She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power Readies For Final Season

Netflix has released two new promotional posters for the final season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, teasing the “ultimate battle for Etheria” arriving on May 15th. Take a look at them here.

Back in 2018, the show revamped the classic 80s She-Ra cartoon with all-new designs and stories, featuring a re-imagined Adora who one day finds a magical sword capable of transforming her into the titular She-Ra, Princess of Power. A lot has happened in Adora’s world since then, of course–the ominous teasers feature a shattered sword and the looming visage of Hordak, the leader of the villainous Horde. “We must be strong,” the posters say, “we must be brave.”

According to showrunner Noelle Stevenson who spoke with EW about the show’s final run, the conclusion of the series was planned from the start. The team was well aware of their total episode count right from the beginning and had planned their plots and story beats for a five-season run.

As for the crux of Season 5’s conflict? Stevenson explained that things are now getting a lot less black-and-white. “It has been a self-contained world in a self-contained struggle, where the sides of dark and light seemed well-defined at the beginning. But immediately those lines started getting blurred: Characters switched sides, characters who you thought were evil became good and good became evil, and then we started questioning what good and evil even means here. But it was personal for them. They’re fighting people they know, and for people like Adora and Catra they know each other very intimately. Now suddenly they have a villain who they don’t know. They’re getting exposed to the wider universe. Even people who had been fighting for world domination are suddenly realizing how high the stakes are.”

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power’s final season premieres on Netflix, May 15. Catch up on the whole series for less with a 50% off deal from Amazon.

Minecraft Dungeons Might Be Delayed Due To Coronavirus Concerns

If you’re eagerly anticipating the release of Minecraft Dungeons, steel yourself for some bad news. The game’s Twitter account recently announced that they may miss their planned release date of April 2020 due to the team behind the game working from home because of coronavirus concerns.

“As we’re working from home to do our part in protecting our community, our workflows will unfortunately be impacted,” the tweet reads. “We’re working hard to deliver Minecraft Dungeons in April, but we’re also re-evaluating our timeline to make sure we bring you the best game possible. Stay tuned!”

Minecraft Dungeons is the latest of the many spin-offs of the epoch-defining survival/building franchise. Dungeons is set to be a co-op dungeon crawler inspired by classics of the genre, such as Diablo. The game previously had an open beta late last year, with gameplay footage emerging a few months later. It features an isometric perspective and twitch-based combat.

The Best Games For Hanging Out With Your Friends Online

Borderlands 3 -- Alessandro Fillari, Editor

Borderlands 3 — Alessandro Fillari, Editor

As I mentioned in GameSpot’s recurring series Now Playing, the fun that’s in the Borderlands series can be something of an acquired taste. Though Borderlands 3 often feels like it should have come out about three years ago, it still possesses some stellar shooting mechanics and a vibrant aesthetic. With over 100 hours in the game’s looter-shooter loop, I can say that it offers some of the most bizarre, and dumb fun I’ve had in an FPS in a long time. Though there’s a lot of complexity in customizing your vault hunter with new skills and weapons, what really makes the game so satisfying is tearing through legions of bandits and other mobs with your ludicrously overpowered guns–and that enjoyment is magnified when you’re teaming up with friends.

I mostly play Borderlands 3 solo, but every once in a while, I like to team up with friends. What’s great about Borderlands 3 is the amount of chaos you can create with friends when working together effectively. Some of my favorite moments during my time in co-op were when my version of Zane and my friend’s Fl4k unleash our unique skills while unloading on enemies with legendary weapons like the Cutsman and Dictator. We tend to play on Mayhem 3, which keeps it challenging, but not so overwhelming, and it’s always satisfying seeing high-level enemies melt when our attacks land.

While the story and character arcs of the Borderlands series have often focused on low-brow humor that feels incredibly dated, I tend to tune that out in favor of the action, which it always excels at. I’m still finding a lot of fun in Borderlands 3, especially when playing with friends. Currently, I’m working on leveling up my fourth character, Fl4k, and it’s really surprising to see how much the game can change when playing as a different vault hunter. With a lot more new updates and DLC coming this year, I can see myself even more time with the game, and I’m not too bothered by that prospect. | Twitter: @afillari

Doom Eternal Review Roundup

Doom fans are getting ready to rip and tear their way through the long-awaited sequel to the series’ 2016 reboot, and if the reviews are any indication, Doom Eternal delivers. Taking cues from 1994’s Doom 2: Hell on Earth, Eternal challenges players to beat back the hordes of Hell from Earth itself, introducing a load of fun new toys for the Doom Slayer to play with.

In general, critics have plenty of positive things to say about the shooter, including our 8/10 review-in-progress. “Once you get the hang of it, though, all of Doom Eternal’s many elements come together in a cascade of mayhem that makes you into the brainiest killing machine around,” wrote our critic, Phil Hornshaw. “This isn’t the kind of shooter in which your twitch reactions and aiming skills will carry you through; Eternal is a game in which you have to be constantly plotting your next move, executing a calculus of carnage to keep yourself alive and make everything else dead. Every moment is about analyzing the battlefield to find the next enemy you can stagger and slice apart for health or ammo, figuring out which enemy is your top priority and what guns you’ll need to take it out safely, and where you need to head next in order to take the shots you need or keep the creatures chasing you from getting their own chance to rip and tear.”

We’ve grabbed some more reviews below, and most of them echo similar points. Generally, critics are impressed with the depth and pace of the game’s frenetic combat, with most agreeing that it’s a significant improvement over its predecessor. However, these writers are less impressed with the game’s increased focus on storytelling and lore, with many arguing that such a move misrepresents the core strengths of the franchise. For more reviews, check out our sister site Metacritic to see what other sites had to say.

  • Game: Doom Eternal
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, Stadia
  • Developer: id Software
  • Release date: March 20
  • Price: $60 / £50 / $80 AUD

GameSpot – 8/10 (review-in-progress)

“Though it can take a bit to get the hang of it, the intricacies of Doom Eternal’s combat, combined with its enhanced mobility and option-heavy level design, create a ton of white-knuckle moments that elevate everything that made Doom 2016 work so well. Its combat is just as quick and chaotic, but requires you to constantly analyze everything that’s happening in order to come out victorious. Once you get the hang of the rhythm of Doom Eternal, it’ll make you feel like a demon-slaying savant.” – Phil Hornshaw [Full Review]

USG – [score forthcoming]

“Doom was a nearly-perfect ode to digital brutality in 2016, recasting the original Doom games in a new image. It was fast and vicious, with the perfect mix of FPS combat, story, and level design. It also didn’t overstay its welcome. Doom Eternal mostly manages to avoid the bloat that plagues other sequels, but it also roughs up that perfect pacing with more lore, sometimes muddy platforming, and more collectibles to find. Doom Eternal survives to the end, fist raised in triumph, it just takes a few more hits than its predecessor did to get there. Still, as Space Viking King says, ‘You remain unbroken.’ Doom Eternal is certainly not broken, and in these trying times, I think we all need a little “rip and tear” in our lives.” – Mike Williams [Full Review]

PC Gamer – 94/100

“It was all overwhelming at first, frustrating second, and then suddenly novel and exciting. Yes, it makes zero sense that you light monsters on fire in order to get them to drop armor shards. But oddities like this feed into an exhausting, anxiety-inducing, thrilling-once-you-get-it vibe, and farming armor from the same guy I’m dueling creates a give-and-take with enemies that isn’t present in other shooters.” – James Davenport [Full Review]

Polygon – “Recommended”

“When it clicks for you — when you instinctively know to use a freezing grenade (also new to this entry) to slow a powerful demon, light a creeping horde on fire for its abundance of armor, send a flaming arrow into a flying beast, smash the flaming horde for health, and then cleave the original frozen baddie in half right before it thaws — you feel like Doomguy. And Doomguy feels like a god. It takes a lot of smarts to make something that often sounds stupid while feeling so exhilarating and mentally taxing.” – Chris Plante [Full Review]

Eurogamer – [no score]

“Still, if visceral gratification is the goal, Eternal amply delivers. The combat is once again about ceaseless pivoting between attack and retreat, care of a raucous battlefield ecology which sees you ripping ammo, health and armour refills from your prey rather than just searching for medikits or finding somewhere to cool off. Stun a foe and you can execute them for a smidgeon of health. These executions double as windows of rest, with other demons easing off till you’re done rearranging your victim’s anatomy. They can also be triggered from metres away, warping you to the target without even the courtesy of a transitional animation, which means you can use them to escape or get behind a mob. Bisect demons with your trusty chainsaw, meanwhile, and you’ll be rewarded with a geyser of ammo, restocking all your weapons in one dollop. You’ll need plenty of chainsaw fuel to carve up the bigger demons, but you’ll always have enough to carve up the smaller “fodder” demons, who spawn endlessly throughout each battle till the larger demons are slain.” – Edwin Evans-Thirlwell [Full Review]

Stuck At Home: 6 Movies To Watch When You’re Fighting Cabin Fever

Stuck At Home: 6 Movies To Watch When You’re Fighting Cabin Fever – GameSpot

By on

Social distancing and being stuck at home isn't fun, but we can make the best of it with some old favorites.

Social distancing and being stuck at home isn’t fun, but we can make the best of it with some old favorites.

Let’s face it: self-isolation and social distancing are not exactly the most fun way to spend your time, but in the face of the greater good, it’s definitely worth it. And, besides, it does kind of harken back to the halcyon days of the snow day for those of you who were lucky enough to get them. Or, the sick day for those of you who weren’t. There was something a little magical about being stuck at home and not at school as a kid and part of that magic came from the freedom to watch movies over and over again to your heart’s content.

Now, the situation with the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is pretty drastically different (and infinitely more serious) than the rose-colored days of our youths, to be sure–and the list of events, movies, and conventions delayed, postponed or canceled altogether keeps growing–but we can still do what we can to make the best of a bad situation. The GameSpot editorial team has come together to think back on their favorite movies to watch when stuck inside for whatever reason–from nostalgic deep-cuts to modern classics. These are the movies that have helped us get through the cabin fever of the great indoors, and we certainly hope they’ll do the same for you.

Muppets Treasure Island - Meg Downey, Associate Entertainment Editor

Muppets Treasure Island – Meg Downey, Associate Entertainment Editor

Sometimes, you just need to have a troupe of Muppets perform musical renditions of literary classics to really make you feel better. If it were closer to Christmas, A Muppets Christmas Carol would do the trick, but since it’s March, we’re going to hit the high seas with Muppets Treasure Island.

There’s just something magical about a muppet-filled pirate adventure. This used to be my go-to “home sick from school” movie back as a kid and it still holds up today–everything from Tim Curry belting out sea shanties in the company of Kermit the Frog to the genuinely terrifying Blind Pew who kicks the movie off by not-quite-murdering (but also definitely murdering) Billy Connolley. And, to really ice the cake, there’s even a whole musical number about feeling like you’re losing your mind because you’re stuck inside. It’s quite literally the perfect movie for the situation.

Hackers - Chris Hayner, Entertainment Editor

Hackers – Chris Hayner, Entertainment Editor

No, you won’t learn how to hack computers in this movie. However, you will know how to look and act incredibly cool, should you ever be transported back to 1995–a personal dream of mine. Hackers, for how silly it is, is actually a very entertaining movie and the exact kind of comfort food you need when you’re stuck at home for any reason.

It stars a young Angelina Jolie as a teen computer hacker who, along with her fellow teen hackers (played by Jonny Lee Miller, Mathew Lillard, and an array of other terrible dressed kids), goes toe-to-toe with an evil hacker framing them for trying to capsize oil tankers. Why is he doing that? So he can steal money from the oil company, of course.

Come for the budding romance between Jolie’s Acid Burn and Miller’s Zero Cool, stay for the ridiculous special effects, unrealistic use of computers, and lots of technobabble that mostly doesn’t make sense. Then relish in the over-the-top performance by Fisher Stevens as the evil hacker, who is an adult named Eugene that calls himself The Plague and rides a skateboard. Hackers truly has it all.

Masters of the Universe - Mat Elfring, News Editor of Entertainment

Masters of the Universe – Mat Elfring, News Editor of Entertainment

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an objectively terrible animated series that I watched every single morning before heading off to elementary school. So when the live-action adaptation of that cartoon came to the big screen in 1987, of course, I was first in line. When it came out on VHS, I owned a copy. Every time I stayed home from school, I curled up in the living room watching that flaming dumpster of a movie.

Masters of the Universe isn’t just a poor adaptation of a weekly 30-minute commercial for toys, it’s a poor attempt at making a movie with a coherent plot. But hey, Billy Barty was in it, and that made me pretty happy. He-Man has to go to Earth to play a magical keyboard or whatever, and he ends up teaming up with Courtney Cox–right after she was in that Bruce Springstein music video. Frank Langella–most known for his role as the street-savvy cop in Brainscan–plays Skeletor here, and he seems to be the only actor in the film giving it his all.

The nostalgia factor is strong with this one for me. Sure, I just dedicated a solid amount of time slam dunking on a movie that’s already been slam-dunked on for 30 years, but I get a very warm and fuzzy feeling when this movie comes on. Side note: I highly recommend the Masters of the Universe episode of Toys That Made Us and the documentary Electric Boogaloo: The Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films. Both of these give much better insight into why this movie is awful.

Big Trouble in Little China - Lan Pitts, Entertainment Writer

Big Trouble in Little China – Lan Pitts, Entertainment Writer

There’s something about a story about a white collar superhero that seems more than ever relatable. “Big Trouble” is all about truck driver Jack Burton (played iconically by Kurt Russell) as he comes face-to-face with ancient evil and powerful magics, while trying to survive so he can get paid. There’s a lot to love about “Big Trouble” as it’s not a standard 80s action flick. Yeah, some of the trademark tropes are there, but most of them are embodied in Russell’s performance as Jack, the rest is a martial arts sword and sorcery movie that truly is one of a kind.

The Matrix - Mike Rougeau, Managing Editor of Entertainment

The Matrix – Mike Rougeau, Managing Editor of Entertainment

When things aren’t going so well–for me personally or for the world in general, as is currently the case–there’s nothing I love more than fetal’ing up under a blanket and allowing myself to become completely absorbed in a familiar but deeply immersive story. And what could possibly be more immersive than a movie about the very fabric of the world in which we live?

From the opening action scene in which Trinity flees from the machines’ Agents, to Neo’s first meeting with the mysterious Morpheus, all the way through the revelation of what the Matrix is, Neo’s training, and his eventual confrontation with Agent Smith, The Matrix is essentially a perfect movie. There’s nothing in this film that will take you out of it or make you think about all the things you’d rather not think about, from current politics to looming global pandemics. Besides, if we’re all living in a simulation, then rapidly spreading, highly contagious viruses can’t really hurt us–right?

Thor: Ragnarok - Tamoor Hussain, Senior Editor

Thor: Ragnarok – Tamoor Hussain, Senior Editor

When stuck inside I gravitate towards movies and TV that lift the spirit, lighten the mood, and inject a little energy into my world. I want to feel like I’m hanging out with friends, kickin’ it, sharing jokes, poking fun at each other and–on the odd occasion–getting up to a bit of mischief. These days, the movie I lean on to give me that feeling is Thor: Ragnarok, a wacky tale about a superhero god that gets stranded on another planet ruled by Jeff Goldblum. Ragnarok is, from it’s opening moments, a film about making light of the situation and embracing the ridiculousness of it all. Almost every scene delivers a joke that tickles, and you can bet a bolt of lightning that I’m quoting every Korg line. Watching that movie is like being surrounded with mates, which is perfect to stave off the madness of isolation. Whenever I’m starting to lose the plot a bit, I can just shout, “The hammer pulled you off?” and all is well.

Horror Streaming Service Shudder Is Offering 30 Free Days, Here’s What You Can Watch

If you are a fan of horror and somehow haven’t signed up for the streaming service Shudder yet, now is the perfect time to do so. The service is offering one month for free for those new to the service.

Because of social distancing amidst the COVID-19 (the coronavirus) pandemic, people will be spending a lot more time inside. Shudder has been recommending horror movies to watch on the service, and recently, it announced a promo code to get you 30 days for free. All you have to do is use the code “SHUTIN” to stream for free.

If you like Shudder and want to continue after the 30-day trial, it will cost $6 a month or, if you pay annually, it will cost $57 ($4.75 a month). Shudder features movies, TV shows, and originals all from the realm of horror. There are also documentaries and docuseries as well to check out.

What should you watch?

There is plenty on the service to check out, and it could be a little overwhelming. Luckily, we have a few recommendations for Shudder content that is well worth your time.

Slumber Party Massacre 2 is a horror film from 1987 that I take every opportunity I can to talk about on GameSpot. It follows a band who heads up to a cabin for the weekend. Of course, the band also has a few musical numbers during the movie, including the hit songs “If Only” and “Why“–there’s also a moment where one of the members begins to sing a song called “Pie in the Sky.” Obviously, this relaxing weekend has some problematic issues. A rockabilly murderer who plays a guitar with a drill on the end is coming after everyone in the house, one by one. Does the supernatural killer have his own musical number? Yes, yes he does.

There are also plenty of classic horror movies you need to see again, including Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2; however, my personal favorite Clive Barker movie is Night Breed: The Director’s Cut. The 1990 movie follows a man tortured with visions monsters, only to find they exist in their own underground city. He heads there after being accused of serial killings and searches for the man who actually committed them.

Shudder has plenty of originals as well. Recently released was The Room, a film about a couple who finds a room in their new house can grant wishes. And no, it’s not two hours of people having the best time of their lives. The biggest recent release from Shudder’s original lineup is the reboot of Creepshow. The half-hour series features two tales of horror from various directors and writers, giving the series a unique and ever-changing voice.

You can check out Shudder for yourself above and start watching horror movies while you’re shut in.

All The Free Games You Can Grab Right Now

Being stuck inside can suck big-time, but thankfully, online storefronts and developers are taking note and giving away a bunch of games for free to help us kill the time.

Of course, it’s important to remember that you may already be subscribed to a service that gives you access to free monthly games. PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, and Twitch Prime all currently have free games available for the month of March, and more are scheduled to arrive in April.

Apex Legends Evo Shields Will Stay Following System Override Collection Event

Following the conclusion of Apex Legends‘ System Override Event, which officially wrapped up on March 17, developer Respawn Entertainment confirmed that the new Evo Shields are here to stay.

This item was exclusive to the Deja Loot LTE. Now that System Override is done, Evo Shields can be seen in Ranked, the quick-play mode Play Apex, and “limited-time modes moving forward.”

Evo Shields are upgradeable armor pieces that progressively grow stronger as you deal damage to enemies. Despite it starting out weaker than a common white body shield, rain enough bullets on your opponents and it’s possible to upgrade the Evo Shield above a legendary gold body shield. But there’s a catch: Evo Shields retain their progress when dropped, so it’s likely you or your enemy could come across a fully-upgraded shield on the battlefield.

In a feature discussing the Evo Shields, associate editor Jordan Ramée said he loves how the new piece of equipment affects Apex Legends’ meta. “The Evo Shield rewards players who are willing to try other strategies, such as flanking an enemy’s position, taking a few shots at a team too far away to commit to, or utilizing an ultimate ability to split up an enemy squad,” Ramée wrote. “These aren’t glamorous roles, but doing them can now reward you with powerful body shields. Players will likely begin adopting these strategies, all of which add a significant new wrinkle to a battle royale that’s largely been focused around close-range engagements.”

Though System Override is over, Apex Legends has seen a bunch of updates since the limited-time event started on Tuesday, March 3. This includes changes to Bloodhound, a minor adjustment to Wattson, and more. But be warned, though: in case you haven’t downloaded the update already, it’s pretty big.
