Lego Horizon Adventures: Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth

$38.24 (was $45) | 768 Pieces

See at Amazon See at Walmart

The Lego Horizon Adventures building set has received a rare discount at Amazon and Walmart. Normally $45, the 768-piece playset is discounted to $38.24 for a limited time. Based on last year's Lego Horizon Adventures video game, this building set features minifigure versions of Aloy and Varl battling Lego models of Sawtooth and Shell-Walker Machines.

Lego Horizon Adventures: Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth $38.24 (was $45) | 768 Pieces

Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth released March 1 and has largely maintained its original $45 price. Considering it comes with 768 pieces, the Horizon Adventures set was already a bargain at full price compared to many licensed Lego sets.

The buildable Machines are larger than you might expect, too. Sawtooth, for example, is 7 x 4.5 x 3 inches. Both Machines have numerous points of articulation to create different poses or to play with them like action figures. You can turn Sawtooth's neck, head, legs, and hips as well as open his jaws on both sides. Meanwhile, the Shell-Walker Machine has adjustable legs and claws. Shell-Walker also has detachable cargo pod and shield accessories.

Aloy wields her signature bow, while Varl has his spear. Each weapon can be modded with accessories representing elemental attacks--fire, chill, and shock--from the game. The playset also includes two small baseplates with miniature builds of tall reeds, a treasure chest, and a campfire.

Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth isn't the first Lego set based on PlayStation's Horizon franchise. In 2022, Lego designed an awesome 1,222-piece Tallneck based on the Machine's appearance in Horizon Forbidden West.

Unfortunately, the Tallneck was discontinued by Lego at the end of 2023. It was still possible to find the Tallneck at Amazon last year, but the retailer sold out over the holidays due to a Black Friday discount. Reseller prices have risen throughout 2025; sellers on Amazon's marketplace are currently asking $160 for the Tallneck. At face value, this price may sound too outlandish for a large Lego model designed for adults, but the Tallneck originally retailed for $90. Despite the inflated cost, Amazon's store page notes 100-plus units sold over the last 30 days.

Marvel Rivals Season 5 is a formal celebration with the wedding of one of Marvel's most iconic couples. The season adds X-Men's Gambit and Rogue, and developer NetEase has released a new cinematic trailer to tease the couple's big wedding as well as some new costumes players might expect in the Season 5 battle pass, some of which may be obtainable with Marvel Rivals codes.

Season 5: Love is a Battlefield arrives on November 14. As revealed in the trailer above, the season is themed around Gambit and Rogue's wedding, but the ceremony is interrupted by some sort of cosmic energy.

Gambit is revealed to be the first of the two new characters arriving, and he'll be categorized as a Strategist who blends kinetic energy control with his iconic playing cards. This also means Rogue will likely make her appearance a few weeks after the season's launch.

Sony has shared its latest update for investors, and it's largely good news for PlayStation 5. According to Sony, an additional 3.9 million PS5 consoles were sold in the last quarter, bringing its lifetime total to 84.2 million consoles sold since the system launched in 2020. That puts the PS5 into a virtual dead heat with its predecessor, PlayStation 4, at the same point in its life cycle.

The complete breakdown of Sony's latest fiscal quarter is now online, and its sales chart shows the remarkably similar trajectory of the PS4 and PS5 sales. However, Sony noted that it only projects 15 million additional PS5 console sales during its current fiscal year, which runs through March 31, 2025. If so, that would potentially allow PS4 to retain its crown as Sony's second best-selling console, because it sold 17.8 million systems at that point in its life.

Regardless, Sony CFO Lin Tao suggested that the PS5 may have a longer lifespan than the traditional seven-year cycle.

Lego The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 (2,500 Pieces)

$300

Lego Game Boy (421 Pieces)

Lego has officially revealed its next Legend of Zelda set, and it'll be out in 2026. While the brief teaser doesn't reveal which era or video game this new kit is inspired by, the video does suggest that we could be getting a new Ocarina of Time set. It's probably Ganondorf looming over the minifigure of Link--the little hero in green was included with the Deku Tree set released last year--and several audio cues hint strongly at this being a Lego version of the iconic Legend of Zelda villain.

Other than that, Lego is remaining quiet on pricing for this set, an exact release date, and what's inside of it. Fortunately, you can grab Lego's first Legend of Zelda kit, The Great Deku Tree, if you want to bring some Hyrule magic to your shelf.

Lego The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 (2,500 Pieces) $300

The Great Deku Tree is a massive 2,500-piece set designed for experienced Lego builders. The two-in-one set allows you build a display of the Deku Tree as depicted in Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time, and once fully assembled, it has interactive features. The Breath of the Wild Deku Tree has an animated face that can be controlled with a lever on its back, while the Ocarina of Time version has an opening mouth that reveals a Skulltula monster.

For another added video game touch, the Breath of the Wild build includes pieces to recreate the scene where Link recovers the Master Sword from its pedestal, and if you switch to the Ocarina of Time, you can build Link's little house. The set is also complemented by various minifigures of Link and Princess Zelda based on their appearances in the two games, and there are also brick-built characters like Koroks, Deku Babas, a Deku Sprout, Navi the Fairy, a Skulltula, and a Hestu with maracas instruments.

Another set to grab is the Lego Game Boy. This recreation of the iconic Nintendo handheld has a link--to the past--with the Legend of Zelda, as you get to build a Game Boy cartridge of Link's Awakening, complete with a sticker to recreate the original cartridge artwork. The Game Boy also has lenticular screen effects, with one of them being based directly on Link's Awakening.

Beyond that link to The Legend of Zelda, the Lego Game Boy is easily one of the best Lego sets of the year. It's an almost 1:1 scale replica of the original handheld--measuring 5.5 x 3.5 x 1 inches--and it perfectly replicates the small details of this classic gaming device with working buttons, volume sliders, and the lenticular screen.

Lego collectors looking to grab a few more Nintendo-themed sets are spoiled for choice lately. The Super Mario franchise has been a big focus here, and you can pick up sets like the Mario Kart Display Model, a 1,972-piece replica of Mario on his signature red kart. You'll also want to look at getting the intimidating Mighty Bowser, and while it is pricy at $270, this recreation of the Koopa King is due to be retired soon. After it's no longer available, expect prices to surge for this cool collectible.

Reanimal is an upcoming horror-adventure game developed by Tarsier Studios, the same team behind Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares II. It puts you in control of two children trying to survive and uncover the mysteries of a hostile island that was once their home. With its unsettling visuals and cooperative gameplay, Reanimal will hopefully build on Tarsier’s reputation for creating intimate and atmospheric horror.

Reanimal blends puzzle-solving, stealth, and exploration in a world filled with eerie creatures and twisted environments. You play as a brother and sister duo navigating the ruins of a corrupted island, solving environmental puzzles and hiding from monsters that seem to be shaped by their past trauma. The focus isn’t on combat, but survival--the connection between the two siblings is at the heart of the experience.

When will Reanimal be released?

As of now, no exact release date has been announced. The game is listed on Steam as “coming soon.” The development team has said it wants to emphasize quality and won't rush to a release date. However, a demo recently appeared during Steam Next Fest, which shows the game to be in a state close to fit for release, so we wouldn’t be surprised if it appears within the next few months. Be sure to check out our list of the top survival horror games to play in the meantime.

Yes, there are stability improvements, but that's not all with the new system updates rolling out for Switch 2 and Switch. The patch notes for version 21.0.0 highlight better visual clarity on the home menu for whether a game is owned physically or digitally, GameChat improvements, and a battery description alteration.

Switch 2 and the original Switch are receiving the new symbols that will "indicate whether the software is a physical or a digital version," according to Nintendo. The icons are now red like the cartridges for physical Switch 2 games, while they're black for physical Switch titles. However, in general, Switch 2 is seeing more changes with this update. For instance, GameChat should now ensure a game doesn't go to sleep while talking online with a friend. Plus, the system setting language for limiting a charge on the console now says, "Stop Charging Around 80-90%."

This is the first Switch 2 system update since version 20.5.0 released in September. That only brought about "stability improvements," something that's expected and joked about constantly in the video game community.

Sony has confirmed that Destiny 2 has fallen short of expectations, forcing the company to record an estimated $204 million impairment related to Bungie’s assets. During its Q2 FY2025 earnings call, Sony acknowledged that the popular shooter's player engagement and revenue have been weaker than anticipated since the 2022 acquisition of Bungie for $3.6 billion.

"Regarding Destiny 2, partially due to changes in the competitive environment, the level of sales and user engagement has not reached the expectation we had at the time of the acquisition of Bungie," CFO Lin Tao explained (translated via The Game Post).

Tao noted that Sony has "downwardly revised the business projection for the time being and recorded an impairment loss against a portion of the assets at Bungie." The ¥31.5 billion (approximately $204 million) impairment, combined with an additional ¥18.3 billion (about $118 million) expense tied to development cost corrections. Tao said these adjustments were necessary to reflect the game’s current performance, which has been affected by lower player activity and market competition.

Rue Valley, the isometric, story-driven RPG that looks quite like Disco Elysium, arrives today on PC, last- and current-gen Xbox and PlayStation platforms, and Switch. Though they look quite alike and both deal with some heavy themes, the specifics of Rue Valley help it stand apart.

The game tells the story of a man trapped in a timeloop where each reset changes who he will become and what he can do. Since players can bring their memories and knowledge with them across loops, you'll unlock new dialogue options and other interactions as the story unfolds.

With each loop, the player-character can be quite unlike his past or future self, said the creative team, with him acting like a "cold-hearted loner in one loop and a melodramatic loudmouth in the next." But all the while, a central mystery and the personal lives of other characters become focal points, with the team exploring some of its more serious themes through these characters.

As many video game studios continue to leverage technology in the pursuit of photorealism, developers Enhance and Monstars Inc. understand that technology can also be used in the pursuit of emotional impact. Their new game, Lumines Arise, exposes you to a display of perpetual creativity, where every inch of the screen is bathed in a cascade of visual effects that mesmerize you. It takes the foundation of a series that started back in 2004 and turns it on its head by giving it the Tetris Effect treatment, presenting a sensorial experience that's equally enchanting and confident.

Lumines has been largely dormant for the past decade. But while Arise is a synesthesia-fueled sequel, the core conceit of this popular series is largely unchanged. You're still presented with a playfield divided into a grid, in which 2x2 blocks descend from above. Each of those blocks is composed of four squares, and each of those squares is painted with one of two colors or patterns. The goal is to drop the blocks so that squares of the same pattern touch each other, combining them into larger squares of the same type--the bigger the combined square, the more points you earn.

All the while, a timeline--which is represented by a vertical line that moves from left to right with the tempo of the music--will sweep away the combined squares when it comes into contact with them. Therefore, the key is to make squares of a single type so the timeline will remove them and prevent the playfield from becoming full, which is an instant game over, while also attempting to make as many square combos as possible, either by enlarging existing ones or creating several at once. Your squares only score when the timeline sweeps through, so it's a race against the clock to make the biggest combos you can for each pass.

Take Two sent the internet into a spin last week when it announced that GTA 6--by now one of the most anticipated game releases of all time--would be delayed another six months to November 19, 2026. Insider reports suggest the delay will cost Rockstar as much as $60 million, while other reports claim the game is already "content complete," with the extra time needed for polishing and bug fixes.

Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson revealed the cost of the delay in his November 8 podcast, as reported by Dexerto. "I got a number from a developer on this, and they think this is going to cost Take Two $10 million a month extra now. So, we're talking an extra $60 million." Henderson added that it could be as much as $100 million with additional costs factored in.

While $60 million is a huge chunk of money on its own, it's a fairly insignificant sum in the context of GTA 6's projected $2 billion budget--and the game is expected to be a huge earner, propping up not just Take-Two's profits, but the entire gaming industry's.

EA has announced a $12 Lead The Way DLC pack to honor Veterans Day in Battlefield 6 and Redsec, designed in collaboration with the National Ranger Association. However, eagle-eyed players have noted fine print in the bundle image that specifies: "no portion of the Lead The Way pack sales is donated."

The DLC pack is named for the "Rangers Lead The Way" slogan and rallying cry, and EA says the pack was created in collaboration with the National Ranger Association to "ensure authenticity." The pack includes the NATO Assault Soldier Skin, Glider 96 Vehicle Skin, a weapon package, a couple of customization items, as well as an XP boost and battle pass tier skip.

While players might have expected that proceeds from the bundle would go back to the non-profit it was created in tandem with, EA instead specified that no portion of sales will be donated. Instead of donating the profits, or even a portion of them, EA made an "independent donation" to the National Ranger Association.
