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.

Your support makes all the difference.

As action RPGs go, Rise of the Argonauts, inspired

by the legend of King Jason’s quest to find the

golden fleece, is a bit on the slowside, thanks to

the extremely long-winded dialogue that bogs

down the whole affair unforgivably. After a shaky

start, things soon settle down once the combat

kicks off and Jason has an arsenal of spears,

swords and shields at his disposal. Fighting is

simple to pick up, switching weapons is a breeze,

and you can improve your abilities by sucking up

to various deities. There’s a great game here

struggling to get out.
