Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

An ambitious, albeit flawed attempt at a feudal Japanese sandbox game. Set within the fictional kingdom of Amana during the Sengoku period, Way of the Samurai begins in the midst of a war between rival samurai clans. Cleverly, which side you fight for – if any – is up to you, the game adapting to the player’s decisions. Unfortunately, this approach is tempered by shallow sword-fighting and unimpressive looks, leaving the suspicion that this one was rushed out to hit the shops.
