Phantom Blade Zero review: Best action game of the year

China’s video game industry has really ramped up over the past few years, with developers releasing everything from ambitious free-to-play titles like Where Winds Meet to unique Soulslike experiences found in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Then there’s Black Myth: Wukong, which famously won Best Action Game at the 2024 Game Awards. Beating Black Myth: Wukong was never going to be easy, but Phantom Blade Zero’s breathtakingly cool combat, stunning environments, and adrenaline-fueled boss fights surpass its Monkey King rival. It’s a martial arts game that combines Soulslike boss fights with stylish combat choreography inspired by movie greats like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. While it wears its influences proudly on its sleeve, Phantom Blade Zero forges its own identity to stand out from the crowd. You play as Soul, a talented member of The Order, a shadowy group renowned throughout the…

Phantom Blade Zero lands the fight of the year, then trips over itself

Phantom Blade Zero has spent years looking too polished to be believed, especially for a studio better known for mobile work. Phantom Blade Zero has spent years looking too polished to be believed, especially for a studio better known for mobile work. After roughly 50 hours with it, the bigger surprise is that the game backs up the spectacle. It is not just a gorgeous martial arts showcase. It is a remarkably confident action game with combat that feels crisp, responsive and deeply rewarding. Set in a ruined fantasy world, the game casts you as Soul, a mysterious fighter with 66 days left to live and a mission built around revenge. The setup has the scale and mood of a wuxia tale, but the storytelling is easily the weakest part of the package. Phantom Blade Zero piles on mystical terminology, a dense cast and a timeline that keeps jumping around through the present, the recent past and…

The Elden Ring Movie Reportedly Has A $200 Million Budget

After a shaky couple of years in which A24 would either have very big hits or very big misses, 2026 has been a solid year for the studio in ways some people likely weren't expecting. They had weekends when the cultural conversation was dominated by the film in question, like with The Drama early this year, and, thanks to Backrooms, […] After a shaky couple of years in which A24 would either have very big hits or very big misses, 2026 has been a solid year for the studio in ways some people likely weren't expecting They had weekends when the cultural conversation was dominated by the film in question, like with The Drama early this year, and, thanks to Backrooms, A24 is part of why horror fans are eating so, so well this year Now we're heading into the fall with You Can See Everything, which is not only becoming the second 'water cooler' movie that A24 has released this year alone, but…

Will Star Trek: Voyager characters appear in Recollection?

The must-read mystery may become even more compelling to Trekkers and Trekkies. Recollection's author Sam Maggs addressed just such a possibility in a new interview (per CBR) by saying, "While there's no doubt I'd love to bring in cameos from beloved Trek characters from the Voyager era, I actually found the 'locked room mystery' setting of Recollection to be pretty freeing." Maggs continued by telling Comic Book Resources: "When I was working on Picard's Academy for IDW, a series that took place during Jean-Luc's time at Starfleet Academy, I was incredibly and necessarily beholden to decades of Trek continuity." For those who haven't checked out the Recollection webcomic series yet, the YA mystery will drop its 16th episode later today (Sunday, Oct. 25). And the engaging Star Trek story is told solely through vertical-scrolling panels, rather than the way a traditional comic book is…
