The Occupation Review

Disclosure: Humble Bundle (which is owned by Ziff Davis, the parent company of IGN) is either the publisher or financier of this game and may receive a commission or fee in connection with sales. Humble Bundle and IGN operate completely independently, and no special consideration is given to Humble Bundle-published or financed games for coverage or scoring.

Most first-person games that open with an act of terrorism are immediately followed by hours of machine gun-based retribution, but The Occupation takes a refreshingly different approach. Rather than drop you in the combat boots of a one-man army, it instead puts you in the well-worn shoes of an investigative journalist and forces you to examine your surroundings with an analytical eye as opposed to a set of ironsights. Sadly, what could have amounted to a novel and absorbing stealth-investigation experience is regularly ruined by numerous rough edges. Like the subjects of its in-game interrogations, The Occupation’s shaky facade is all too frequently exposed.

Arrow Debuts an Imposing New Villain

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

There’s been a lot to like about Arrow Season 7, certainly compared to the vast majority of Season 6. At the same time, we’re pretty deep into the season to have so little idea of what the endgame involves. Who’s the true villain this year? What is Oliver Queen’s defining struggle now that he’s out of prison and fighting on the right side of the law? For whatever problems it has, “Brothers & Sisters” deserves a lot of credit for bringing new momentum to the show and beginning to shed light on those questions. And not a moment too soon.

The title hinted at a major Ollie/Emiko storyline. Unfortunately, that’s not really what we got out of this week’s installment. That’s one area the show hasn’t handled particularly well. Emiko’s debut in December was a great way to cap off the first half of the season, but she hasn’t been quite the prominent player she really needs to be. There was some sibling drama to be had in this episode, but nothing as deep or compelling as the series needs. The reveal that Emiko is hiding a great deal from Ollie doesn’t carry as much weight when we’re not fully invested in their relationship yet.

New Sherlock Holmes Movie With Robert Downey Jr. And Jude Law Delayed 1 Year

The new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law won’t be out on time. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the third chapter was previously expected to hit theatres on Christmas Day 2020, but now it’s coming to cinemas on December 22, 2021.

No reasoning for the delay was provided.

In the film, Downey Jr. returns to play the famous fictional British detective Sherlock Holmes, with Law reprising his role as the sidekick Dr. Watson. Chris Brancato (Narcos, Hannibal) wrote the script, while Guy Ritchie–who directed the first two Sherlock Holmes films–is rumoured to return for the third.

The first one, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, premiered in 2011 and made more than $545 million at the global box office. The second one, simply titled Sherlock Holmes, came out in 2009 and made $524 million worldwide.

Another movie based on the detective and his sidekick, Holmes and Watson, was released in 2018 starring Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly. It was bashed by critics, and it made only $40 million against a reported production budget of $42 million.

Apex Legends Pro Tips: Things You Should Definitely Know

Whenever Possible, Kill Downed Enemies Immediately

It can feel like, once an enemy is down, you no longer need to worry about them. That’s true in high-combat situations where the most pressing thing is fighting whoever is still shooting at you. But if you have any chance at all to take out a downed enemy, you should do it as quickly as you can–preferably at a distance (grenades are handy for this). Downed enemies can be revived relatively quickly by their teammates, especially Lifeline, which can cost you a numerical advantage in a tough fight. More than that, though, a downed enemy is still able to provide tons of intel to their buddies. In addition to continuing to talk to their teammates, they can still ping you. If you ever see a downed enemy facing you, that’s probably what they’re doing–and that information can help their teammates get the drop on you. Take that information out of the equation as quickly as you can; if you can’t, get away from downed enemies so they can’t report your whereabouts.

Those goals add an additional 22 minutes of animation, two more one-shot campaigns featuring the Vox Machina cast, and additional rewards for backers at the $20 and $100 tiers.

When the campaign hits its $2.5 million goal, an additional 22 minutes of animation will be added to the special. Another stretch goal with a currently unannounced amount will add another 22 minutes.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Is Cheaper Than It’s Ever Been Right Now (US)

Released in October 2018, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey brought players to Ancient Greece and gave them an engaging story with compelling characters and choices, two unique protagonists to choose from, and a massive open-world to explore. Odyssey is a worthy follow-up to 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, and fortunately for anyone who doesn’t already own it, the game is drastically cheaper now than it was in October.

You can buy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s standard edition at its lowest price at GameStop, where it’s listed for $20. That’s a full $40 price drop from its $60 launch price. On GameStop, both PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game are only $20 as part of the retailer’s “Tax Refun” sale, which has huge discounts on games, consoles, and accessories right now. GameStop’s “Tax Refun” sale runs through March 5, so you only have a couple of days to snag this incredible deal.

With its expansive map and a strong narrative that’s heavily impacted by player choice, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was one of the biggest game releases of last year, and GameSpot’s Alessandro Fillari gave it an 8 in his Assassin’s Creed Odyssey review.

“Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s ambition is admirable, which is reflected in its rich attention to detail for the era and its approach to handling the multi-faceted narrative with strong protagonists at the lead,” he wrote. “While its large-scale campaign–clocking in at over 50 hours–can occasionally be tiresome, and some features don’t quite make the impact they should, Odyssey makes great strides in its massive and dynamic world, and it’s a joy to venture out and leave your mark on its ever-changing setting.”

Buy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey at GameStop — $20 (PS4, Xbox One) through March 5
