Return to Silent Hill may have flopped, but another horror game adaptation is getting raving reviews

Iron Lung movie

Return to Silent Hill came out last week and, unfortunately, failed to captivate the magic of the original film despite its truth-to-source approach. While that was a bummer for fans of horror games, another film hit the market. Markiplier’s Iron Lung, adapting the eponymous indie horror title, came out today and is getting stellar reviews from fans.

The film began its theatrical run on Jan. 30 and is already being praised by many. With a 93-percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is a nice break from last-week’s disappointment, and proof that smaller projects can still be of high quality.

Moviegoers highlighted that, despite being Markiplier’s directorial debut, the film establishes a strong, oppressive atmosphere that echoes what we saw in the game itself. The title, set in a claustrophobic submarine exploring a blood ocean in vacuous space, became a viral hit precisely due to how relentlessly heavy the pressure was (pun intended). The film, it seems, captures that perfectly.

“It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie,” one audience member said. Others hailed Markiplier’s adherence to the source material: “This is how you make a faithful movie to the game. Using the source material and expanding on the lore and story.” Iron Lung, though interesting conceptually, didn’t have much lore or world building outside of the game’s short and limited experience, and it appears the story was greatly expanded upon for the purpose of the movie.

The overarching narrative is based around a universe where the Biblical Rapture (or its equivalent) happened, snuffing out every star and planet in the cosmos and leaving it a dark, empty void. A space ship of which you happen to be a member was excluded from this catastrophe, leading everyone on board to believe they were the sole survivors. The blood ocean mentioned above is soon discovered, and you’re tasked with exploring it.

It’s a cool concept, but rather limited, so I’m happy Markiplier and his team branched it out, as that could potentially lead to new releases, movies, shows, or other multimedia projects.

Ronaldo Lima in EA FC 25 celebrating after scoring a goal

The Icon Swaps program has returned to Ultimate Team after several years of absence, and FC 26 players can obtain some amazing rewards for free of cost.

EA Sports will be releasing 20 tokens in total for you to obtain and exchange them for rewards. The rewards include special Icon cards, repeatable packs, and evolutions. Let’s look at the best reward combinations you can pick from.

Best Icon Swaps rewards to pick in FC 26

As of writing, 10 of the 20 Icon Swaps tokens are available. Grinding them separately will take a lot of time. However, we have a shortcut for you to reduce the grind as much as possible. That said, obtaining all the tokens won’t be easy. We also don’t know what the conditions for the remaining 10 tokens will be in the future.

There could be secret tokens in the future as well, but not everyone will manage to get every token. The table below has the best rewards combination you can opt for. The choices are based on my judgments, and I have heavily gone with the current in-game meta.

No. of TokensRewardsReason
420 84+ Rare Gold Players Pack (Two Times)/Xabi Alonso Icon and 25x 82+ Rare Gold Players PackGreat fodder packs
5Tiki Taka+/Xabi Alonso Icon and 20 84+ Rare Gold Players Pack/15 85+ Rare Gold Players Pack and 20 84+ Rare Gold Players PackTiki Taka+ should be taken if you have a meta Icon. Otherwise, you can go for Xabi Alonso and a fodder pack, or just opt for pure fodder.
625 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack25 guaranteed walkouts are amazing.
725 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack and 25 82+ Rare Gold Players PackI don’t like Zambrotta’s icon card. Going for the guaranteed walkout pack is better.
825 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack and 20 84+ Rare Gold Players PackGambling on a campaign pick isn’t my cup of tea.
9Stoichkov/25 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack and 15 85+ Rare Gold Players PackOnly pick Stoichkov if you don’t have a meta attacker on the left wing.
10Iconic Attacker Glow UpAbsolutely fantastic evolution that will improve the attacking lineup of most players in the game.
11-13Iconic Attacker Glow Up and Fodder PacksPick the evolution and whatever fodder packs you can with the balance.
