[ad_1] Being a samurai game, you’re going to be slicing and dicing your way through enemy crowds using the Sakai family’s heirloom katana but your wakizashi won’t spend much time in its sheath either. It’s your primary tool for stealthily assassinating unwary Mongols. This duality plays into one of the game’s larger themes. At the […]

Sony Xperia 1 ii review: Sony’s best phone in years
[ad_1] Lots of cameras, even more control The Xperia 1 ii has a handful of cameras on its back, and it’s worth working through them in order: At the top is a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture and phase detection autofocus. It captures a 124-degree field of view with the equivalent of a […]
Spirit Dot 2 and Spirit X2 review: Anker’s impressive $80 earbuds
[ad_1] Smaller is definitely better. In general, the tiny earbuds are more comfortable. They’re usually lighter and they fit better in your ears without sticking out too far. However, the compact stature gives companies less room to work with components, and sometimes this leads to sacrifices in audio or features. That’s not the case with […]
Technics EAH-AZ70W true wireless earbuds review
[ad_1] Billy Steele/Engadget Like most flagship wireless earbuds, the EAH-AZ70W connects to a companion app for additional features. The software displays the battery level for each bud individually and offers access to Ambient Sound Control and Sound Enhancement — the EQ and audio profiles. With the former, the app gives you sliders for both ANC […]
Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook review: The best budget-friendly Chromebook
[ad_1] I was pleasantly surprised with the Flex 5 once I was logged in and putting it through my normal routine. Lenovo seems to have hit the sweet spot of specs and price, making a Chromebook that has nearly the same performance as more expensive models while keeping the price affordable. The combo of Intel’s […]
Dell XPS 15 review (2020): The ideal 15-inch laptop for creatives
[ad_1] I’d wager you won’t feel so bad about losing ports when you see just how fast the XPS 15 is. Our review unit featured Intel’s eight-core i7-10875H CPU, NVIDIA’s GTX 1650 Ti, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. You can configure it all the way up to the super-speedy Core i9 with 64GB […]
Lego Super Mario is a charming attempt at real-life ‘Mario Maker’
[ad_1] Once you’ve built a course, the Lego team hopes you’ll play through it. Place Mario on the Start Pipe and a 60-second timer will appear on his abdomen. You also hear the classic Mario theme tune through the minifigure’s speaker, emphasizing a new run has begun. Your goal is to get through the level […]
‘The Last of Us Part II’ is as brutal as it is daring
[ad_1] Fortunately, the many upgrade systems have been significantly enhanced, as well. As in the first game, you can craft a variety of weapons like molotov cocktails and bombs; you’ll also find “training manuals” that unlock more skills for Ellie. But the skill tree is far more complicated than the first game. There are a […]
ASUS ZenBook Duo review: A dual-screen ultraportable with compromises
[ad_1] As you’d imagine, the ZenBook Duo instantly stands out from every other notebook when it’s open. But it’s another story if you’re not actually looking at the screens. ASUS is still relying on its metallic ZenBook case design, which is sleek and smooth to the touch. Its matte finish gives off an air of […]
Razer’s Kishi is the Switch-style phone controller I’ve been waiting for
[ad_1] The Kishi’s analog sticks are almost identical to those on a Switch Joy-Con. They’re large enough for my tiny hands, but I suspect some will prefer the heftier sticks found on Sony’s DualShock 4 or the Switch Pro controller. Unlike Nintendo’s Joy-Cons, they have a convex top that makes them slightly easier to click. […]
