There was a time before, and a time after Akira. Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s wildly influential adaptation of his own epic manga forever changed the perception of Japanese animation in the West – the first domino to fall in widespread cultural adoption of anime outside of Japan. Without Akira, it’s possible we might never have seen Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle outgross Superman at the box office in 2025. Arguably even more impressive than this legacy: Akira has barely aged a day in almost 40 years.Timeless is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but if Akira were released for the first…
The Rally Point is a regular column where the inimitable Sin Vega delves deep into strategy gaming. Centuries ago, before 2022, before the Good Darkness of 2020, before the Before Times of 2015, the ancient age before even that of 2013, and perhaps, some fringe scholars suggest, even before the beginning of this sentence, there was Arcen Games.
The Lunum Mines is Pragmata’s fourth main area, and it’s packed with just as many secrets as the first three.This area will often have you exploring the surface of the moon, experimenting with different levels of gravity, and avoiding some ferocious enemies.

In this guide, we’re breaking down the location of every Storage Expander, Cartridge Holder, Safe Box, Pure Lunum, Mod, and REM in the Lunum Mines section of Pragmata.This follows on from our guide to all…
Heads up, the GameSir Pocket Taco is finally live at Amazon, and the first result is no longer tortillas you can fill with beans and cheese. Instead, you’ll find an excellent controller that transforms your phone into a retro handheld for Game Boy classics, albeit with a weird discount that throws its full price into question.According to Amazon, the GameSir Pocket Taco comes in at $44.99, but you can currently grab it for $34.99. The issue is that this “discount” come with a “lowest price in 30 days” badge when it’s only been live at the retailer since April 15,…
It’s been over a decade since the last Heroes of Might & Magic game, and more than 25 since we set foot in the fantasy world of Enroth, the setting of the first three titles in the strategy series. So there is a lot riding on Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, the reboot of the series from developers Unfrozen, backed both by a collaboration between Ubisoft and Hooded Horse, and the series’ creator Jon Van Caneghem. Who better to tell if this venerable and cherished jewel within PC gaming’s crown has polished up nicely than two people who…
We’ve just been given our first proper in-game look at the FF14 7.5 patch and everything it brings to the MMORPG, straight from Game Director Naoki Yoshida and Community Producer Toshio Murouchi. FF14 Live Letter 92 is a bulky affair, with ‘Yoshi-P’ wearing a baseball shirt that reads, “Losing isn’t an option.” Despite the fact that all of the expansion details are being saved for a reveal at Fanfest NA next week, he warns that this is a dense showcase, and expresses (via community translation) a little nervousness about his capabilities in showing off the likes of the Beastmaster job…

The Pragmata Solar Power Plant level has several collectibles to find across its three areas, including a few Safe Boxes, two REMs, and a Mod. But since some of these are blocked behind blue crystal-like Lunafilament structures that can only be destroyed with a particular upgrade, you’ll need to do a bit of backtracking if you want to fully loot this area of its most valuable resources. With that, here are the locations for all items in the Solar Power Plant needed to achieve 100% completion.Be aware of some very mild early-game spoilers for Pragmata below.Generator EntranceThe first area of…
Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun Steam Deck Academy brings together all our guides and explainers on getting the most out of your Steam Deck, no student loans or sweaty dormitories required. Sci-fi dadblaster Pragmata is Capcom’s second smooth-running RE Engine game in two months, dishing out loads of ray-traced frames on muscular PCs while still running at a decent clip if you don’t quite meet all of its minimum system specs. But what happens when you dip even lower, down towards the realm of shared RAM and integrated graphics in which the Steam Deck resides? That’s mostly fine too. Probably…
Given that it’s described as a game with little handholding for new players and a learning curve at higher levels, these new Paradox codes should be considered near-essential. Miss a trick or forget to redeem one, and you’ll soon start to struggle against those who did. Paradox is a tough Roblox roleplaying game based on the long-standing Bleach IP. Whether you opt to wield a weighty greataxe or see yourself as a swift and skilled ninja with twin blades, surviving a fight in Paradox is a mind game as much as it is a test of strength and resolve.
