When it comes to video game peripherals, I’m a wireless girly through and through. I live in headsets. I game, I snack, I pace during Discord rants. I’ve tested my fair share of wireless options over the years, and I’ve come to expect trade-offs: comfort versus range, aesthetics versus audio quality. But Logitech’s G522 wireless gaming headset charmed me by managing to nail all the essentials… and then some. Comfort Comes First (Even With Glasses) The G522 has a slightly heavier build than some other models on the market, but the weight is distributed well....

Quick Links The Bene Gesserit is one of the four available starting classes inDune: Awakening. You gain access to the Bene Gesserit trainerlastout of all the available classes, so if you’re interested in playing as one with the weirding way, you’ll probably want to pick this up as your starting class. It helps that the Bene Gesserit’s mobility and abilities that shut down strong solo target enemies help you to clear some of the early dungeons quickly, and with ease....

Quick Links Dune: Awakeninghas a fairly robust class sytem; no one class has an overwhelming amount of mechanics in it, but because you can combine skills from multiple classes together, there is an absurd amount of build potential possible. Mentats pride themselves on being able to adapt to many different situations. They’re most effective when they take time to look at a situation and prepare; in a straight-up fight they can be beaten out by many other classes, but if you give them a moment to observe their surroundings and come up with a plan, they can set themselves up for some easy success....

Trigger warning: Discussions of disordered eating.Consume Mehas been on mySteamwishlist since before I even really knew what it was about. I noticed it’d been nominated for awards at a bunch of games festivals, won some of them, and that its Steam page description said, “did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did…but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!” I did feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school!...

WhenGrounded 2was revealed at the Xbox Showcase last week, a few eyebrows were raised at the claim it would build and expand upon the world introduced in the first game. Grounded is the Big Spider Game, how much lore is there to even build on? Of course, anyone who did their time in the backyard knows there’s a lot more going on that just big ol’ bugs (or rather, normal-sized bugs and small ol’ humans)....

CD Projekt RedandStudio Triggerhave officially announcedCyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a surprise sequel to the critically acclaimed anime that first arrived onNetflixback in 2022. The first season is an incredible expansion ofCyberpunk 2077, and massive adoration for the animated series likely played a big role in the once-maligned RPG’s redemption arc. It gave fans a wonderful story and lovable characters in a video game world that still couldn’t be truly enjoyed, and so its value to the Cyberpunk brand cannot be overstated....

Death Stranding 2is almost upon us, bringing us another adventure with Sam and the gang, and another test of the PlayStation Pro’s sheer horsepower. We’ve not had many excuses to test out its capabilities since the console’s launch, what with the general lack of exclusives recently, but Death Stranding 2 is now here to blow us all away graphically. However, if you were hoping to switch on Death Stranding 2’s fancy Quality mode and really make your PS5 Pro sweat, you might be better off not bothering at all....

2025 feels like a bit of a tipping point for gaming. As bigger studios continue tocancel projects and lay off talented developers, or see theirtrend-chasing games fail, smaller games have come to the limelight. Indie titles likeSchedule 1,R.E.P.O., andPeakhave all garnered massive audiences, while games from smaller studios, such asClair Obscur: Expedition 33, have achieved critical acclaim,breaking multiple records in the process.

Dynasty Warriorsdiehards were in for a treat this past January when Koei Tecmo took the franchise in a bold new direction with theexcellentDynasty Warriors: Origins. With an emphasis on deepening the series' core combat experience and expanding the depiction of the roots and early years of what would become known as China’s Three Kingdoms era, Origins trades a large roster of playable characters for a more focused tale. As a result, it ends significantly earlier than past Dynasty Warriors installments....
