Invincible season 4 wrapped on April 22, and the finale left plenty of big questions for season 5 to answer.

Titanium Court review: ingenious genre mash-up mixes Candy Crush and Civlization

Let’s take a step back: Video games are fucking complicated. Those of us who have been playing them for decades often take for granted how even the medium’s most basic concepts can sound like gibberish to the average person. I’m not even talking about the real goofy jargon like Metroidvania or Soulslike ; stop someone on the street and ask them what a strategy game is. Challenge your Candy Crush -obsessed mom to define the word platformer. Make your grandfather figure out what RPG stands for and watch him vaporize instantly. The impenetrable gibberish extends beyond the words we use to classify games; the design language of any given game, born from decades of iteration that goes countless layers deep, can be just as difficult to parse for newcomers. Hell, I have been writing about video games for two decades, and I would piss my pants if you asked me to hold my own in a MOBA. source https://www.polygon.com/titanium-court-review/
