Sihoo Doro S300 Chair Review
12.03.2024 - 16:37 / thesixthaxis.com
VR might occasionally push you to stand up, and even occasionally flail your arms about, but generally speaking, gaming is done while seated. The sedentary gamer can often sink into a sofa for hours upon end, but your hip, back and neck aren’t going to thank you for it twenty years later. What you need is a chair, but in gaming circles, not just any chair will do. While there’s plenty of options out there, with faux leather and logos emblazoned across them, these are the Ford Focus’ of the gaming sphere, when what you’re really looking for is a Tesla. The Sihoo Doro S300 is a thoroughly modern take on the gaming/office chair, and it’s also the most comfortable one I’ve ever tested.
The Sihoo Doro S300 looks like it’s come from a spaceship or, as several visitors have noted, a dentist’s surgery. Our white and chrome review unit certainly looks futuristic, but there’s also a clinical tone to the sweeping aluminium lines of the central spine and the armrests. The chair itself is fashioned from separate pieces of Italian velvet mesh, stretched across glass fibre frames, with a central base unit, two lumbar pads – one for either side of your back – and a topmost shoulder/headrest.
As with all gaming and office chairs, the S300 arrived as a series of separate components which you need to put together yourself. Unlike some previous builds – I’m looking particularly at the Secretlab lineup – this is a chair you can put together on your own, but an extra pair of hands could be useful as the main unit is relatively heavy thanks to its prevalent use of actual metal.
All of the tools and screws you need are included, and the instructions were clear enough that I didn’t have to puzzle over them for very long at all. All in all, it took less than half an hour from opening the box to having a fully built chair in front of me.
While the chair immediately screams quality, that is something that’s reflected in the price, commanding a hefty £800 pricetag – though there’s currently a launch promotion that drops it to £700. While that cost is obvious in the majority of elements and materials the chair has, I was disappointed by the bog standard, cheap-feeling casters, and their lack of texture or grip on the floor.
Otherwise, the S300 feels fantastic. The mesh is incredibly soft, comfortable and breathable, and assisted by the separate support units, there’s plenty of airflow to be had around your body making the S300 perfect for lengthy gaming sessions that can otherwise slow cook your back and backside. Compared with the leather and leatherette chairs out there, it’s a huge upgrade, and if you naturally run a bit hot I don’t think there’s a better gaming chair out there if you’re looking for cool comfort while retaining

What Review Score Would You Give Unicorn Overlord? | Push Square
We're a bit late with this one, but we still want to know your thoughts on one of this month's best games. We are, of course, talking about Unicorn Overlord — the strategy RPG from Vanillaware. The title was always going to be somewhat niche in terms of appeal, but those who have played it will know how finely crafted an experience it is.

Planet Zoo: Console Edition Review (PS5) | Push Square
Planet Zoo is at its best when things are going well. Some park building games thrive when they turn into disaster management sims and you're forced to frantically resolve crises before the whole thing comes crashing down like a house of cards. Planet Zoo ain't that.

Open Roads Review (PS5) | Push Square
Things haven't been easy for Fullbright, the company that most famously produced Gone Home back in 2013, a slice of indie narrative heaven that won plaudits. After the excellent (but less virally successful) Tacoma in 2017, it's now back with another long-awaited game, Open Roads — except, in fact, the name Fullbright has been scrubbed from the final product after allegations of a toxic workplace culture sprung up a few years ago. The game's instead credited to the 'Open Roads Team'. Delays and slow progress have seen it slip years from its original release window, but the game is here at last: a short and sweet story-driven road trip.

What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin? | Push Square
Rise of the Ronin has been out for just over a week now, and so we want to know what you think of Team Ninja's open world action RPG. Published by Sony itself, this PS5 exclusive was met with somewhat divided reviews, and so currently sits at a 76 on Metacritic. User impressions have been more lenient overall, but it's still hard to shake the feeling that Rise of the Ronin has struggled to make any kind of significant impact.

Torn Away Review
Torn Away is a video game from another era. Not in terms of its World War 2 setting, but rather this game seems purpose-built for the iconic handheld of yesteryear, the Nintendo DS. Ostensibly a 2D Narrative Adventure, Torn Away is packed with 3D analogue-driven mini-games; from opening cupboards to lighting fires and repairing battered boots. Frequently, during such interactions, I felt the nostalgic need for a stylus and touch screen. Problematically, they were nowhere to be found, instead, my trusty gamepad would have to suffice.
