PlayStation is taking cues from Steam and testing a new feature that will let players see player counts for PS5 games every week.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm stole it’s biggest twist from M. Night Shyamalan

Because the new anime Daemons of the Shadow Realm is based on a manga by Fullmetal Alchemist creator Hiromu Arakawa, you can easily assume it’s going to invest heavily in kinship between siblings, a yellow-haired older brother, and an obtuse but compelling system of magic.

The result, at least for now, is players with god-like survivability as they…
