pcd BUILDS | MID-RANGE PC BUILD 001 | IIIORANZMASINOII4
The first build on a new project always carries a bit of personal weight. It sets the tone, shows the philosophy behind the hardware choices, and quietly tells readers what kind of performance and balance they can expect from the systems that will appear on pcdoorz. For that reason, the first pcd Mid-Range PC Desktop Build could only be one machine: my own daily gaming system, IIIORANZMASINOII4. This system was assembled in September 2024 after weeks of careful...

Recently I decided to pick up the ASUS TUF Gaming K1. Not as part of some planned upgrade, not because I desperately needed a new keyboard, but simply out of curiosity. A new peripheral always sparks a certain interest, and sometimes the best reviews come from those spontaneous purchases that were never meant to become reviews in the first place. Hardware often reveals its true character only after a few days of real use, far away from marketing promises...
PREVIEW | THE DEFIANT | A WW II STORY WE RARELY PLAY
In the crowded world of World War II shooters, a new voice is rising and it’s coming from a direction most Western gamers haven’t seen before. The Defiant is an upcoming first-person action shooter built around a narrative of resistance and survival on the Chinese front of World War II, particularly during what China calls the War of Resistance against Japan. Developed by Hoothanes Technology and published alongside 4Divinity, The Defiant is positioning...
Mechanical keyboards have reached a point where raw functionality alone is no longer enough. Switch quality, layout, and connectivity are now expected basics, not selling points. What increasingly defines a keyboard today is how well it understands its purpose and audience. The 8BitDo Retro 87 mechanical keyboard positions itself as a product that deliberately avoids extremes. It does not try to outgun enthusiast customs nor compete with hyper...
REVIEW | STALKER II HEARTH OF CHERNOBYL | IT NEVER LEFT US…
Returning to the Zone in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. II: Heart of Chornobyl doesn’t feel like launching a sequel. It feels closer to reopening an old wound you were never sure had fully healed. The landscape is familiar, yet distorted by time. Buildings stand where you remember them, but they feel heavier, more tired, as if the years have pressed down on their concrete bones. This is not nostalgia in the comfortable sense. It’s the kind that unsettles you, because it reminds...
The upcoming Fable is not trying to quietly slip back into relevance by leaning on nostalgia alone. This is a full reboot, a deliberate reintroduction of Albion as a modern fantasy world shaped by contemporary RPG design, current technology, and a new studio mindset. Developed by Playground Games under the publishing umbrella of Xbox Game Studios, the project immediately signals ambition. Playground is best known for technical excellence, fluid systems...
TOP GUN PC GAME | A FLIGHT SIMULATOR… BUT MUCH MORE
Every time the idea of a Top Gun game appears, it almost automatically collapses into the same narrow space. Cockpits, afterburners, dogfights, missions chained one after another, and little else. It is understandable why this keeps happening. Flying is the obvious surface-level fantasy. Jets are loud, fast, expensive, and visually impressive. But Top Gun, as a concept, was never only about aircraft. It was always about people under pressure, about ego...
