Subnautica: Below Zero is the sequel to the beloved game Subnautica. It’s a game where you set up camp underwater and swim through the most beautiful scenery. At the same time, you’re on a mission to survive through everything that happens to you on your journey. While there may be similar games to Subnautica, nothing really comes close to what we get to experience by playing this game. In case you’ve missed your chance to do so or just want a reminder of the great memories or terrifying memories you’ve experienced, here’s the story for Subnautica: Below Zero....

Subnautica is a survival game that takes place in an ocean world, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the game’s core mechanic is all about finding resources and materials to craft different objects that will aid you in your adventures. From vehicles to underwater bases, there’s a lot you can craft in this game. One object that new players could overlook is the Alien Containment fishbowl, which is a large aquarium you can build inside your Seabase and fill it with Planet 4546B’s fauna (yes, even the aggressive ones)....

Finally revealed yesterday with a stunning teaser, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is officially the next game by Rocksteady. The developers of Arkham Asylum, City, and Knight, fans have been wondering for years what the team would move onto next, especially with the Arkham storyline not entirely wrapping up at the climax of the trilogy. As it turns out, fans jumping from the Arkham games to the next-generation take on the Suicide Squad will be in luck, with Rocksteady confirming during its panel at the DC FanDome that the new game will take place in the same universe as the Batman trilogy....

The next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate event is tied to one of Nintendo’s biggest systems of all time, as “Now You’re Playing With Portable Power!” involves Spirits from the Game Boy and Game Boy Color.

Pokemon is usually a what-you-see-is-what-you-get affair. Most Pokemon species come in a package everyone is familiar with and can identify. However, some Pokemon have the ability to mix things up with different forms that not only have different designs, but can do different things on the battlefield. While most Pokemon with form differences are Legendary or Mythical, this list will shine the spotlight on the little guys. Some non-Legendary Pokemon nonetheless stand out with different forms, whether permanent or interchangeable within a battle....

The relationship between superheroes and video games has always been a fascinating one. Society is currently in a period where superheroes seem to dominate every form of pop culture, but even before this massive boom, they were still a frequent presence in video games. Some superheroes have only recently gotten games to showcase their stories, but the X-Men have been a part of video games for decades now. As the characters find themselves in an unusual place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s likely that some new X-Men games are on the horizon....

The Pokémon franchise has really exploded in a way that nobody could have expected. Whether it’s the video game series, anime, or trading card game, Pokémon is a phenomenon that cannot be stopped, even decades after its debut. It’s been amazing to see the hundreds of new Pokémon that have been created, but for many players the creatures from Generation 1 still hold the most nostalgia. The original 150 Pokémon that helped define the series are all special in their own way, but many of them also skew towards the more dangerous and intimidating side of Pokémon....

The Ace Attorney series has been entertaining wannabe detectives, prosecutors, spirit mediums, and defense attorneys for the last 20 years while also becoming one of the most popular and recognizable visual novel titles of all time. Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, and even legendary prosecutor Miles Edgeworth have all allowed us to join their investigations of a plethora of cases; examining crime scenes, cross-examining witnesses, and sifting through evidence before going toe-to-toe with some of the best and most feared prosecutors Ace Attorney had to offer....

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 3 episode 5. It’s no secret that things are quite bad in the world of The Boys season 3. Uber-corporation Vought International has a stranglehold on pop culture, churning out trite superhero content based on their actual superheroes that exacerbate America’s already problematic appreciation for authoritarian figures. But did it always have to be this way? What about the halcyon days of Old Hollywood in The Boys?...

Aside from being a rollicking, romantic romp, The Mummy (1999) has carved out an iconic place among movie lovers for what Tor.com’s Leah Schnelbach describes as its chaotic bisexual energy. Here is a movie with an ensemble cast whose combined hotness, sheer charisma, and bucking of gender and societal norms make it so that anyone can see themselves in a variety of characters—and perhaps make some breakthroughs in realizing who they’re attracted to....

Woof. Man of Medan, am I right? While some people had their fun with it, I couldn’t help but to wish I was playing Until Dawn throughout Supermassive’s buggy, meandering letdown. However, the initial teaser for the game’s first follow-up still had me curious. And it looks like that curiosity will be sated soon, if the game’s new trailer is anything to go off of. The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is aiming to drop this summer....

Montreal-based independent game studio Coconut Games has released the first trailer for The Day After, one of the latest entrants into the survival open world genre that has seen no shortage of content in the last few years.

With hits like Blair Witch and Observer, Bloober Team is firmly establishing itself as one of the most consistent studios when it comes to the horror genre. One of its most ambitious projects, The Medium, is set to launch later this year as an Xbox Series X console exclusive, and slowly but surely, more details about the game are being made available in the weeks leading up to its launch....

Hwang Dong-hyuk likely never imagined the massive scope of Squid Game‘s success. The creator of the Netflix global phenomenon is well-known feature film director in Korea who initially developed Squid Game as a movie. It only became a nine-part series after years of rejections; 13 years after the creator first had the idea for the story, the media landscape had changed enough that Hwang’s vision fit into a modern streaming TV drama format....

Jedi Master Yoda, Star Wars’ favorite puppet and the character whose performance could have made or broken The Empire Strikes Back, has a long history. In the real world, he’s a pop culture legend. In the Star Wars saga, he’s a 900-year old font of wisdom, strongly devoted to the light side of the Force but sometimes short-sighted. He’s Star Wars incarnate–but does he need to be in every Star Wars story?...

Serial Cleaners (sequel to Draw Distance’s Serial Cleaner of 2017) is a stealthy action crime game set for a 2021 release. The official reveal trailer for the game emerged over the weekend - a simple buttery smooth 47 second segment depicting one of said Serial Cleaners, who is a cigarette-wielding, greased-haired cool guy straight outta the ’90s. That’s probably because the game is actually set in the ’90s. Serial Cleaners will see you playing as “four eccentric mob cleaners taking on the bloodiest jobs the carefree 1990s had to offer....

All five DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have already been decided. Series creator Masahiro Sakurai confirmed this in a tweet, saying that Nintendo itself chose the characters. This is interesting, not only because all the fighters have already been chosen, but that Nintendo itself made the decision of who to include. This is an important distinction. According to Sakurai here, Nintendo, not he, picked the DLC characters. Nintendo is a company, so it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that it would choose fighters with the broadest market appeal....

You gotta love how Smash Bros. Ultimate seems to get new fighters without any warning. Whereas Mortal Kombat will tease a new DLC character for months, Nintendo hands out 24-hours notice before BAM, there’s a new fighter on the roster. Nintendo just tweeted out earlier this morning that the seventh DLC fighter from Fighters Pass Volume 2 is about to be announced. Tomorrow morning at 10 AM EST (7 AM PST), Nintendo will host a short 3-minute presentation that reveals the new challenger, and will then follow that up with a brief message from game director Masahiro Sakurai....
