In each episode of Quality Control, a Polygon editor talks to a critic after they review a new game, movie or piece of gear and allows them to add a little bit of extra context and insight. Why did they feel the way they did? What do they wish they had been able to discuss in more depth in their review? This week, Russ Frushtick joins host Dave Tach to discuss Russ’ Sea of Thieves review. Email: qualitycontrol at polygon dot comMusic: “Goodwill” by The Custodian of Records

In the most unexpected piece of comic book news of the day, Frank Miller, an artist best known for hyperviolent works such as The Dark Knight Returns, 300, and the Sin City series, has been tapped by DC Comics to write a graphic novel for young adult audiences.

Far Cry 5 releases on Tuesday, but if you’re eager to see how it ends, worry not, because we’ve got the final scene of the game right here. The game kicks off with a squad of US Marshals serving a warrant to arrest Jacob Seed, the leader of a Montana-based cult. In fact, the very first scene of the game has you walking into Seed’s church to slap the cuffs on him. Congrats, you finished Far Cry 5! This cute easter egg harkens back to a similar one in Far Cry 4, which let you skip right to the cre

We took a stab at the first two hours today, and you can watch the full stream in the video above. In A Way Out two players control the characters Vincent and Leo, both of whom are in prison and share a common enemy. Rather than sharing one screen, the screen splits and warps seamlessly from scene to scene, giving each player a different perspective. I’d like to see more games explore boosting characters to high places in the future. If you’d like to read a review of A Way Out, Colin Campbell ha

It wasn’t until I got closer that I realized the game had its own set of unique control and visual attachments. Players at alt.ctrl.GDC got to experience the game in its most interesting configuration: played on a finger skateboard and projected into a full 3D hologram rig.

Destiny 2’s next major update arrives in just a few days, and it will introduce a long-awaited feature for PvP combatants in the Crucible: a penalty for frequent quitters. The feature will debut in Destiny 2 update 1.1.4, Bungie announced yesterday. Quitting is certainly a problem across the entire Crucible, but it’s a much more dire issue when it happens in Competitive games. A spokesperson for the studio clarified to Polygon that the bans will apply only to the Competitive and Osiris Competiti

A new, and smaller than usual map for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be available to try out in early April, the developer announced today.

It will measure 16 square kilometers (4 km by 4 km), instead of the 64 square kilometers of the game’s other maps. He described the map as having a “southeast Asian feel” and said it’s going to b
