Well, Epomaker is one of the leading keyboard manufacturers, but is one of their more impressive offerings, and it is rather for an odd reason. The segment is reaching a point where there is little to innovate; however, with the Carbon60, Epomaker basically opened up competition in a new space, which is "carbon-fiber" made keyboards. Epomaker Carbon60 Keyboard: Compact & Low-Profile Design, Gateron Low Switches & Bare Minimum Weight When you look at portability with keyboards, it is something that doesn't co-exist together, given that in order to get your keyboard to move with you, consumers often need to compromise […]

There's no doubt in the fact that Epomaker is a leading keyboard manufacturer, offering one of the best product lineups, ranging from full-sized keyboards, all the way to 65% designs, and they manage to nail every single one of them. Now, with Epomaker's Magforce 68, the company has been able to integrate compactness, design, and quality all in a single package, and this particular keyboard is what I would call one of the best options out there if you are looking for something "small."

The Talos Principle is one of video game's most well-known happy accidents. Before its release, players knew developer Croteam for their Serious Sam games. Each Serious Sam game couldn't be any further from the kind of game that The Talos Principle is. That's why it was no surprise to me when I learned that development for The Talos Principle began as development for a new Serious Sam game. Basic puzzle elements featured in The Talos Principle were conceived as a way of navigating the war-torn world of Serious Sam and eventually morphed into what became the 2014 puzzle game. More […]

Since December, or more accurately, since the release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, there’s been a feeling that Xbox has turned a corner for the better. Following up MachineGames' excellent Indiana Jones adventure was Obsidian, with a more than solid outing in Avowed. Which, in a few days from the time of publishing, will be followed up by Compulsion Games’ latest, South of Midnight, which hopes to keep that momentum going. South of Midnight is the third game in the studio’s history since its founding in 2009 and the first full game the team has made primarily under […]

Cougar's Airface ECO was showcased at Computex last year and introduced it officially last month. The Airface ECO is an iteration of the Cougar Airface RGB that looks quite identical from the outside but Cougar did quite several changes in the interior, allowing the ECO variant to bring a distinguished design to the table. I have been always a big fan of such designs but when it comes to functionality, it can't be compromised no matter how the case looks. Having rebuilt my systems in multiple cases in the last 10 years, transitioning to the Airface ECO RGB has shown […]

Dungeon & Fighter, or Dungeon Fighter Online, is one of the most played video games of all time, having managed to even surpass massively popular games like League of Legends in terms of gross revenues at times, but it is not a well-known game in the West. Starting with the fighting game DNF Duel, Korean developer Neople, however, has decided to try and bring in more people to their franchise with multiple titles set in the Dungeon & Fighter Universe, such as The First Berserker: Khazan, an extremely competent action role-playing heavily inspired by the first few entries in FromSoftware's […]

Atomfall is a game that came out of nowhere for me. I was browsing Steam a few weeks ago, having taken a little break after the gaming marathon of Civilization VII and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and there it was: a post-apocalyptic game set in Britain. Considering I'm from Britain and have been to where this is based—that being Windermere—and I love Metro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Fallout, and other similar games, it was a no-brainer. With people running around in masks, battering innocents to death with cricket bats, or using a shiv to watch the life bleed out of them as they […]

The DDR5 memory segment has been seeing a lot of action as it gets standardized across all PC platforms. With memory prices dropping and the latest platforms becoming affordable, memory makers are offering new solutions constantly.

Since the arrival of DDR4 memory in the mainstream market, TeamGroup started a separate line of DIMM kits under their new T-Force brand. The T-Force brand is the more enthusiast and gamer-aimed memory series with a sheer focus on quality and performance. More recently, the company started rolling out its […]

The Assassin's Creed series may no longer have the luster it had with the games starring Ezio Auditore, but there's no denying that there's still no video game series like it. While the stories featured in many installments may not be one hundred percent accurate to the time period they are set in, the ability to explore some of the world's most incredible places while getting to interact with real historical figures is something that very few games can offer at this quality level. With the introduction of role-playing game mechanics, some of the uniqueness of the series was inevitably […]

Xenoblade Chronicles X has long been the black sheep of Nintendo and Monolith Soft’s ambitious JRPG franchise, partly because it opts for a harder sci-fi setting than the rest of the series, partly because it simply had the bad fortune of being released on one of Nintendo’s least successful platforms. Thankfully for hardcore fans, Nintendo is now crossing off one of the final boxes on their “Wii U ports” bingo card with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Does this tuned-up version of Xenoblade Chronicles X soar to new heights? Or is this Skell destined to crash and […]

Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved sandbox games that allowed you to manage large areas or populations. Whether it was Theme Hospital or SimCity 2000, a lot of time was spent playing those games. As someone who loves going to museums, big or small, I knew immediately that I had to play this game, and I'm so glad I did. Truly, you can't go wrong with any of the Two Point games, but Two Point Museum excels in areas that other sandbox titles do not.

Back in the late 90s, after releasing some amazing games like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger, Squaresoft was the undisputed king of Japanese role-playing games. The publisher's dominance in the genre, however, did not stop other Japanese publishers known for releasing some absolute bangers in other genres from launching their own takes on the genre, like Konami, which released the first entry in the Suikoden series back in late 1995 in Japan. While the game directed by Yoshitaka Murayama wasn't particularly different from most traditional JRPGs, it set itself apart from the competition by tackling some pretty mature themes […]

Despite running since 2004, it took the Monster Hunter series multiple installments to reach the level of popularity it enjoys today, and that's largely due to the much-improved accessibility. Much like the first entries in FromSoftware's Souls series, the early Monster Hunter games had some obscure mechanics that weren't properly explained in-game and required some experimentation to properly grasp. Since 2018's Monster Hunter World, however, making the series more accessible has become one of the main focuses, an effort that has paid off immensely, as working on making the franchise more accessible to newcomers also addressed some of the series' […]

The aesthetic of this game also really pulled me in. I love games that have that retro feel and are full of neon vibrancy that is reminiscent of the 90s.

Around four and a half years (the standard time to develop a triple-A game nowadays) after The Outer Worlds, Obsidian is back with Avowed. Like The Outer Worlds, this is an action roleplaying game, although the setting is fantasy rather than sci-fi. Indeed, Avowed takes place in the world of Eora, which the most devoted fans of the California-based development studio will already know from the Pillars of Eternity games. Those were crowdfunded isometric cRPGs, though, while the game that's being released now is a triple-A title that targets a very different audience. It also comes with much higher expectations […]
