    21/05/2026 | 1h 46 mins.
    No 'GTA' trailer? No problem! Ben Lindbergh, Matt James, and Steve Ahlman dissect five big games you can play today. While steering clear of spoilers, they explore how ‘Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight’ expands on the Lego gaming formula and draws on decades of the Caped Crusader’s past; whether ‘Forza Horizon 6’ delivers on the hype surrounding the series’ visit to Japan; why ‘Mixtape’ touched a nerve in the gaming community; whether ‘Subnautica 2’ demands a deep dive in early access; and whether ‘Yoshi and the Mysterious Book’ can restore the Switch 2’s momentum after Nintendo announced a new price hike.
