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.

Just what is it about Nazis and archeological finds? As ever in Indyland, the baddies are obsessed with getting their villainous mitts on some relic or other. This time it’s Moses’ staff. This treasure hunt is the premise for Staff of Kings, a game that has great elements – perplexing puzzles, rollicking combat, plenty ofwhip action – but is desperately thin on the ground when it comes to plot. But there’s one hidden gem at least here – Fate of Atlantis, 17 years young, is thrown in to appease older Indiana Jones fans, which it most definitely will.
