Cocoon review

Lava Blaze Pro 5G Review: In a market largely influenced by Chinese smartphone giants, Indian consumers have become accustomed to seeing brands like Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Realme dominating the mid-range segment even as the South Korean major, Samsung, keeps spicing up the space with its amazing smartphones. However, amidst this landscape, Lava, a homegrown tech company, has been striving to carve out its space in this fiercely competitive arena. Introducing the Lava Blaze Pro 5G, their latest addition to the 5G segment in India, the company aims to challenge the established players in the sub Rs. 15000 smartphone market - the space that has the most competition.

So we haven’t done one of our “where is our review” posts in a while, because frankly, we generally get copies of AAA games on time. Although there have been bumps in the road every so often, most gaming publishers want people to try out their games early, from the press to content creators, to any number of other folks in this modern media landscape.

Horror as a mode or genre encompasses a vast range of styles and approaches from the quiet and creepy to the over-the-top splatterfest. As a self-confessed horror fan, I’m generally pretty open-minded when it comes to different iterations of the form. The one exception to this, however, is the seemingly ubiquitous ‘YouTube’ horror game which relies almost entirely on jump scares and is mostly pitched towards overly performative streamer reactions. That being said, there are some excellent games within this rough genre, with the Amnesia series and Alien: Isolation standing supreme so I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Evil Nun. In the end, what I got was perhaps the very definition of an empty streamer experience.

We review Ingenious, an abstract strategy game published by Thames and Kosmos. Ingenious is designed by Dr. Renier Knizia and is being reprinted after a long time out of print.

Suicide Squad’s “early access” period will start to go live around the world late Monday night on consoles (and 10am PT Tuesday on Steam), which means that’s when it’s officially out, practically speaking. Unfortunately, we won’t have a review of Rocksteady’s new game-as-a-service looter shooter for you right away, as codes have not been sent ahead of time – in fact, Warner Bros. Games informed IGN that it has declined to send us codes at all.

Note: This review is specifically for the version of Palworld available on Xbox and through the Microsoft Store on PC . If you haven’t seen our review of the Steam version , go check that out first! Nearly everything we said there still applies to this review, which will instead focus specifically on what’s different with this version.

The life of a guardsperson is not one filled with adventures and heroics. You’ll spend days outside, which might be lovely during the summer, but miserable when it’s cold and wet. You’ll also get to meet plenty of interesting people, but you’ll be scrutinising what they say and carry to decide if they should be let into town, often with complex and far-reaching consequences if you get it wrong.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launches in just three days, but the reviews are live and glowing. Already, it has an average of 91 on Metacritic, and 90 on Opencritic, earning it a Mighty rating with 100 percent of critics recommending it at the time of writing.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio reset its flagship series with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, an aptly named title that saw newcomer Ichiban Kasuga take the lead in RPG hero fashion. With Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, RGG returns to the role-playing formula, with one foot in the future and the other in the past.

The puzzles seen in have detailed platforming sections that can be rearranged to unlock a secret ending after you defeat the final boss. The sphere-shaped worlds you visit move and interact with each other to form intricate levels. Interacting with these miniature universes in unique ways will reveal an alternate conclusion to the cerebral story of this game.

The enduring popularity of the Where’s Wally books tells you one thing: people love to find things. That probably doesn’t extend to your keys, matching socks, your mobile phone, or a clean spoon, but Hidden Through Time 2: Myths and Magic poses an interesting question: what if it was a goblin’s spoon?

Oppo has been in the smartphone market for the longest time and has gained immense popularity in bringing budget and mid-range smartphones with targetted features that are mostly well-received. Over the years, the company has outdone itself in entering the market with new innovations including foldable smartphones with attractive designs and features. One of the flagship series that has gained popularity is the Oppo Reno series which is mostly known for its snappy camera performance, long-lasting battery and quite responsive performance. Recently the company launched the Oppo Reno 11 series which is the successor of the Oppo Reno 10 series.
