The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Review
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit may not be particularly adventurous, per se, but it has heart on its side. This free Life is Strange prequel episode centers on the relationship between a wonderfully imaginative boy and his emotionally withdrawn father, but for all the depth and humanity of its storytelling it lacks enough tough challenges or meaningful decisions to make participating feel exciting.
Dontnod’s two-hour game revolves around an innocently charming nine-year-old named Chris Erikson and his imaginary alter ego Captain Spirit as he copes with the death of his mother. The father-son dynamic is the emotional center of the story and certainly succeeded at moving me; Chris’ father, Charles, clings to his basketball glory days and his beer and vents his sadness by yelling at Chris and leaving fist-sized dents in doors. (I happened to play Awesome Adventures soon after completing Detroit: Become Human, and the similar elements have me slightly concerned that “dads with substance abuse problems who scream at their children” is a troubling new gaming subgenre.) Though the story isn’t notably innovative, it’s engaging enough that I was never bored.

Overwatch Update Makes For Friendlier Post-Matches
The new version 1.25 update for Overwatch makes matches a friendlier place, along with a spate of balance changes and other tweaks. The biggest change comes in the form of Endorsements, a tool you can use after a match to recognize fellow players for their good teamwork, sportsmanship, and shot-calling. You can also endorse players from the opposing team for sportsmanship.
The incentives to embrace the endorsement system work both ways. Endorsing other players gets you bonus XP, and the more endorsements you get from other players, the higher your Endorsement Level will rise. You can get up to level 5, and claim rewards based on your level.
Other changes include more custom Looking For Group perimeters that let you pick among roles and team compositions, and even the new endorsement level. Career profiles also receive some new privacy settings.
Finally, Offense and Defense hero roles have been merged into a single “Damage” category. The patch notes mention a wide variety of balance changes, but the most come to Symmetra, who is now part of the new Damage role. That includes a new primary and secondary attack, new abilities, and a new Ultimate. It’s quite the overhaul.
“The goal of these changes is to move Symmetra to her new damage role and make her more flexible and viable across more areas of the game than she was previously,” said a note of developer commentary in the update. “Now that Symmetra is no longer a support hero, she is expected to be able to dish out heavy damage, and these changes allow for her to do so. She should be more powerful and interesting in more team compositions and maps, and she should also be stronger on offense and defense.”
Meanwhile, Blizzard may be teasing yet another new hero for the long-running hero shooter. All we have to go on is a suspicious-looking boulder, which very well could fit nicely into the new Damage character category.

Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer release date is August 24, which means you have plenty of time to figure out which version is right for you. For this year, PES 2019 offers tons of licensed leagues, including Danish Superliga, Portugal’s Liga NOS, Belgium Pro League, Swiss Super League, Scotland’s Ladbrokes Premiership, Superliga Argentine and the Russian Premier Liga, which is a PES 2019 exclusive. There are 9 leagues in total, which should help soften the blow regarding the news earlier this year that PES has lost the Champion’s League license to EA’s FIFA for this year’s edition.
Sicario Might Get Another Sequel–And That’s Always Been The Plan
After seeing the first Sicario film in 2015, chances are most of the audience didn’t expect a sequel as it ended on a note of finality. However, it was announced mere months later that a follow up was happening. Now, with Sicario: Day of the Soldado heading to theaters, it’s already likely this isn’t the end of the road.
Tyler Sheridan, who wrote both films, actually has a trilogy in mind to complete the Sicario tale. “From what I know, I think that Taylor Sheridan always had an idea of a trilogy in concept,” Josh Brolin tells GameSpot while promoting Day of the Soldado. “I don’t think that that was necessarily an intention from the beginning, but I just think he had those stories.”
As producer Trent Luckinbill explains, the continuation of this franchise was always dependent on where Sheridan thought the story would go. “This was a world and a landscape that he really thought he could do more with,” he explains. “So, that’s where we’re at. Certainly, with Taylor, [we] feel like we could maybe explore that final chapter if that’s where it goes. We love the characters, and we felt like after the first one we wanted to see more of them, and I think we feel the same way now.”
In fact, Luckinbill says, the wheels for a potential third film are already in motion. “If it felt organic and felt like there was a demand for it, we certainly would look at that and are having those discussions now because again this was something that Taylor really had in his mind, and there was always this concept of this was more than just one for him,” he says.
And while it’s not set in stone, by any means, the cast certainly seems intrigued by the idea of a final Sicario film. “I’d be interested to see where he takes it from here,” Benicio del Toro says. “That’s what he said, but we don’t know if there’s going to be a third. But if it does come about, I’m willing to tackle it.”
Of course, there is one person missing from the gang. After starring in the first film, Emily Blunt doesn’t return for Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Though she was initially said to be reprising her role, the actress was eventually written out of the script by Sheridan. “He felt organically that it made more sense to spend time with these two guys, these two characters, without that chaperone,” Luckinbill says. “He wanted to explore the two of them together.”
Have fans seen the last of her in this franchise, though? Possibly not, according to the Luckinbill. “We love Emily, and she’s been very supportive, and if we’re to do more, we’re already having those discussions,” he teases.
Now it’s just a matter of Gillick (del Toro) and Graver (Brolin) making it out of Day of the Soldado alive, should Sheridan and the team behind the films want to reunite them with Blunt’s Agent Kate Macer. Then again, with how much blood was spilled and the first film–and is likely to be spilled in the second–who knows if anyone survives?
Sicario: Day of the Soldado is in theaters on June 29.
