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.

The subtitle of the latest Banjo-Kazooie outing acts as an early warning that this isn’t going to deliver the platforming action you might have been expecting.

Instead, we have a vehicular romp that sees players flying, driving and sailing through levels collecting jigsaw pieces against a beautiful, open-world cartoon backdrop. What’s really fun is that you get to build your own boat/car/helicopter in a simple-to-navigate garage, but the game’s long load times soon become a major irritant.
