Assassin's Creed Valhalla Review
Over the years Assassin’s Creed has changed a lot. We’ve seen a variety of different characters, settings, and versions of the same game, leading to a wide variety of opinions. Following the earlier success, the series hit a slump, one that Origin turned around. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla...
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Review
When we first saw a crossover between a popular franchise and Dynasty Warriors, there were a wide variety of fears. Very few of them ended up happening and almost immediately fans were looking forward to this or that thing getting its own spin-off. Nintendo turned a lot of heads when they allowed...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon Review
Over the years Yakuza has remained one of Sega’s most successful series, resulting in seven mainline games and a couple of spin-offs. With Kazuma Kiryu’s adventure finally reaching its conclusion in the last adventure, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio hopes to find success with another outing. This time...
Destiny 2: Beyond Light Review
Perhaps Destiny’s biggest strength is that Bungie intended for this to be a long story and kept with the adventure through constant updates, expansions, and content. Over the years we’ve met countless characters, stopped multiple foes, left a mark on the universe, and proceeded to fight the...
EPOS GSP 602 Review
Perhaps the most interesting thing about sound is how different the same song can sound under a variety of conditions. Even basic things like a receiver can have a substantial impact on how the content is presented. Across our various tech reviews, we’ve looked at a wide range of products that...
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition Review
For many, the next console generation is a weird one. While the last generation ultimately was about refining the overall experience, this one seems to be about experience. We’re to the point where visuals as so impressive that is the next major leap to bring the experience to life. Each of the...
Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory Review
Some of the best ideas are things that, in retrospect, make total and complete sense. Kingdom Hearts, much like Final Fantasy, is a franchise that is well known for its music, so it makes sense that we would eventually see a rhythm game centered around it like Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory....
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Review
Over the years we’ve gotten many chances to play Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin and each time, it showed it has a lot of potentials. Good combat and a unique farming system gave it a different feel and built towards a more interesting experience. Now that we have it, it’s exciting to see just how...
HyperX x Ducky One 2 Mini Keyboard (Black) Review
HyperX surprised a lot of people when they announced a keyboard collaboration with Ducky for a unique version of their One 2 Mini keyboard. Fans of both HyperX and Ducky keyboards were excited to get this product, but the demand was so great the keyboard sold out in seconds. Seeing the obvious...
Godfall Review
Making Godfall a launch title was an interesting choice. Given the amount of replay value a loot-based game has, it suggests plenty to do, with visuals that hint at bigger things to come. Striking designs and lush worlds are, in a lot of ways, exactly what people expect and want out of this...
Aukey Pink Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (KM-G15) Review
RGB might be the current big thing in gaming, there is no denying the universal appeal. When I got my first gaming keyboard my mom flipped over the mesmerizing colors and got countless comments from people over them. As a result, there is more of a market for them than just gamers, but the product...
Audeze LCD-GX Headphone Review
I’ve written a lot of these openings and a lot of them are centered on the idea of good versus gaming headphones. One relatively common aspect has been placement. With almost every product falling in the $100 to $250 range, there is a lot of choices, options, and things to consider, but most...
Aukey RGB Gaming Mouse Pad (KM-P7) Review
When it comes to certain products, they’re far more complicated than they really should be. One such product is an RGB mousepad. Designs aside, it’s a product largely driven by size, shape and texture, yet there are options in the $150 range and others as cheap as $20. Following a revision,...
Audeze LCD-1 Headphones Review
Finding the right pair of headphones can be surprisingly difficult. There are countless companies built around weird gimmicks, broad functionality, and more that might give you a versatile product that is simply okay across the board. This has been a criticism of gaming headphones for years. With...
Ghostrunner Review
At this point it’s hard to make a unique experience. There are countless games that build off of another or take us to the same places because it’s enjoyable. Ghostrunner attempts to fight this trend by having a rather simple concept presented quite well. With a simple combat system that is...
HyperX Cloud Stinger S Review
Generally speaking, there are certain features that are viewed as premium and appear on higher-end models. A couple of years ago that was wireless, but that has since moved to things like virtual 7.1 surround sound. While these are sought after features, a lot of people simply don’t want to...
HyperX SoloCast Review
Due to a growing number of streamers and work/school from home situations brought on by COVID-19, people have been looking to things like webcams and mics. Prior to this HyperX released their popular QuadCast mic, which had a lot of flares, something they brought to another level with the QuadCast...
Watch Dogs: Legion Review
The appeal of high concept games is giving players a new type of experience A focal point of Watch Dogs: Legion is how it is designed around a living world of sorts, you can build your own team and do just about anything. Old lady hacker that defeats some young ruffians or punk girl looking to do...
Wonder Blade Review
Certain games and experiences are so closely related to specific games that it’s hard to look past them. Very few see The Surge as its own thing beyond being Soulsborne clone, just like Nexomon: Extinction never made it past something that is reminiscent of Pokemon. This is easier for games...
Mad Rat Dead Review
Some of the best and worst games are unique experiences. There is just something to be said about a game that manages to stand out and redefine how exactly we view a genre. In a lot of ways, this is how I see Mad Rat Dead. It’s a rhythm game, crossed with a platformer, that attempts to blend the...
ModMic USB Review
Gaming headphones tend to live and die based on features over sound quality. Even in terms of what people are looking for, it’s usually a product that checks the three, price, features and quality, boxes, and typically in that order. Like most all in one product, there are very few gaming...
Onee Chanbara Origin Review
Onee Chanbara has a rather interesting history. Originally it released as part of D3 Publisher’s Simple series of budget games. These games were meant to be simple takes of a wide variety of games, though there were a few standout titles. Things like Demolition Girl stood out for its absurdity,...
Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods: Part 1 Review
Unlike most games, it’s clear id Software had a clear idea of where they wanted to go with Doom Eternal’s first expansion. Simply titled The Ancient Gods, with a note indicating this is the beginning of something larger, it gives players a sense of what they’re doing and how this...
