It’s almost cruel to talk about the best RPGs ever made. Not only is it the kind of topic that inspires especially heated debates, but even a shortlist of the greatest RPGs ever may leave you desperately trying to find the time to somehow play them all. Then again, the thing that separates the best

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 14 “Heaven’s never been a democracy.” You’d think the return of God and Tricia Helfer would be enough to carry any television episode, but Lucifer’s parents also seem to confirm the veracity of the multiverse theory.

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 15 “He’s not trying to win an election; he’s trying to win a war.” Lucifer does heartwarming and heart wrenching as well as any television series when the story requires it, but nothing adequately prepares us for the devastating news of Detective Daniel Espinoza’s death at

This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers. My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 10 “The time has not yet come” Patience is an extra special virtue in anime.
