Music is - quite literally - magic.

Bag for life.
Let's lay out the facts of the case: Eisuke Saski, a high schooler, has been found strangled by a pumping station outside of the city. The object used to kill him is missing, but the true oddity is the paper bag with a grinning face drawn upon it placed over his head. A regular high schooler no more, this bag connects Eisuke to an uncaught serial killer from 18 years ago, who did the same thing to their victims. The twist? All three of those original victims were teenage girls. (Here's where the 'dun dun' would go if this was a Law and Order episode.)

Review | Concord review - a hero shooter that nails the shooting, but fumbles the heroes
Overcooked.
I've always thought there was something presumptuous about hero shooters. Building an entire game around a bunch of characters I'm expected to like purely on vibes is a big ask. Even BioWare, with its decades-long legacy of character-driven storytelling, recently got dinged for assuming players would immediately buy into Dragon Age: The Veilguard's new party in the game's misguided initial trailer.
