Until that death, the first two-thirds of 10 Cloverfield Lane are a tense thriller where Michelle (and the viewer) tries like hell to figure out whether Goodman is lying or telling the truth. This is only further complicated by how strange and temperamental Howard acts towards Michelle, who he creepily treats as a surrogate daughter. Then again, the film’s title provides an unsubtle clue as to what may be happening above ground. source https://www.polygon.com/10-cloverfield-lane-screenwriters-interview-10th-anniversary/

Critical Role has never shied away from killing characters off — whether that be well-loved NPCs or members of the party itself. Campaign 4 is no exception, with the death of a significant character kicking off the events of the main plot in the very first episode. Only a few episodes later, a player character was brutally murdered — and after the latest Critical Role episode , we finally know why. source https://www.polygon.com/occtis-tachonis-alexander-ward-critical-role/

The Pokémon speak in Pokémon Pokopia . Usually, they're really cute and nice. Sometimes, they betray their very nature , or they're a little bit creepy or really quite sad . And sometimes, they're just silly and downright weird. If you’ve been waiting for years to hear what the Pocket Monsters have to say for themselves, now’s your lucky moment. While some of it’s exactly what you’d expect, other Pokémon are full of surprises. Read on to get filled in on some of the oddest dialogue we’ve stumbled across in Pokopia so far. source https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-pokopia-dialogue-weird/

During this year’s Game Developers Conference , Sandfall Interactive lifted the curtain on how it was able to create Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with a small team of programmers. The studio’s secret? The studio barely wrote any code of its own and heavily relied on pre-built Unreal Engine tools to create features. source https://www.polygon.com/clair-obscur-expedition-33-gdc-panel/

For its remake of the 2003 third-person horror classic, Koei Tecmo can’t shy away from its past either. The new version of Fatal Frame 2 resurrects a beloved but imperfect cult classic by staying true to its quirks and emphasizing its enduring horror. That faithful task is counterbalanced by a more radical reinvention that struggles to rewrite history convincingly. The tension makes for an uneven remake that’s too eager to hide from its past in the safe shadow of modernization. source https://www.polygon.com/fatal-frame-2-remake-impressions/

As a result, Microsoft has abandoned the last vestiges of console exclusivity for any of its games, even including Xbox stalwarts like Halo, Forza, and Gears of War. Exclusivity to Game Pass on day one took the place the consoles had once occupied. But that service seems to have hit its ceiling, long before it can pay for itself. Microsoft has finally solved the drought of first-party games that plagued it during the Xbox One era and the first years of the Xbox Series — but, ironically, it has nowhere useful to put all those games (other than on PC and PS5). source https://www.polygon.com/next-xbox-release-date-price-project-helix/
