Satisfactory players may recognize some common elements with StarRupture, an upcoming solo and co-op sci-fi survival-action game from developer Creepy Jar. Both games are set on alien planets that require resource management for players to thrive. However, StarRupture's early-access trailer ramps up the danger compared to Satisfactory, as humanity has to contend with alien creatures while protecting their new home. It also reveals a new release date for the early-access version, which is now coming in January.

Near the end of July, Creepy Jar hosted a playtest for StarRupture, which attracted over 158,000 players as they explored Aracadia-7, a penal colony world where the inhabitants have their work cut out for them. Players need to maintain their colonies as well as factories for their corporate overlords, while also staying on guard for any direct threats from the indigenous creatures. But the biggest threat may be Ruptura, the talking star that gives everything on the planet its life.

According to Creepy Jar CEO Krzysztof Kwiatek, the decision to push StarRupture's early-access release to early 2026 was to give the developers more time to refine the game based on the feedback from the playtest.

Spiritfarer is celebrating its 5-year anniversary today, August 18, 2025. Below, we reflect on how the game's compassion and empathy can help influence our own lives.

When it was first introduced, Developer Thunder Lotus billed Spiritfarer as "a cozy management sim about dying," which immediately intrigued me. What's so cozy about dying, and what difference does the team see between a game about dying and a game about death? The wording seemed unmistakably intentional. Many games are, to some degree, about death--and specifically, avoiding it. But Spiritfarer not only makes dying unavoidable; it makes dying the whole point. As Stella, players ferry over a dozen characters through a purgatorial plane, waving them goodbye as they cross the Everdoor into a permanent afterlife. But it's her thoughtfulness and understanding of each passenger, regardless of the life they lived, that I find so inspiring. Stella's hospice care approach works great on the precipice of the afterlife. But we don't need to wait until it's nearly too late to express such a devotion to forgiveness.

It's Stella's job to manage the many personalities that find their way aboard her boat, helping each passenger with their unfinished business before sending their souls floating away into the warm glow of the Everdoor. Though this sounds like the setup for something so saccharine it may induce nausea, in reality, Spiritfarer doesn't shy from the much gloomier and less picturesque aspects of life. And yet, despite its flawed, hurting, sometimes even hurtful characters, it never wavers in its expressions of love and understanding, and it's that difference that helped me learn something about my own life.

After selling out earlier this summer, Amazon has restocked the Lego Icons display model based on the Royal Ornithopter from Denis Villeneuve's Dune adaptation series. The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter Lego set is on sale for $134 (was $165). This deal is also available at Target, but the set remains sold out at Walmart. The 1,369-piece Lego Icons building set for adults and collectors launched last year to celebrate the theatrical release of Dune: Part Two.

Lego Icons: Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter (1,369 Pieces) $134 (was $165)

The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter is a faithful, 1,369-piece replica of the cool helicopter-inspired aircraft. Due to its large wings, the completed build can measure up to 9 inches tall, 22 inches long, and 31 inches wide. It's closer to 6 inches tall when the wings posable wings are retracted. It also has a movable landing gear and retractable boarding ramp.

Along with the large Ornithopter replica, the Lego Dune set includes eight minifigures:

• Paul Atreides
• Lady Jessica
• Gurney Halleck
• Chani
• Leto Atreides
• Liet Kynes
• Duncan Idaho
• Baron Harkonnen (complete with his long robe)

The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter is designed as a display piece for adults, so consider finding a cozy corner in your game room or home theater to show it off. Of course, younger builds can always use it as a playset (thanks to its interactive features and multiple minifigures), but the gigantic vehicle is probably better off as a piece of home décor.

Attack on Titan: Final Season Complete Steelbook (Blu-ray)

$70 | Releases November 11

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Crunchyroll

Attack on Titan's Final Season is getting a Complete Edition Blu-ray with a collectible steelbook case. Slated to release November 11, roughly one year after Part 3 initially launched on Blu-ray, Attack on Titan: Final Season Complete Steelbook is up for preorder for $70 at Amazon.

At first glance, $70 for one season of anime may sound pricey, but Parts 1-3 initially launched individually for $65-$70 each without steelbook cases. Even today, buying the standard editions of all three parts would set you back roughly $130. Plus, because Attack on Titan's fourth and final season was split into three parts that aired over nearly three years, the Complete Steelbook Edition is by far the longest single Blu-ray release for the franchise. You're effectively getting multiple seasons of content in one seven-disc package.
