Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. 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.
