Silver Pines and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Reviews Among the Week’s Highlights

Here’s a quick roundup of our entertainment industry coverage from last week.

• Silver Pines review: Twin Peaks for gamers. There’s plenty of walking, monster fighting, and puzzle solving to do. The challenge is keeping your sanity along the way.
• Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 anime review: It’s hard to follow a masterpiece. Studio TRIGGER takes us on another dazzlingly beautiful and ruthless tour of Night City.
• Valor Mortis review: A first-person look at ravaged France. The game is an interesting experiment that offers a new perspective on the familiar soulslike formula, quite literally. Players face its challenges through the protagonist’s eyes.
• Minecraft Dungeons II review: Soulless clicking instead of a sandbox. It’s a decent action game, but not one you need if you were hoping to mine and craft in a blocky world.
• Machenike Star 17 Pluto-A review: A 17-inch gaming laptop. Chinese company Haier Group offers several laptop lines under the Machenike brand, some of which we’ve covered before.
• What to play in November 2026: Grand Theft Auto VI and a few other games, for anyone waiting for something besides Rockstar’s new project.
