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the best games, full stop, and it's essential for any PS5 collection.Read our Baldur's Gate 3 review.Release date: Aug. 3, 2023Genre: Dungeons & Dragons isometric RPGDeveloper: Larian Studios-Adam Benjamin See at Sony Insomniac Spider-Man 2 Insomniac's first go at Marvel's iconic webhead in 2018 was a solid outing, with an enthralling story pulled together by Peter Parker's personal ties to villains Mr. Negative and Otto Octavius, who challenge both the hero and the human. Spider-Man 2, which came out in October 2023, featured iconic foe Kraven the Hunter who raised the stakes and proved truly dangerous as he hunted down other characters from the Spider-Man mythos, but the story takes a backseat to the gameplay this time around.Most of the new fun comes from the combat. Everyone knows Spider-Man pulls his punches; with great power comes great responsibility, after all. That's why it's a real treat to unlock more heavy-hitting moves as the Venom symbiote corrupts Peter over the course of the game. Combining familiar fighting moves with tendril attacks and a "rage mode" was a natural iteration that makes tangling with enemies more engaging. There are even tag team battles where Miles Morales or Peter Parker (depending on which Spider-Man you're currently playing) will randomly swing in to help lock down a fight.This might be the same New York City as the setting of the first game, but this time around it truly feels alive. There are new collectables to find, new crimes to stamp out and new ways to beat down the bad guys. When I'm swinging around as the most prolific superhero of all time, that's all I can possibly ask for.Release date: Oct. 20, 2023Genre: Open world action-adventureDeveloper: Insomniac Games-Tyler Graham Bluepoint Games Demon's Souls While there's seemingly always been a cultish fervor surrounding FromSoftware's Souls series, Elden Ring truly went mainstream, making these ARPGsmore approachable to a wider audience. Now, many gamers have started to turn toward FromSoftware's previous titles to get their next hit of dark fantasy. Certain recommendations I'd love to make (looking at you, Bloodborne) are trapped on older consoles. PS5 owners are lucky enough to have a chance to play Bluepoint Games' remake of the first ever Souls game that started the so-called Soulsborne game type: Demon's Souls.It was one of the launch titles for the PS5 when it was released in November 2020, but Demon's Souls remains visually stunning: This version of the game imbues iconic fights with new life, such as the desperate slugfest to take down the massive, gleaming Tower Knight. Fights don't move as quickly as they do in FromSoftware's more contemporary games, but it feels more rewarding to find and exploit a boss' true weakness. It's also worth playing the remake to experience old mechanics that never made a return -- such as world tendency, a karmic system creating a more dynamic world that reveals different items and NPCs.If Elden Ring sunk its hooks into you, and you wouldn't mind playing a slower, more tactical-feeling Souls game, the Demon's Souls remake is a must-play on the PS5.Release date: Nov. 12, 2020Genre: Brutally difficult ARPGDeveloper: Bluepoint Games-Tyler Graham Screenshot by CNET Helldivers 2 Now this is a game that goes down like a warm cup of liber-tea. Helldivers 2, released in February 2024, somehow fluctuates between being one of the greatest power fantasies I've ever played and making me feel like absolutely hopeless cannon fodder. One second I'll feel like an invincible super soldier (Master Chief has nothing on me) and the next I'm a puddle of viscera being chowed down on by some really big bugs.Yet Helldivers 2 always feels like a wholly cohesive experience, because as soon as I drop back into the thick of the fight in another hellpod, I'm riding the high of tearing through dozens of knockoff Terminators or killer space bugs all over again. It feels even better to drop into battle with a squad of friends, working in lockstep to secure objectives by calling down tactical airstrikes, heavy weapons, minefields and more -- until everyone gets blown up at the same time because your friend drops a 500-kilogram bomb at your feet.This game has the highest highs, but it also makes the lows feel like highs too. I'm either mowing down hundreds of Super Earth's enemies in glorious combat or getting turned into mincemeat by slapstick accidents with high-powered munitions. Either way, I'm always having a blast.Release date: Feb. 8, 2024Genre: Objective-based third-person horde shooterDeveloper: Arrowhead Game Studios-Tyler Graham Sony/Polyphony Digital Gran Turismo 7 After a long absence for the racing series, Gran Turismo 7 burst on the scene in March 2022 with the franchise's signature mix of realism and style. The first Gran Turismo on PS5 takes advantage of the console's high performance for quick loading via solid state drive, gorgeous graphics with ray tracing and haptic feedback in the DualSense controller.GT 7 leans into time and weather's effects on track conditions, rewarding players who tweak their car performance to account for rain, wind and other effects. The game features several racing modes, Championships and tracks returning from former games. For PS5 owners itching to get behind the wheel, Gran Turismo 7 is a great pick.Read our Gran Turismo 7 review.Release date: March 4, 2022Genre: Realistic racing game with arcade elementsDeveloper: Polyphony Digital- David Lumb $44 at Amazon Bandai Namco Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Elden Ring was a colossal success when it was released in February 2022, expanding the exacting and difficult combat of FromSoftware's Souls games to open-world gameplay. Players used hundreds of weapons against dozens of bosses across colossal continents that house many secret areas. If you wanted a big game that could take you hundreds of hours to experience everything, Elden Ring was it.FromSoftware released the Shadows of the Erdtree DLCin June 2024, adding a new region, 10 major bosses and over a hundred weapons that can be brought back into the main game. The combination of base game and DLC expand Elden Ring into the preeminent action RPG for players who don't mind a challenge and enjoy cryptic worlds of dark gods with many secrets.Release date: Feb. 25, 2022Genre: High fantasy ARPGDeveloper: FromSoftware-David Lumb
