From the moment it was announced, Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ interpretation of feudal Japan was met with immediate blowback — mostly from the West. The usual suspects were up in arms over the general identities of the protagonists, while others questioned the historical accuracy of the African samurai Yasuke, or the mere idea of having a...

Recipes in Atomfall let you craft the best consumables straight from your inventory. This method is far cheaper and more reliable than trading with the survival game’s merchants, but they can only be found in...

Firaxis Games are quickly cleaning up the messy release of Civilization VII, with more new additions now available in patch update 1.1.1.

SteelSeries is upgrading its popular Apex Pro Mini gaming keyboard to bring all the Gen 3 goodness, including rapid tap and rapid trigger, while also introducing a protection mode to reduce the risk of accidental inputs in clutch moments. In my Gen 2 SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini review, I hailed the 60% design as uncompromising thanks to the level of customization possible via accompanying software. It has since fallen behind the other best gaming keyboards largely due to new features dominating th...

Apple is on the cusp of releasing iOS 18.4, which brings Apple Intelligence to the European Union for the first time. However, iPhone Mirroring and SharePlay Screen Sharing is still missing from Apple's RC build of the operating system in the EU because of regulatory concerns. Apple this week seeded to developers and beta testers its RC (Release Candidate) build of iOS 18.4, which is meant to be a near-final version that, unless major issues are found, will be the same as the public release expe...

Apple is expected to release iOS 18.4 to the general public as soon as next week, following more than a month of beta testing. Apple's website says some iOS 18.4 features will be released in "early April," so the update should be out as early as Tuesday, April 1. Apple this week seeded the iOS 18.4 Release Candidate, which is typically the final beta version, barring the discovery of any major last-minute software bugs. iOS updates are typically released one week after the Release Candidate, and...

Anker's Eufy 3-in-1 E20 robot vacuum is $150 off right now, as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. That brings the price down to $450, which is a record low. For those averse to using Amazon, the deal is also available directly from the company. The E20 made our list of the best robot vacuums, and with good reason.

"We put all our effort into the game". Creating a brand-new IP can prove risky at the best of times, yet when Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka mentioned that Too Kyo Games' latest venture, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, had effectively plunged the studio into debt, it demonstrated just how much he and collaborator Kotaro Uchikoshi (Zero Escape, AI: The Somnium Files) believe in their vision. Launching on Switch on 24th April 2025, The Hundred Line looks to combine the visual novel ap...

When Chinese action game Phantom Blade Zero was first revealed to the world, it drew countless comparisons to FromSoftware's Souls games, to the point its director (the appropriately-nicknamed "Soulframe" Liang) had to repeatedly downplay the influence. More recently, as more of Phantom Blade Zero has been shown, it's been compared favourably to the Ninja Gaiden series for its combo-led combat. So where exactly does it sit on this spectrum?

Amazon this week is hosting a "Big Spring Sale," which includes deals and offers on everything from Apple devices to clothes, kitchen electronics, furniture, and much more. The new event is set to run through March 31, so you'll have a few days of discounts to shop, with new markdowns appearing every day.

After the ten-year reign of Inquisition, it was clear that Dragon Age: The Veilguard had some pretty big boots to fill, and while it didn't perform as well as EA had hoped, it still accumulated a sizable fan base. For those who are yet to dip their toes into the latest chapter of Thedas' ongoing saga, you can now grab the game at a 50% price cut, bringing it down to its lowest-ever price. This comes less than six months since its initial release, likely due to the game not hitting EA's expectati...

The European Commission is set to close its year-long investigation into Apple's default browser choice screen on iPhones in the EU after the company made changes to comply with the requirements in the Digital Markets Act (via Reuters). The Commission launched a non-compliance investigation in March last year under the DMA, concerned that Apple's design of the web browser choice screen could be preventing users from properly exercising their choice of alternative default apps to Safari. The prob...
