In this review, we’ll take a look at Xiaomi’s latest pair of earbuds, the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro.

A visual novel that cares more about its presentation than its writing, Venus Vacation Prism: Dead or Alive Xtreme is about as shallow as a reality television show – but it never pretends to be anything else.

Xiaomi recently released its latest Android tablet lineup, the Xiaomi Pad 7 Series. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro.

One thing you could never criticise about Coulombe’s work is that he has a great eye for detail and understanding about what “art” means in the context of video games.

Ultimately, The First Berserker: Khazan is a good time.

A Novel Run 'N' Gun/Shooter Hybrid That's Finally Affordable

Developer Rebellion branches out into the immersive sim genre with Atomfall. Does it hold up to the “British Fallout” comparisons that’s been going around?

Overall, Breakout Beyond performs wonderfully on Switch. Frame rate is solid and load times are pleasingly brisk (though instantaneous would be nice).

The developers really tried with an exceptionally difficult genre. AI Limit won’t be remembered alongside FromSoftware or Koei Tecmo’s work in the genre, but it’s also by no means a poor effort.

If you're new to streaming, you'll need a kit like this!

Bleach Rebirth of Souls is authentic to the anime, does a good job with the narrative retelling, and is meticulous at giving you all your favourite characters to brawl around with.

Its aesthetic differentiates it from the plethora of ARPG Souls-likes we've become used to, and its brilliant boss fights are engaging enough to entice you through levels that start to feel boring around the mid-way point of the game.

There was a brief period of time where the tower defence genre was a big deal and just about everyone was trying to get on board with it, right through to the biggest publishers. It’s easy to understand why – the games are relatively easy to develop, and it’s relatively easy to fill them with content. The genre has faded into the background as other things have come to the fore in the indie spaces – roguelikes, for example – but every so often something like Gnomes comes out to remind us...

In most respects, Atelier Yumia is an impressively ambitious and strong new entry for the long-running series, blazing a trail to parts unknown much like its titular protagonist.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is a wonderfully charming addition to the long-running JRPG series.

An engaging blend of life sim and detective mystery, On Your Tail has a wonderful setting and great characters. Unfortunately, the overall experience is bogged down by painful load times and debilitating technical issues.

You'll Never Need To Buy An Arcade Stick Again

Atomfall commits to embodying everything it means to be British, and it comes out the other side all the better for it.

As a long time controller fan and 8BitDo fan, I decided my first review would be about this new kid on the block: the Ultimate Mini. We look at the wired-only Xbox version, as it is the only version as of writing this review.

Though the story is compelling, the character building is satisfying, and there’s lots of content to experience, Bandai Namco’s near-nonexistent efforts to scrub out the rough edges of this 20-ish year old game definitely hold it back from greatness.
