REVIEW | 8BITDO RETRO 87 | RETRO, NO COMPROMISES

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 | INTEL CORE i5-13400 | REAL PERFORMANCE, NO DRAMA

The Intel Core i5-13400 exists in a space that is far less glamorous than flagship launches and benchmark headlines, yet far more important for the majority of real users. It is not a processor designed to dominate charts, nor is it meant to excite enthusiasts who live for overclocking screenshots and thermal graphs. Instead, it sits exactly where most PCs live: in the middle ground between affordability, performance, efficiency, and long-term usability. That it introduces...

REVIEW | KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE II | BRAVER, SHARPER...

A quiet shock hits you the moment you step back into 15th-century Bohemia raw, familiar, and strangely alive in a way modern RPGs rarely manage, an energy that stands apart from anything the genre usually offers. Not the heroic swell of a fantasy epic, not the polished sheen of a power fantasy, but something rougher, more grounded, more human. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes that fragile identity from the first game and pushes it further, deeper, and with far...

REVIEW | ASUS TUF GAMING GT301 | COMPACT DONE RIGHT

ASUS TUF Gaming GT301 is one of those cases you don’t fully understand at first glance. It looks like another “gamer cage” with bright fans, honeycomb holes and RGB breathing through the glass, but once you actually use it in your own build, you start noticing a mix of clever choices and a handful of things that make you roll your eyes. I’ve got this case sitting on my desk right now, I look at it every day, and honestly it’s a case I understand and question at the...

REVIEW | VGN DRAGONFLY KING | WHERE BUILD MEETS CONTROL

The VGN Dragonfly King is one of the more ambitious mice to hit the market recently marketed as the first wireless gaming mouse with a fully enclosed magnesium alloy shell, while still targeting the competitive / esports crowd. The promise: durability and solidity of metal, at a weight that allows serious gaming a balance between rugged hardware and performance focused peripheral.

REVIEW | SUBNAUTICA | THE OCEAN LEFT A MARK I WON'T FORGET

I remember the first few hours vividly. Gathering titanium scraps, clipping my scanner into place, and staring into the abyss these weren’t just chores, they were small rituals that anchored me in this alien world. The ocean wasn’t just scenery; it had mood, it had temperament, and, in its own way, it demanded respect. I crafted a flashlight, a survival knife, a habitat builder, and each new tool felt like a key to unlocking secrets the planet held. And yet, each...

REVIEW | ASUS DUAL RTX 5060TI 16 GB WHITE | WHITE & RELIABLE

A product that lives somewhere between brilliance and mediocrity carries its own strange charm, the kind that makes you hope quietly that it might just exceed its reputation. You know, that middle space where expectations aren’t sky-high, but you still secretly hope the thing will surprise you. The ASUS Dual RTX 5060 Ti 16GB White feels exactly like that kind of component. A card that doesn’t scream for attention but still walks into the room dressed in clean white...

REVIEW | TES IV OBLIVION REMASTER | THE ICON RETURNS

When Oblivion first launched in 2006 it captivated players with its open world, ambition and the promise of freedom in the fantasy realm of Cyrodiil. Now in its 2025 remastered incarnation, the game arrives reborn on Unreal Engine 5 yet the goal is not a full remake, but a thoughtful revival. As someone returning to this world with years of gaming behind me, I approached Oblivion Remastered both with nostalgia and critical curiosity. The result is a game that often...
