One of the biggest hurdles of the Trails series was how to introduce its world to new players when almost every game is interconnected through multiple follow-up entries. After all, the original The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky subseries was only on PC and older handhelds like the …

This Beast of Reincarnation walkthrough lists all chapters, with links to each individual guide.

The annual incremental tweaks to EA's behemoth FC series make it easy to forget this was once a genre that took generational leaps every few years. Soccer sims were defined and redefined throughout the 90s, noughties and 2010s, and certain features were so groundbreaking that they transformed how we play …

After spending weeks testing more than 30 different mice, the Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike stands out as the best gaming mouse because of its unique haptic clicks, impeccable build quality, and comfortable shape.

On paper, Echoes of Aincrad is the Sword Art Online game you've been waiting for if you loved the anime. It takes place during the Aincrad arc, the very first one in the series, which is easily the most memorable and iconic. As your own created character, you get to …

If you're not sure where to start, here are seven things I recommend that you do first in AC Black Flag Resynced.

My long-dormant memories of International Superstar Soccer 64's stilted commentary reawaken instantly. I haven't heard it for 25 years, but before the final whistle in the first World League match I’ve played since childhood, I'm reciting every repetition – "No foul the referee says! The referee says play on!" – …

I've been sneaking through the same corner of a London museum for two hours, crouching behind display cabinets as I memorize guard positions, patrol patterns, and camera locations. I restart whenever I'm spotted and, through repetition, I've honed my silent route between the three data discs I need to grab …

Rob Minkley, Crux magazine, here to interview Sir Nicholas Webb. Don't mind me as I rifle through your security office cupboards. John Fisher, museum curator, checking a valuable artefact for damage. Fletcher, operations department, searching for a rogue employee. I'm a lab technician who lost his coat, a tourist who …

My walkthrough goes through all 10 chapters in Replaced, showing where to find every collectible!

Mice from leading Chinese manufacturers used to be called "clones," but that no longer feels fair. Many are clearly inspired by the shape and features of well-known Western devices but they're also solid mice in their own right, and often cheaper. Rawm is one of the brands whose reputation has …

High-end modern gaming mice float in tasty but samey soup. A snappy sensor, 8,000Hz polling rate, and a 100-hour battery feel almost mandatory – variations in shape are the main differentiator.The Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike is, quite literally, built different. Its Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS) is genuinely transformative tech: …

When I was in 7th grade, I thought Mega Man Star Force’s themes about friendship and brotherhood were profound. Its villains were cartoonishly evil, spouting lines like, “who needs friendship when you have power?” I ate all of that up! Playing through the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection almost …

I can confidently say that Asus' newest earbuds are the best open gaming earbuds ever made. That's because, as far as I can tell, they're the only open gaming earbuds ever made, at least from a major brand. Asus is basically creating a new niche here and one that I …

Scrambling up to a platform high above Trembling Gorge cost me time, stamina, and – when I mistimed my magical grappling hook – a big chunk of health. But it was worth it for the incredible panorama view of Hernand's eastern undulations. Towards the southern coast, a stout fortress lurks …

I left Marathon's pre-release server slam convinced that I was dying too quickly, and that its short "time to kill" jarred with the game's hero shooter identity. What's the point in a smokescreen that turns you invisible, a deployable shield, or a smiling healing drone if your health bar vanishes …

My early days with Marathon have reminded me of how I fell in love with Apex Legends. Respawn's battle royale famously dropped out of nowhere in early 2019 and I was instantly in awe of its maps, its guns and, above all, its heroes and their unique abilities. Marathon is …

The Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro are a true novelty: they are open-ear earbuds that, with a quick pivot, become in-ear noise-cancelling ones. It makes them one of the most flexible headphones I've ever tried, and I'd be surprised if they don't start a trend. They're packed with bonus features including …

How important is a left click? Your answer might determine whether you love the Keychron M3 Mini, a wireless lightweight gaming mouse with impressive specs for less than $70.

Here's my full walkthrough for Code Vein II, complete with links to each main quest.

The Rip may stumble at times due to an uneven script and forgettable action scenes, but its interesting premise, talented cast – lead by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck – and twist ending make for a mostly enjoyable experience.

When a series such as Trails lasts as long as it has, sometimes things start to get weird. We’ve seen giant mechs, supernatural beings, and even multiversal time travel. After all of that, where else is there to go? Oh yeah, outer space! The vast, unknown territory of the final …

I've had the privilege of becoming IGN's "mice guy" in 2025, and since then I've amassed enough delivery boxes to build a small castle, covered my desk in dongles, and, most importantly, clicked new gaming mice tens of thousands of times. I've tested 15 mice this year (you can read …

Steelseries' Rival 3 Gen 2 wired mouse is, as we said in our review, the budget master: cheap, reliable, well-built, and precise in twitchy FPS games. There’s a reason it’s one of our favorite gaming mice. For the past week I've been testing the Rival 3 Gen 2 wireless, and …

Samus can get 25 suit upgrades, which are all listed here, along with links to pages detailing how to obtain them.

Corsair strips the Sabre V2 Pro ultralight wireless mouse back to the very basics; you get no Bluetooth connection, a relatively small battery, no DPI button and small skates on the bottom – all those weight savings means it's a mere 36g, lighter than almost any other gaming mouse. But …

"Don't shoot!" Forget Wolfpack grenades and Snaphooks: those two words can be your most powerful tool in Arc Raiders. My favorite runs have all started with that voice line, such as the time when I spent 15 minutes hunting an espresso machine in Buried City with a South African guy …
