Spoilers lie ahead. Like, directly ahead. Proceed with caution. Once Sonequa Martin-Green was cast (opens in new tab) in upcoming TV series Star Trek: Discovery (opens in new tab), it seemed likely that Sasha would be exiting the world of The Walking Dead one way or another. Given how many …

Well, that didn’t last long. While Hostiles and Calamities (opens in new tab) was an excellent examination of how ordinary people are compelled to do terrible things, Say Yes was a stupid, indulgent mess that traded genuine emotion for exposition dumps and what in the HELL was up with that …

I Am Setsuna is out this week for Nintendo Switch. Here is our review from its initial release on PS4. I Am Setsuna knows what it wants to be, and it tries its hardest to achieve it. It’s a smaller, more intimate adventure than many of Square Enix’s prior efforts, …
