One year after its untimely conclusion, Netflix‘s acclaimed supernatural fantasy adaptation of a beloved DC comic series is making a comeback, but not in the way fans may have hoped. Co-developed by Neil Gaiman, Foundation creator David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg, The Sandman ended its two-season run in July 2025, concluding Dream’s story as he sought to rebuild his fractured kingdom and atone for the mistakes that had shaped his existence.
Starring Tom Sturridge as Morpheus, the King of Dreams, The Sandman was widely praised for its faithful adaptation of Gaiman’s work as well as its stunning visuals, performances, and ambitious world-building. Across two seasons, the series managed to cover the comic’s most important arcs while remaining focused on Dream’s emotional journey. Season 1 primarily adapted Preludes & Nocturnes and The Doll’s House, alongside select stories from Dream Country. Season 2, on the other hand, drew from Season of Mists, Brief Lives, The Kindly Ones, and The Wake, delivering a fitting conclusion to Morpheus’ saga.
Although the series earned strong critical acclaim throughout its run, with an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix announced in January 2025, months before Season 2 premiered, that the second season would be its last. The decision naturally disappointed many fans, who had hoped to see more of Gaiman’s expansive mythology adapted for the screen. Now, The Sandman is returning in physical form, with Amazon confirming that The Sandman: The Complete Series will be released on Blu-ray on October 20, 2026. The box set is currently available for pre-order starting at $48.99, while a DVD edition will also launch the same day, priced at $43.99.

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.
You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.
Advertisement
You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.
You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.
Advertisement
Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.
You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.
Advertisement
You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.
You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

Jason Statham didn’t take long establishing himself in 2026, as his first movie of the year hit the big screen only a few weeks into the year. Shelter won over critics and fans with some of the highest review scores of any Statham-led actioner in his career, but that didn’t translate to box office success, largely due to the film’s $50 million budget. After grossing only $54 million at the box office, Shelter has gone on to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year on both Starz and HBO Max. Statham fans have a lot to be excited about in 2027, when he returns to his role as Adam Clay in The Beekeeper 2. The film was originally supposed to be released in 2026 before being delayed to the third week of 2027.
Jason Statham will have a chance to redeem the box office failure of Shelter, though, when his next movie hits theaters later this month. Statham will star alongside Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders) in Mutiny, the new action thriller opening in theaters worldwide on August 21. Statham plays Cole Reed in the film, an unassuming man who finds himself on the run and in the middle of an international conspiracy after his boss is murdered in front of him, leaving him as the prime suspect. J.P. Davis and Lindsay Michel wrote the script for Mutiny, and Jean-François Richet directed the film — Richet recently guided Gerard Butler to one of his best performances in the 2023 action thriller, Plane. Additional Mutiny stars include Adrian Lester, Ramon Tikaram, and Lee Charles.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz Which Action Hero Would Be Your Perfect Partner? Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.
🎖️Rambo
🍸James Bond
🏺Indiana Jones

🔧John McClane
🎭Ethan Hunt

01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.
Advertisement
02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.
Advertisement
03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.
Advertisement
04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.
Advertisement
05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.
Advertisement
06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.
Advertisement
07
Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.
Advertisement
08
What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.
Advertisement
09
Every partnership has a cost. Which of these can you live with? No one comes without baggage. The question is whether you can carry it together.
Advertisement
10
It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now? The last question is the most honest one.
Advertisement
Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
Advertisement
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Mutiny, which opens in theaters on August 21.
When everyone’s favorite heartwarming sports series, Ted Lasso, finished its third season in 2023, it felt like the narrative had come to a neat end. Ted’s (Jason Sudeikis) time as coach at AFC Richmond came to an end as he made the tough decision to return to Kansas to spend more time with his son, and fans made peace with this bittersweet finale. However, Apple TV realized that, as the show continued to maintain its place in the streaming charts, there was more success to be found from their flagship show.
This past Wednesday, the fourth season debuted after three years away, acting as a soft reboot for the show. Back in Kansas, Ted has settled into life as a part-time grocery store employee and full-time loving, Fortnite-playing father. But the past is about to literally catch up to him, as Keeley Jones (Juno Temple), Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift), and Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham‘s Rebecca Welton touch down in America in the hope of enticing Ted back to Richmond to coach the new women’s team.
Simply seeing these friendly faces back on our screens is enough to please most, with the promised additions of the likes of Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), Faye Marsay (Andor), and Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane) an undeniable bonus. Audiences have been posting their positive responses to social media, but how have critics reacted to the fourth season? At the time of writing, Ted Lasso Season 4 boasts a strong 89% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, marking an 8% increase on Season 3 but falling just short of the opening season’s 92%.

Collider Exclusive · Universe Personality Quiz Which Iconic Universe Do You Belong in the Most? Star Wars · Lord of the Rings · Harry Potter · Game of Thrones · Star Trek
Five legendary universes. Five completely different visions of what the world could be — or already was. One of them is the world your instincts, your values, and your particular way of existing were built for. Eight questions will tell you which one.
🚀Star Wars
💍Lord of the Rings
🧙Harry Potter

👑Game of Thrones
🖖Star Trek

01
What gives your life its deepest sense of meaning? Every universe is built around a different answer to this question.

02
Which kind of world do you most want to inhabit? The environment shapes who you become. Choose carefully.

How do you prefer your conflicts resolved? The shape of a world’s conflicts tells you everything about its soul.

Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
Advertisement
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
Advertisement
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Advertisement
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
Advertisement
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Advertisement
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Advertisement
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.

What Have Critics Said About ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4?
Hilary Duff had three very special guests on stage with her during her second Lucky Me Tour stop at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
On Thursday, August 6, Duff, 38, brought out her daughters, Banks, 7, Mae, 5, and Townes, 2, for an NYC-style pizza party.
Duff’s daughters — whom she shares with husband Matthew Koma — brought out a pie from Joe’s Pizza during the star’s concert, joining their mom for a slice. As the girls bounded onto the stage, little Townes was seen leaping into her mother’s arms.
The Lizzie McGuire alum introduced all three of the girls to her sold-out audience at MSG, affectionately calling Mae “Mae-Mae” and Townes “Townsey Bear.” (Duff also has a son, Luca, 14, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.)

Just a day before Thursday’s concert, Duff revealed that she had been in the emergency room with Mae before her first show at the Garden on Wednesday, August 5.
“My kids are here tonight,” Duff said during Wednesday’s show, per a clip shared by People. “I can’t believe I get to show them this. We were in the ER this morning getting some stitches for my 5-year-old.”
Duff said that Mae was doing “fine” after her trip to the hospital and assured fans that “it’s all good.”
“But it’s very ‘our family-coded’ that I would be playing my first show at MSG and also be in the emergency room getting my kid stitched up,” she quipped, before telling her daughter, “Mae Mae, you’re very brave.”
The night before she brought out her daughters, Duff surprised fans on Wednesday by bringing out her ex Joel Madden’s band, Good Charlotte, for a rendition of their hit song “The Anthem.”

Duff and Madden, 47, dated from 2004 to 2006 and remain on friendly terms. Duff is also close friends with Madden’s wife, Nicole Richie.
“I have a good relationship with their whole family. We actually hang out all the time,” she said during a 2023 interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I was just in [Nicole’s] driveway, honking for her to come drink wine with us the other day. … Now, we get them to hike together all the time. And you know what? It’s lovely.”

Madden, for his part, told People in 2007, “Every girl I’ve ever dated I have respect for, and I always try to leave them [on] good terms. I don’t see the necessity to be friends with anyone you’ve dated, but definitely out of respect of the time, you have to be kind of respectful, and that’s what I try to do.”
Y’all! Ashanti had the internet paying attention this week after sharing a photo that seemed to make one thing very clear — she’s embracing this new chapter of her life. While the singer didn’t reveal much behind the post, the message she shared had fans noticing the details and reading between the lines.
In the photo, Ashanti posed in what appeared to be a bedroom setting, with a bed and nightstand visible in the background. She looked effortlessly glam with a natural face beat, glossy pink lips, gold door-knocker earrings, and a slicked-up bun styled with laid baby hairs.
The singer also showed off her golden-tipped manicure and a large ring on her finger while adding the text “Mrs. Haynes” with a black heart emoji over the image. Although Ashanti didn’t explain what inspired the post, the caption led fans to believe she was proudly showing off her married life and letting it be known that she’s happily taken.
The Internet Is Still Trying To Decode This
Fans wasted no time flooding TSR’s Instagram comment section, with many questioning why Ashanti shared the post and wondering if there was a hidden message behind it. In contrast, others were simply amazed that our girl’s face card is still undefeated.

One Instagram user @divalicious_ng said, “Who Nelly Cheating with?😂😂cuz why?”
This Instagram user @_gottabequickerthanthat claimed, “Her face card has always been valid 😍”
And, Instagram user @forever_aclassic added, “Well this is…..random 😂😂 but hey girl hey!”
While Instagram user @makinfacez commented, “She’s so Fione 🔥🔥i would give her that too lol”

Then, Instagram user @moreofmspyt shared, “Prime example of if he wants to, he will.”
Finally, Instagram user @onlyinhim said, “Let us know Mrs. Haynes 💍🎉♥️. I love it 🥰 . Keep being awesome and gorgeous 💕💍♾️”
Ashanti & Nelly said Couple Goals Only
The last time Ashanti and Nelly had the internet talking, the couple stepped out for a major celebration surrounded by some of music’s biggest names. The pair made headlines when they attended Taylor Swift’s wedding, serving coordinated looks and showing love for the newlyweds.
Nelly pulled up looking smooth in a cream tuxedo paired with a white T-shirt and chain, while Ashanti gave full goddess energy in a stunning cream beaded gown with a matching choker. After the celebration, the two shared love for the couple, with Nelly calling the event “incredible” and Ashanti saying there was “so much love in the building.”
Isabel, 30, took to TikTok on Wednesday, August 5, to answer a fan’s question on the matter after seeing Audrey’s recent post. “How do you feel about your sister-in-law saying they’re still trying to ‘save’ Roloff Farms?” the social media user asked.
Isabel candidly replied in her caption, “Honestly? It feels incredibly disappointing.”
She continued, “They have never talked to us about it. We don’t have the money to ‘save’ it but we are here, every day, showing up, working it. We tend to the plants and animals and the land of this place.”
Advertisement
Isabel, who tied the knot with Jacob Roloff in 2019, explained that her family has tried to “figure out a way to authentically save it” for four years now. “At the end of the day? You just need money,” she added.
“I just get a bad taste in my mouth that they talk about it like they would be the ones to come in and save the day when we’re here, wishing we could find a way to make it work. They never asked if we wanted to work together,” she vented.
Courtesy of Audrey Roloff/Instagram
Isabel spoke out hours after Audrey, 35, who married Jeremy Roloff in 2014, shared life updates via Instagram. “We went blackberry picking at Roloff Farms,” Audrey captioned a pic of herself holding her daughter Mirabella, 2. “A couple months ago we had the opportunity to revisit purchasing the farm but we ultimately decided not to.”
Audrey continued, “However, every time we go there, we can’t help but wonder if there is a way to still buy it through some creative means. Not necessarily live on it, but to use it for business, ministry, and/or a place for goodness and beauty to multiply. I still just have this hunch that a God might make a way.”
In June, family patriarch Matt Roloff relisted 16 acres of the 109-acre property for $2.6 million. He originally listed the land, in Helvetia, Oregon, for $4 million in 2022. That same year, Matt, 64, offered the house as a short-term vacation rental. He then took it off the market and relisted it in August 2025 for $2.8 million.

Jeremy lived on the farm with his twin Zach, brother Jacob, 29, and sister Molly, 32, as well as his dad and mom Amy Roloff. When Amy, 63, and Matt separated in 2015, she sold her half of the property to Matt.
Jeremy and Audrey previously opened up about potentially purchasing the farm in March.

“Things my February content didn’t tell you about my February,” she wrote in an Instagram recap. “Jer’s dad told the kids he was going to list Roloff Farms for sale again. It has been on and off the market over the last six years since we tried to buy it in 2020.”
The eyes of the world are currently on the theater. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which debuted last weekend, has followed in the footsteps of another Tom Holland movie, Christopher Nolan‘s epic adaptation of Homer‘s The Odyssey, in smashing box office records. Brand New Day has earned the biggest opening weekend in domestic cinema history, edging past the $357 million earned by Avengers: Endgameto take top spot. It has also already surpassed the billion-dollar mark in almost record speed and is looking to make even more history this weekend. But what if you’ve already watched Brand New Day? What should you binge this weekend? To help you decide, here’s a list of three shows you should binge-watch on Netflix.

‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ (2023–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 56% | IMDb: 6.8/10
Of the many shows returning to streaming this weekend, the most enticing on Netflix is the perfect YA replacement for the recent Paramount+ smash Dutton Ranch. My Life With the Walter Boys, often likened to Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty, follows Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) as she finds herself stuck in a tricky love triangle with brothers Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex Walter (Ashby Gentry).
The first season of My Life With the Walter Boys was one of Netflix’s best sleeper hits of 2023, with Season 2 propelled to new heights thanks to better exposure. With the series going from strength to strength, this third season is set to be the most unmissable yet, as more indulgent drama unfolds in rural Colorado. The series has already been renewed for a fourth installment.

👑 Tulsa King
⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
Advertisement
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

Video games have come a long way since their inception in the 1970s. The first video games were very simplistic in concept, owing to the limited technology at the time. Now, though, video game developers are able to craft actual narratives in their projects, coming up with a storyline and a script as if it were a movie or a play. Like any other storytelling medium, the writing can really make or break something and is a crucial part of things.
Over the years, many video games from all genres have gained critical acclaim for how well-written they are. Whether it’s because of the layered narrative, the unexpected comedy, or the story itself, there are numerous ways in which a game might exceed expectations in the writing department. These are the most perfectly written video game masterpieces of all time, in no particular order.

‘Dragon Age: Origins’ (2009)

Dragon Age: Origins is a BioWare role-playing game set in the land of Ferelden. Ferelden is faced with peril as a cataclysmic event known as the Blight begins, meaning the Darkspawn that prowl the underground network of tunnels called the Deep Roads have started reaching the surface. Their intent is to destroy the kingdoms of humans, elves, and dwarves, prompting the revival of an ancient order known as the Grey Wardens.
In this game, players can choose their origin story, with six different opening quests to choose from. Players can also choose their party members, and must strategize to create the most efficient group of fighters possible. The story feels simple, but the dialogue is fantastic. There are so many sarcastic remarks and quips you can make, and which other characters might deliver right back. All the party members have such unique personalities and are so much fun to interact with. The depth and design of the characters in this game are absolutely unparalleled, making it one of the finest RPGs ever made.

‘The Stanley Parable’ (2013)

The Stanley Parable is a walking simulator game that can be completed in just a couple of hours, all told. Or at least, the original version can. The 2022 remake added a substantial amount of content to the game. Anyway, the game is about Stanley, an office worker who gets up from his computer one day to find that the entire building is empty. He is also accompanied by an unseen narrator, who will give instructions as if he were telling someone else a story.
You don’t have to follow the narrator’s every word, though. If you decide to defy his orders, he will adjust his dialogue accordingly. The narrator’s dialogue is excellent: snarky, clever, and often hilarious, and it’s easily the best part of the game. The narrator became the driving force for why many consider this game to be a perfect example of good writing, especially in the world of video games. The story itself is one thing, but making dialogue this consistently funny is really tough to do.

‘SOMA’ (2015)

SOMA is a horror video game created by the same developers as the Outlast series. In this game, you play as Simon, a Canadian man living in Toronto who signs up for a brain experiment. He falls asleep during the procedure and wakes up centuries in the future, in a hidden laboratory miles beneath the surface of the Atlantic. Stranger still, he has a shiny new robot body that he didn’t have previously. Not knowing where he is or why, Simon must escape the facility while avoiding the corrupted robots prowling the corridors.
The game seems simple, but it has a lot to say. It dives heavily into concepts of consciousness and existentialism, leaving us with one of the most profound and jaw-dropping endings in any video game ever made. The setting is unique enough, and the horror does a good job, but the dialogue and complex story are where the game is at its best.Very few other games can inspire such a sense of existential dread as this game can. The ending will leave you sitting in silence for a while, that’s for sure.

‘Spec Ops: The Line’ (2012)

Spec Ops: The Line is actually an adaptation of Heart of Darkness, the 1899 novella by Joseph Conrad that also inspired Apocalypse Now. The original book is about Belgian colonialism in the Congo region, but Spec Ops is about American military intervention in the Middle East. Following a natural disaster, an American officer is sent into Dubai to organize the city. Instead, he implements martial law and turns the city into a war zone. Sent in to stop him is Delta Force operator Martin Walker.
The game begins like an ordinary third-person shooter, but quickly evolves into a deeply profound experience. Everything about the story is meant to horrify the player and shock them into the realities of war, unlike many video games which glorify violence. Even the loading screen tips are meticulously reasoned, posing existential questions and criticizing the player towards the end. The story emphasizes the effects of war and the trauma it breeds in individuals, critiquing imperialism. The script and story are highly detailed, all in an effort to make the game as uncomfortable as possible.

‘Batman: Arkham City’ (2011)

Batman: Arkham Citypicks up where Arkham Asylum left off. The asylum has shut down due to the incident, forcing the newly appointed Mayor, Quincy Sharp, to authorize the construction of Arkham City. Run by Professor Hugo Strange, a small section of Gotham City is cordoned off behind walls and barbed wire, serving as a mega prison for all of Gotham’s inmates. However, trouble is brewing, as is expected when all the city’s supervillains are confined together, and Batman is intent on stopping it.
The dialogue is pretty good, made better with the return of veteran voice actors Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. The side quests are interesting, and there are plenty of familiar faces, as well as some new ones. Where the game really shines is in its overall story. Batman is pushed to his absolute limits here, and the game ends with a really gutsy death scene that nobody could have anticipated. The game also bears a plot twist that makes perfect sense and doesn’t come completely out of nowhere. In fact, keen-eyed players can even figure it out in advance if they pay attention.The game’s story is masterfully crafted, dark, gritty, and everything that fans love about the Caped Crusader.

‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (2013)

Grand Theft Auto Vis an enormously popular game due to its fun gameplay, but it also excels in the writing department, especially when it comes to its single-player story mode. The plot follows former bank robbers Michael de Santa and Trevor Phillips, who reunite to continue their crime spree in an effort to save Michael from death at the hands of a cartel leader. They are aided by a young upstart named Franklin Clinton, a former gang member and talented pupil.
Grand Theft Auto V is known for its comedy, especially when it comes to Trevor Phillips, described by netizens as a sociopath who commits a lot of heinous crimes just for the heck of it. He’s a fantastic character that’s never boring to watch. The other characters are pretty good too, though, especially when it comes to Michael’s dysfunctional family and Franklin’s interactions with his friend Lamar. The writing couldn’t have been more brilliant if they tried.

‘Oxenfree’ (2016)

Oxenfree is a side-scrolling psychological thriller adventure about five teenagers living in Washington State. During the summer, they take a trip to a remote island off the coast of their hometown to spend a night or two on the beach. While there, they hear a rumor stating that portable radios tuned to specific frequencies cause strange events in certain places. They decide to test this rumor for themselves, only to unleash temporal beings beyond their understanding.
The cast of teens is very memorable, each with a distinct personality, which is made even better by their dialogue. The dialogue in this game fully fleshes out each character, reflecting a lot about their deep-seated insecurities and their hopes and dreams for after graduation. The story is complex and intricate, as well as a little bit tragic. It’s a phenomenal game with some of the most impeccable writing in the medium.

The Metal Gearseries is known for having one of the most complicated narratives in all of gaming, but it’s arguably at its best with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This game is chronologically the first in the saga, taking place in the 1960s. At the height of the Cold War, an agent of FOX codenamed Naked Snake is sent in to prevent the Soviets from constructing a nuclear-equipped superweapon known as the Shagohod.
Like the other games in the series, the game explores the individuality of soldiers and how world governments use living, breathing humans as pawns in their war machine. Though the story is more in line with science fiction rather than reality, the message remains the same. This game is by far the most emotional in the series, with a heartbreaking ending and one of the most devastating plot twists ever conceived. Snake Eater is the best that the Metal Gear series has to offer, especially in the writing department.

‘Until Dawn’ (2015)

Until Dawn is a visual novel game, so the writing has to be excellent, or else it’ll ruin the whole experience. Fortunately, the writers absolutely nailed it. The story follows eight young adults who travel to a ski lodge in Alberta, Canada, for their annual getaway. Things start normally until a masked killer begins stalking them, luring them into deathtraps and striking from the shadows. Each and every choice in this game matters and can drastically affect the fate of each character.
The writing is absolutely on point. The dialogue actually sounds realistic, which is made better by the performances of the actors, including Rami Malek. The story itself is brilliant, with a massive bombshell of a plot twist about midway through the game that floors the audience easily and is a testament to how good everything else about the game is. Considering it’s a visual novel, there isn’t a whole lot of input from the player, yet Until Dawn is stilla masterpiece for the fact that the writing keeps things consistently exciting.

‘BioShock Infinite’ (2013)
Elizabeth in Bioshock InfiniteImage via Irrational Games
BioShock Infiniteis the third and final installment in the BioShock series, though it is chronologically the first. Instead of taking players to the underwater city of Rapture, it takes players above the clouds to the flying city of Columbia. Unlike Rapture, Columbia is still thriving and populated, though many dark secrets lurk beneath the surface. The protagonist is Booker DeWitt, a detective sent to investigate the disappearance of a woman named Elizabeth Comstock.
Like the others in the franchise, Infinite is an FPS with a magical twist. Not only can players use firearms, but they can also use Vigors, which function like spells. The plot is similarly psychological to the rest of the franchise, but the game does a bit of a better job with its dialogue since you are always accompanied by Elizabeth and are rarely alone. Booker is also capable of talking, unlike the previous two silent protagonists. The story bears many twists and turns, most of them jaw-dropping, and the game goes above and beyond with its worldbuilding, both literally and figuratively. It’s one of the most well-written games of all time, period.

One of Wayne’s most popular Westerns, Tarantino feels, is among“the greatest hangout movies of all time.” While introducing a screening of the film, Tarantino recalled watching it for the first time as a five-year-old, his love only growing over the decades. It is said that Wayne made the movie as a response to High Noon, which he thoroughly despised for its cynical worldview and less-than-favorable portrayal of American society. But Tarantino doesn’t appreciate the movie for its politics; he loves hanging out with the characters, and even considers it a perfect date movie. He once told Vanity Fair that when he’s “getting serious about a girl,” he shows her the film as a compatibility test.

Here’s How Long You Have Left to Watch the Western Classic
We’re talking about the 1959 classic Rio Bravo. Directed by Howard Hawks, the movie was an instant hit, grossing over $5 million at the box office. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 96% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Rio Bravo finds director Howard Hawks — and his stellar ensemble cast — working at peak performance, and the end result is a towering classic of the Western genre.” Tarantino is now putting together what he claims will be his final feature film, but he will begin working on the project in earnest after he completes his commitments to his first stage production. Rio Bravo is currently streaming in the United States on Fawesome, but it’ll be removed from the platform on August 30.
