As such, it feels like a miracle that Ralph Breaks the Internet — while not quite as pure as its predecessor — is also tremendously charming. note: This review contains mild spoilers for Ralph Breaks the Internet.] After coming to peace with his role as a bad guy with the help of Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), a character from a neighboring racing game, Ralph has found bliss in routine. Nevertheless, Ralph Breaks the Internet is so well-crafted that its clunkiest parts deliver on a de

And his Plan B for an entire team of superheroes is one woman: Captain Marvel. Marvel Captain Marvel Prelude shows us the road that lead to Nick Fury grabbing his beeper and contacting Captain Marvel is a lot longer than you might expect — the issue begins with a reminder of the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Marvel’s string of Marvel Cinematic Universe prelude books are usually mostly recaps of existing films, and Marvel Captain Marvel Prelude is no different, but it does has one subtle mes

On Wednesday, Tennis star Serena Williams asked Twitter a very simple question, prompting an extended debate inside the Polygon offices. Yes, Iron Man. Unlike his teammates, Iron Man is the Avenger who has directly caused the most damage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man is power and delusion left completely unchecked, and the results have been disastrous. What Serena Williams does with this information is up to her.

These days, I watch the films of Studio Ghibli, director Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved Japanese animation studio, and dissolve into tears. Ensnared in a bathhouse for spirits, the film’s protagonist is miserable: A witch stole her name and cursed food has transformed her parents into pigs. Ghibli films rarely depict a base reality unlike our own. There are no superheroes, only complex characters whose bravery contends with self-doubt, and whose doubt gives way to love, all the time. Horikoshi designe

Fortnite Battle Royale has been about more than just surviving for quite a while now, but the game’s new Food Fight mode taking objective-based multiplayer to a whole new level. Food Fight, which was just added in Fortnite patch v6.30, is a little like a cross between capture the flag and a protect-the-VIP game mode. Then the two teams fight it out, each attempting to infiltrate the enemy base and destroy their mascot. While the mode may still take place within Fortnite Battle Royale, it feels a

The short-film adaptation of indie game Beholder has its first trailer, and you can see why Nikita Ordynskiy and Liliya Tkach, the filmmakers behind the Papers, Please movie, made this their next project. Beholder, by Warm Lamp Games, is different from Papers, Please, but the two games draw on similar themes of moral ambiguity, oppressive bureaucracy, dehumanizing employment and personal betrayal. The minutelong trailer shows the game’s player character, who is the landlord of an apartment build

It’s been more than a year since Pokémon Go developer Niantic and Warner Bros. announced they were working on a mobile augmented reality game based on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter franchise. Today, those companies gave us a glimpse of how that game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, will play. A new teaser for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite doesn’t show any actual gameplay, but it does hint at what players will be doing. The Harry Potter: Wizards Unite’s website — which has recently been updated

In an attempt better connect with America’s youth, the U.S. Army is standing up an esports team. An online form indicates that there is interest in fielding teams for Fortnite, Call of Duty, Tekken, League of Legends, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Overwatch, FIFA, the Madden series and the NBA 2K franchise. Once deployed, that college’s esports teams will use the vehicle to compete against the Army’s esports team remotely from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The goal is now to increase the total si

The first live update for Battlefield 5 is out now. Battlefield 5 now offers ray tracing for GPUs that support the technology. Ray tracing is currently offered by Nvidia, but only on specific RTX-class devices. One major gameplay change is a tweak to how anti-aircraft fire impacts players leaping into action during some sections of Battlefield 5’s Grand Operations. Another major change clears up a server-wide bug that would prevent players from reviving each other after they were wounded.

And there’s one new element that weirdly adds an incredibly tranquil, relaxing gameplay loop to the game: the Merchant Alliance’s cargo runs. Cargo runs, on the other hand, are reliable and simple: You head to a contact, pick up valuable cargo, and then deliver it to another contact somewhere else. There’ll always be an element of risk to cargo runs, especially with the upcoming Shrouded Spoils expansion adding new environmental hazards like fog. Cargo runs are enough to even get me to log on al

It’s the sort of moment that Night Elf players have been hoping for for a long time. Then, in World of Warcraft, the Night Elves have been steadily losing their bite. It’s a pretty poor showing for the Night Elves, and then they begin the next expansion by getting burned alive en masse. Alliance players will also be able to unlock “Night Warrior” customization for their Night Elf characters, giving them midnight black eyes. That’s a promising start, and a lot of Night Elf players are hoping this

As promised, long-awaited support for keyboard and mouse controls is now available on Xbox One. Microsoft’s latest system update for the Xbox means games like Fortnite and Warframe can now be played with a keyboard and mouse, as well as with a traditional gamepad.

The Jan. 31, 2019 shutdown will most dramatically affect multiplayer-only Warhawk, which won’t be playable unless the PS3 is set to LAN and locally networked with other users.
