Monster Train 2 has pulled into the station, and I'm thrilled to be climbing aboard for the ride. Developed by San Francisco-based indie studio Shiny Shoe, this video game follows their incredibly popular and highly addictive roguelike deckbuilder released in 2020, which had players defend a train headed to reignite the extinguished heart of Hell.
The sequel has you boarding a hellish locomotive once more, defending the Pyre on top from waves of enemies across the vehicle's three vertical levels. However, rather than barreling down to the deepest circles of Hell, Monster Train 2 has you ascending toward Heaven. And rather than battling angelic armies, you're fighting alongside them to take on a new enemy: the otherworldly Titans.
SEE ALSO: 'Monster Train' sequel announced, with surprise demo out nowI've played around 40 hours of Monster Train 2 on PC so far, and fully expect that number to increase at a socially unacceptable rate. As a fan of the original game, I was curious as to how Shiny Shoe would tackle its follow-up. The answer? Significant quality of life improvements, a fresh collection of varied clans, and new mechanics offering more gameplay possibilities.
Monster Train 2 is everything players loved about Monster Train, but dialled up to 11.
Monster Train 2 pulls up with new clans, features, and quality of life changesLike Monster Train, Monster Train 2 engages players in runs of turn-based battles, playing cards to place units and cast spells across the train's three floors. Cards deplete the renewable resource Ember, which replenishes at the start of every turn. Each run begins by choosing to base your deck on any combination of two clans, which are card sets that share themes and mechanics.
Between battles, players gradually accumulate more cards to strengthen their deck for the next fight, choosing between two train tracks with different shops and events. Combined with empowering artifacts and card upgrades players also gather along the journey, Monster Train 2 offers practically endless combinations that mean no two runs are the same.
Credit: Shiny ShoeRather than simply returning to Monster Train's familiar original clans, Monster Train 2 introduces five new ones: the angelic Banished, draconic Pyreborn, magical Luna Coven, mushroom-based Underlegion, and madly scientific Lazarus League. Not all are available at the outset, but are gradually unlocked as you play through runs and fulfil easily met criteria. Each clan has mechanics specific to them, which players can combine to discover powerful synergies.
It's deeply satisfying to find fresh strategies, exploring and experimenting with how these mechanics interact to stack up damage and efficiently dispatch your enemies. It's also deeply satisfying to simply find one great strategy and stick to it, repeatedly demolishing your enemies like a bulldozer aggressively reversing through a condemned building.
Personally, I love the Underlegion and their aptly named Funguy units. The clan's spawn mechanic causes stacks of these mushrooms to pile on top of each other, creating a single gigantic unit. Arm it with equipment from the Lazarus League for an extra boost, and you can end up with an extremely powerful and functionally immortal large mushroom son.
Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableMonster Train 2's changes also go far beyond new clans to play. The changes are immediately apparent from your first run, which starts with a new deployment phase during which you place your units before enemies arrive.
The aforementioned equipment card types are a fun addition, typically played on your units to give them a boost such as additional attack power or multistrike. Room cards are another fresh element, applying an effect across an entire floor — one of my favourites spawns a new Funguy whenever a unit dies. You can even unlock different Pyres with various effects; one may give units a random upgrade while another could let you restore your units' health once per battle, adding a new variant to consider when choosing your loadout at the start of a run.
All of these additions add new strategy considerations and deckbuilding possibilities to Monster Train 2 without being overwhelming, enriching the original's already excellent gameplay. It's different enough to make the sequel worth picking up, while still offering the same engaging experience that hooked fans the first time around.
Credit: Shiny ShoeMonster Train 2 further adds quality of life changes, the most significant of which is the ability to restart a battle. Previously, savvy players of the original Monster Train had to exit to the game's main menu if they wanted to start a botched battle again. Now, Shiny Shoe has turned this loophole into a much appreciated feature, adding a dedicated in-menu option to restart a fight if things aren't going your way.
On top of this, Monster Train 2 has also added a button allowing you to only restart your turn, so you don't need to redo an entire battle if you accidentally equipped the wrong unit. It does take a tiny bit longer to load than I'd like, but it's still worlds better than having to start a battle all over again.
Monster Train 2 is derailed by plot Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableThough Monster Train 2 has many upgrades, sadly not all of its new additions are enhancements.
Player's mileage may vary regarding the tie-ins to other popular indie games such as Cult of the Lamb, Balatro, and Inscryption. Characters from these games can show up in events throughout a run, which are fun Easter eggs for those familiar with these titles, but they do make the world of Monster Train 2 feel less coherent.
This leads into Monster Train 2's most glaring issue, which is the game's new attempt to focus on worldbuilding and plot. Unfortunately, it merely serves as an irritating distraction. Short, dull cutscenes in between runs slow the pace, utilising static card art to illustrate empty, exposition-filled conversations between the various clan leaders. The writing for these paper puppet scenes is sadly uninspiring, relying heavily on shallow cliché and contrived scenes in an attempt to conjure the thinnest illusion of substance. Fortunately, these segments are at least fairly infrequent and brief.
Monster Train's appeal has never been in its story. The scant plot merely served as transparent scaffolding to justify the gameplay, as actually thinking about it for more than two seconds would open up a plethora of issues. Despite this, Monster Train 2 insists on attempting to dive deeper into its shallow lore, unfortunately cracking its head against the pool floor. The game would be much better served if it forewent these plot elements altogether and focused on what it excels at: engaging gameplay.
Monster Train 2 is a delightful return for fans of the originalThe plot and writing do Monster Train 2 a disappointing disservice. Still, at least one cutscene sets the stage for a thrilling moment servicing fans of the original Monster Train.
Beware: Spoilers below.
Credit: Amanda Yeo / MashableOnce you've reached certain requirements, a cutscene depicts the glorious return of the original clans from Monster Train, adding almost all cards from the first game to Monster Train 2. We're talking the demonic Hellhorned, plantlike Awoken, spellcasting Stygian Guard, gluttonous Umbra, and undying Melting Remnant. The gang's all here (which is also the name of the Steam achievement for unlocking them).
Well, almost the entire gang is here. The Wurmkin from Monster Train's Last Divinity DLC haven't shown up, though there's always the possibility that they'll make a fashionably late entrance in future content.
Nonetheless, it was undoubtedly exciting to see these familiar clans once more. Though I'm still working on unlocking everything, the clans appear to play exactly as they did in Monster Train, with exactly the same champions, cards, and mechanics. This opens up an enormous wealth of combinations and strategies to play with, bolstering Monster Train 2's already vast options. For example, the Luna Coven can boost the Stygian Guard's spell power, while stacking armour and attack power from the Banished works well with the rage-fuelled Hellhorned.
It's a fantastic inclusion for fans of the original, and allows those less familiar with the franchise to try out Monster Train's clans and mechanics as well.
Credit: Shiny ShoeMonster Train 2 is an engaging game for fans and newcomers alike, with plenty to dive into for everyone. Just like its predecessor, it’s easy to boot up a quick game — and also easy to lose hours playing just one more run. Overall, it's a fun, engaging game that's well worth picking up. Just consider skipping past the cutscenes.
Monster Train 2 is available now on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Samsung is upping its foldables game.
In a somewhat vague press release on Wednesday, the company announced the "next chapter of Ultra," which apparently means the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra is going foldable. Or is Samsung Galaxy Z Fold going Ultra? We're not sure.
SEE ALSO: Samsung issues urgent warning to activate Galaxy anti-theft featuresAccording to the company, its customers demand "an Ultra-experience that goes beyond a simple list of upgraded features in a smaller and more portable form factor." The press release goes on to describe a foldable phone with a "powerful camera," and (of course) "seamless AI integration," without delving into details.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.So, what do we really know? Well, Samsung is launching a foldable Galaxy Ultra phone this summer, probably in July. Judging by the teaser video, it's going to be a large, vertically foldable device, so think a successor to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It's unclear whether the Ultra moniker simply means it will be a more powerful Galaxy Z Fold, or will the phone differ from Samsung's foldable flagship in other ways.
Thanks to rumors, we do know a little bit about Samsung's upcoming foldable, though. One recent report claimed that it will be extremely thin, at just 8.2 millimeters folded. We've also heard that it will have a 200-megapixel main camera, a new under-display camera, and a 4,400mAh battery.

The End Of the Financial Year (EOFY) is almost upon us. For many, it conjures images of sorting through receipts, fumbling through tax terminology, and the sweet relief of a tax return. But while you’re busy wrangling your finances, have you considered another crucial aspect of your fiscal year? Your digital well-being.
Just as you meticulously track your expenses and investments, now is the perfect time to also take stock of your online security. Whether you've got a family at home or you're running a small business, our devices are the gateways of communication, commerce, and connection. And as so, it needs robust protection. This EOFY presents a perfect time to conduct a thorough assessment of your digital security.
So read up on our tips, and have a think about whether or not you’re currently doing your digital due diligence!
Essential digital security for familiesModern households with multiple connected devices are big potential targets for cyber threats. Diverse online activities such as social media, education, gaming,entertainment, and financial transactions necessitate a comprehensive approach to digital safety.
Secure Your Devices: Each connected device in your home network can be a gateway for cyberattacks. Ensure all devices, including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles, have updated operating systems and security software installed. Regularly review the security settings on each device.
Parental Controls: The internet offers numerous benefits for children but also exposes them to risks. Utilise parental control features available on your operating systems, routers, or third-party software to filter inappropriate content, manage screen time, and monitor online activity. Most importantly, educate kids about safe online practices.
Backup Important Data: Irreplaceable digital assets like family photos and important documents should be backed up regularly to a separate, secure location. Consider using a combination of local external drives and cloud-based backup services to protect against data loss from hardware failure or cyberattacks.
A secure digital environment is crucial for business continuity and the protection of sensitive data for small businesses. You need to get ahead of things, proactive security measures are vital.
Strong Authentication: Protect access to your business systems and data by using strong, unique passwords for all accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible, adding an extra layer of security beyond just a password.
Secure Your Network Infrastructure: Ensure your business Wi-Fi network is secured with a strong password and the latest encryption protocols (e.g., WPA3). Consider segmenting your network to isolate sensitive data and limit the impact of a potential breach. Regularly update your router's firmware.
Educate Employees on Cybersecurity: Human error is a significant factor in many security incidents. Conduct regular training for employees on topics such as identifying phishing emails, creating strong passwords, handling sensitive data, and recognising social engineering attempts.
Develop an Incident Response Plan: Prepare for the possibility of a security incident by creating a plan outlining the steps to take in case of a breach. This plan should include procedures for identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from an attack.
Regardless of whether you are a family or a small business, consider these general tips as part of your EOFY digital check-up:
Review Software and App Permissions: Take some time to review the permissions granted to the software and apps installed on your devices. Revoke access that seems unnecessary or suspicious.
Update Everything: Ensure all operating systems, software applications, and firmware on your devices are up to date. Updates often include critical security patches that address known vulnerabilities.
Be Vigilant Against Phishing: Exercise caution when opening emails, clicking on links, or downloading attachments from unknown or suspicious sources. Phishing attacks are a common method used by cybercriminals to steal sensitive information.
Consider a Security Solution: Evaluate the benefits of a comprehensive internet security solution that provides features such as antivirus protection, firewall, anti-phishing, and potentially a VPN for enhanced privacy. For most everyday uses, can recommend Bitdefender Total Security.
Bitdefender offers a range of security products tailored to different budgets and needs:
Bitdefender Total Security: A comprehensive solution providing cross-platform protection for multiple devices. Includes limited VPN traffic (200 MB/day/device) for basic privacy enhancement.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Hulu dropped a trailer for Call Her Alex, a docuseries centered on Alex Cooper, the wildly popular host of the podcast Call Her Daddy.
And the Daddy Gang — as her fans are known — is likely to love this two-part docuseries. The trailer features behind-the-scenes moments with Cooper, intimate childhood footage, and interviews with family. There's even a moment with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, whose company initially helped Call Her Daddy become a major brand.
The trailer seems to set up a hagiographic doc celebrating Cooper's impressive rise to global stardom, with only a passing reference to her highly publicized and controversial split with former co-host Sofia Franklyn. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, we learn about Call Her Daddy's history.
All episodes of Call Her Alex will be released on June 10 on Hulu.
