We know that theres been a Squid Game-inspired video game in the works since July. Now, Netflix is announcing Squid Game: Unleashed and dropping a trailer on YouTube. The game will be available on Netflix starting December 17. The multiplayer party royale (think Mario Party) will be available for everyone with a Netflix subscription, and you can pre-register now to get an exclusive skin when the game launches. The games cartoony art style may be eye-catching, but the gameplay will be violent. Fortunately, its not excessive, and there doesnt seem to be any blood. While Netflix has made mobile spinoff titles based on famous franchises or exclusive shows for years now, it did try to branch out into AAA games. Sadly, it shut down its AAA studio, Team Blue, last month. Whether the streaming giant still has ambitions for bigger games remains to be seen. You can play Squid Game: Unleashed on Android and iOS after logging in with your Netflix account credentials. If youre interested in more Netflix games, Monument Valley 3 is a great one. Its a beautiful puzzle game and can be enjoyed without playing the previous two titles in the series. We also have a list of our favorite Netflix games if these two arent enough. These include popular dungeon crawler roguelike Hades, GTA San Andreas and Terra Nil, a peaceful strategy game.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/squid-game-for-your-phone-arrives-on-december-17-170018220.html?src=rss

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the most twisted, trippy, satisfying and deeply complex puzzle games to hit the market in years, and it's heading to a new platform. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will debut on PlayStation 4 and PS5 on December 3, joining the game's existing versions on PC and Switch. PlayStation players, prepare yourselves for mind-bending riddles in a lonely hotel that exists outside of time. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes comes from Swedish indie studio Simogo, which previously made Device 6, Year Walk and Sayonara Wild Hearts. Simogo is helmed by its two co-founders, Simon Flesser and Magnus Gordon Gardebäck, though they collaborate with other creators on each new project. Lorelei is published by Annapurna Interactive. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes presents a dramatic mystery in a grayscale world shot through with red accents, glitching and bright like the player is watching everything play out on an old surveillance feed. Most of its puzzles require mind-numbing amounts of logic and deduction, though others are solvable by pure instinct, and both types are incredibly gratifying. At the same time, a current of quiet terror underpins every scene: The hotel grounds are filled with maze-faced phantoms, the remnants of unhinged artists, memories of death and ghostly children with owl faces. Simogo knows how to make a puzzle game that David Lynch would love. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the most innovative titles of 2024, and it's nominated in the Best Independent Game category at this year's Game Awards, alongside Animal Well, Balatro, Neva and UFO 50. That's an absolutely stacked category and Lorelei certainly deserves to be there.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/lorelei-and-the-laser-eyes-makes-its-way-to-ps4-and-ps5-on-december-3-170013561.html?src=rss

Apple devices have a few things in common: theyre well-designed, solidly built and easily connect with one another. But chances are, if it bears the Apple logo, its not cheap. Thats why promos like Black Friday are always worth checking out if youre in the market for a new Apple device. Weve reviewed nearly every major release from the company over the last 20 years, including the newest products for 2024, like the AirPods 4, the M4 iPad Pro, the M4 Mac Mini and more. Some of those devices are seeing their first discounts for Black Friday and others are dipping back to the lows they saw earlier in the year. Here are the best Apple Black Friday deals we could find from retailers across the web. The best Black Friday Apple iPad deals Photo by Nathan Ingraham / Engadget The line between Apples tablets and laptops is a little blurry at this point, especially with the release of the iPad Pro this year, which (at the time) housed the companys most powerful chip. The iPad Air is our current pick for the best iPad you can buy and we were delighted by the iPad mini that came out just last month. The only problem is iPads are among the more expensive tablets you can buy. Hopefully these Black Friday iPad deals help out. Apple iPad (2021, 9th gen) for $200 ($129 off): Apple discontinued this model with the release of the new iPad Pro and Air models earlier this year. In what's likely an effort to get rid of current stock, the price is down to a new record low. The 9th generation iPad is the former budget pick in our guide to the best Apple tablets and will serve well as a casual browsing, streaming and game playing machine. Also at Amazon and Walmart. Apple iPad Pro (2024, 7th gen, 11-inch) for $899 ($100 off): The latest iPad Pro came out back in May and, notably, wa the first Apple device to sport the M4 system-on-a-chip. We gave it an 84 in our review calling it an engineering marvel and the best screen our reviewer had ever seen. Its also our pick for the best iPad for power users. The only problem is its very expensive, but this sale helps a little. Also at Amazon. Apple iPad Air (2024, 6th gen, 11-inch) for $499 ($100 off): The iPad Air is the Apple tablet we recommend for most people in our buying guide and it earned a high score of 91 in our review. It strikes the best balance between performance, price and features of all slabs in the lineup. It has an M2 chip which is really overkill for casual browsing and gaming, but will ensure that your tablet is compatible with the latest Apple Intelligence tricks and demanding games. Also at Target. Apple iPad mini (2024, 7th gen) for $479 ($20 off): This is technically Apples newest iPad overall, as the mini was just released this October right before the announcement of a few new Macs the new Pro and Air tablet came out in May along with the other iPads. In his review, Engadgets Nathan Ingraham called the mini a necessary update to the best small tablet on the market. This is a small discount, not surprising for a brand new slate. The best Black Friday Apple AirPods deals Billy Steele for Engadget Apple has four models of AirPods right now: The AirPods Pro 2, the over-ear AirPods Max and two AirPods 4, one with active noise cancellation and one without. Apple has been doing a lot of interesting things with their headphones lately, making this a good time to dive in. Though the discounts for Black Friday look to be minor, it's better than paying full price. Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) for $539 ($10 off): Apples only over-ear headphones havent had a full revamp in a few years. When the iPhone 16 came out, Apple swapped out the lightning port for a USB-C connector and introduced new colors. While the overall design and build is a bit old at this point, they still deliver balanced sound in a premium package. Also at B&H Photo. Apple AirPods 4 (standard) for $119 ($10 off): Here's a minor discount on Apples newest personal audio device. They were announced alongside the iPhone 16 back in September. There are two versions of the AirPods 4, this is the standard version without active noise cancellation. Both have a redesigned shape for a better fit and offer an open ear design (as opposed to the closed-ear shape of the Pro model). We gave them an 88 in our review. Apple AirPods 4 (ANC) for $169 ($10 off): The new buds with ANC got a respectable 86 in that same review. We noted they had pro-level features like letting you nod or shake your head to respond to Siris questions and Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. The best Black Friday Apple Watch deals Photo by Cherlynn Low / Engadget If you take steps or do a workout and youre not wearing a smartwatch, does it really count? Of course, the Apple Watch is more than a fitness tracker, its also a shortcut to your iPhone notifications, a handy Siri portal and an always-on weather forecast. Plus it tells time. While theyre not cheap, these Black Friday Apple Watch discounts should help. Apple Watch Series 10 for $349 ($50 off): Heres a new low price on the latest Apple Watch. It is our top pick for the best smartwatch you can buy and has a slightly thinner and lighter design, a wide-angle OLED panel for better viewing angles, plus all of the watchOS 11 features that Apple recently released. Also at Walmart. Apple Watch SE for $189 ($60 off): Apples budget smartwatch hasnt had an update since 2022. There were rumblings that wed see an update with the launch of the Apple Watch Series 10 but that didnt happen. But if you just need a reliable wrist companion for your iPhone and an accurate fitness and workout tracker, this will serve. It went as low as $170 for October Prime Day, so this isn't an all-time low. The best Black Friday Mac and MacBook deals Photo by Devindra Hardawar / Engadget Apple held a quiet Mac Week at the tail end of October in which it announced the new desktop M4 Mac mini, the all-in-one M4 iMac and the M4 MacBook Pro laptop. The MacBook Air from back in March is still the model we recommend for most people Apple MacBook Air (2024, M3, 13-inch) for $899 ($200 off): Apply the coupon to get the full deal on the latest MacBook Air. It's our top pick for the best laptop for most people, and this model has 16GB of RAM built in double the previous base amount so it can tackle the demands of the burgeoning Apple Intelligence. Also at B&H Photo, no coupon required. Apple MacBook Air (2022, M2, 13-inch) for $800 ($200 off): The previous MacBook Air has a (still very fast) M2 processor and its our previous pick for the best overall laptop for most people. This is the 13-inch model with 16GB of RAM. It's previously gone as low as $749, so this isn't an all-time low. Apple iMac (2024, M4, 24-inch) for $1,150 ($148 off with coupon): Apple just released the refreshed iMac last month, but now the silver model is already on sale. It has the latest Apple silicon, the M4 system on a chip that gives it a speed boost and enables the new Apple Intelligence features in macOS Sequoia. Also at B&H Photo. for $100 off. Apple Mac mini (2024, M4) for $549 ($50 off): Use the coupon to get the full deal as this is a first-time low on Apples $599 example of good things, small packages. The five-inch by five-inch box can tackle some serious workloads and remains the most affordable entry point to accessing Apples latest silicon. We gave it a solid score of 90 in our review, praising the incredibly fast M4 chip and useful ports. Apple MacBook Pro (2024, M4 Pro, 14-inch) for $1,400 ($199 off with coupon): The main update Apple gave to its most powerful laptops is the faster than ever M4 chip. Not much else changed, but thats not a bad thing as the Pros are excellent machines that we recommend to pro users. They have enough power to handle even the most demanding video, audio and any other productivity tasks you can throw at it. The best Black Friday deals on Apple gear Apple Apple AirTags (four-pack) for $73 ($27 off): These are the Bluetooth trackers we recommend if you have an iPhone. They allow you to keep track of your keys, wallet and other belongings using the Find My app and nearly every other nearby iPhone. Note that youll need an AirTag holder or case to use them with your keys and a new generation is rumored for next year. The record low for the four pack was $70 which we saw earlier this month, this deal is a few dollars more. Also at Walmart. Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($30 off): Its true that you may need a roadmap to help you figure out which stylus is compatible with which iPad. The Pro is the newest Apple Pencil and itll work with the newest iPad Air and Pro models and adds haptic feedback, squeeze and barrel roll movements to the mix of features. The all-time low was $90, but this is still a decent deal. Also at Target. Apple Pencil (2nd gen, USB-C) for $69 ($10 off): The USB-C Apple Pencil was released late last year and effectively serves as Apple's "budget" stylus. It works with the widest range of Apple tablets, though not all of them so check before you buy. This is about $4 more than the all-time low. Also at Walmart.
