Discoveries
At Polygon, we want to introduce you do at least one thing we think youd love every single day. With so many games, movies, shows, and and internet-based quick bites (or quibis) out there to experience, we know its next to impossible to decide how to take a chance on the untested, dive into the unknown. But allow us to give you that nudge. In our Discoveries feed, you will find impressions on everything we cover and recommendations on old stuff that feels just as urgent and worthy as the new. The hope: less thinking, more doing just dig in.Love the gorgeously animated cat movie Flow?
