Back in 2022, one of the most unexpectedly big games of the year was a cute little cult simulator. Cult of the Lamb, developed by Massive Monster and published by Devolver Digital, made a huge splash when it launched two summers ago and spoke to all the little freaks and deviants out there. Its hybrid of Animal Crossing-style daily tasks, recruitment, and relationship maintenance as well as Hades’ roguelike design and fast-paced combat made for a compelling venture into the heart of evil. As it celebrates its second anniversary, you can get it and all of the DLC that’s come out since launch for especially cheap.

Y’know, just saying, but if you had to walk through a pitch black catacomb, kill multiple wizards, rats and a ninja whose every strike drives you to literal insanity, sneak past unkillable specters who will go full A Quiet Place if you make a single noise, raid a mansion full of unflinching greatsword warriors, while hearing a man scream his lungs out thanks to the unholy bone sword he has instead of a spinal column and the eldritch evil begging to crawl its way out of his skin, one might, y’know, get the idea that maybe you’re not wanted here. But, hey, sunk cost fallacy is a bitch, and you’re not gonna go all that way through the Abyssal Woods, and not talk to the guy at the end—Midra—find out what his deal is.

Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power season 1 left me pretty cool. As a fan of Tolkien’s fantasy world, I thought it had its moments, but a lot of it felt like a waste. Season 2, based on the trailers at least, feels like it’s shaping up to be something else entirely. A second look at the upcoming episodes shows where all the action and drama that fans missed the first time around ended up.

We’ve all been there. You’re playing your favorite Mario Kart, cruising to a first-place victory after a cakewalk race when one little thing goes wrong and you’re suddenly staring down the barrel of a humiliating finish. This is the essence of getting Mario Karted, a term immortalized a decade ago and perfectly captured again like lightning in a bottle earlier this month.

Video game release dates are more a suggestion than a promise these days, and understandably so. Making games is hard and audiences have never been busier and more fickle. Still, it’s disappointing when you find out that sci-fi shooter or fantasy adventure you’ve been waiting for won’t be out any time soon, and a lot of that disappointment is going around right now, as a bunch of this year’s notable releases have recently slipped to 2025.

Garlic, thyme, and parsley are stirred in for flavor, followed by seasoning with salt and pepper. The dish is garnished with additional parsley and served warm, making for a savory, aromatic side.
