In Nioh 3, players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next Shogun during Japan~s turbulent Sengoku period. In the shadows, Takechiyo~s younger brother, Tokugawa Kunimatsu, consumed by hatred towards his brother~s succession, plots to overthrow him. Empowered by a sinister force, he leads a horde of yokai in a fierce assault on Takechiyo, abruptly ending the era of peace and plunging Japan into hell. Guided by the mysterious power of his guardian spirit Kusanagi, Takechiyo transcends time to survive this kingdom in dire straits and become Shogun. The story of Nioh 3 will unfold on a larger scale than ever before in series history. Covering various eras and regions, Nioh 3 includes Edo Castle and the T~t~mi region during the Sengoku period, which players were able to explore in the Alpha demo, as well as the recently unveiled Kyoto, the capital of the Heian period. Players will also be able to freely explore each era in open-field experience, featuring beautiful and distinct environments. During his perilous quest to foil his brother~s conspiracy, Takechiyo will face various yokai and other powerful enemies, while taking on the challenge of the Crucible.

New to the Nioh series. The last demo caught my attention and so I picked up the steel case edition. The edition itself is good being it’s the same price as the standard game packaging. The DLC with it isn’t anything exciting but I have been thoroughly enjoying the game. The boss battles are hard and I’ve played all the Dark Souls/Bloodborne type games. If you aren’t familiar with Nioh, my opinion is that there’s a learning curve to it. There’s a lot to this game and its mechanics and options. Once you start getting those down, the game overall becomes easier and more fun. If you are worried about the bosses being hard, you have the option to summon an online player for help - had to do that on a couple myself. Overall challenge is pretty high but not as high as previous Nioh games it seems.

Better than expected! The color slightly changes depending on the light. The blue or purple metallic look is fantastic! No issues so far. $80 is a bit much for this so wait for a sale.

I have been playing Doom since it first came out in the 90s. Loved all those titles. Fast forward - I throughly enjoyed the 2016 version. Eternal was good and this new one does not disappoint. Play style is more 2016 and it’s a blast. I appreciate the new elements the developers went with instead of just playing it safe with the same formula. Don’t get me wrong - the premise is the same- wipe out the demons- but the new features are a lot of fun. Can’t decide yet if I like this or the 2016 more but it’s better than Eternal.

If you want something slow paced and don’t mind repeating the same activity over and over then you will find this enjoyable. I can see the appeal to this game because it can be great to destress with. My daughter loves it, I find it monotonous- constantly having things break and having to continuously farm the same materials the same way over and over. The load times are very long too. The pace needs to be sped up.

This was bought for my daughter and she loves the color. Haven’t had any stick drift but it’s rather new. Time will tell. $80 for these is a little ridiculous.

This has worked really well for my daughter’s Switch. There’s enough padding and protector piece for the screen and plenty of room for 8 games. Case is hard but not super hard so adequate coverage for accidentally drops. The idea for the strip to support the system upright to me is more of a gimmick to me so not really used.

Purchased this for my daughter’s birthday. She’s under eight and liked the feel of this size better than the OLED one. It’s been a great portable game player for her. We’ve enjoyed it as a family connected to the tv as well. The battery has been good but 32gb is a joke. I knew about the switch 2 coming out but wasn’t interested in the price increase and having to possibly hunt one down. For the price this is great for a young child.
Pairs perfectly with LG OLED B4, C4 and G4 series TVs. Your entertainment high five! Immerse yourself in every scene with exceptional cinematic surround sound.

Experience entertainment that sounds as outstanding as it looks.

I was really impressed by the overall sound. Movies and games were full, clear sound. I do change the setting from cinema to game and it does make a difference. The one thing this soundbar isn’t good for is music. My 5 year old Sony sound bar does a much better job with music. Even after trying adjustments in the app, I couldn’t get this soundbar to represent the music very well. Worth full price? No. But 5.1.3 at $500, yes - especially if your focus is movies or gaming.

I have used these for years - they don’t take up much room (no plug sticking out from the outlet) and provide solid protection for small electronics - computer/printer, washing machine, sub woofer, mini fridge. One finally died after 3-4 years and bought another one.

Thoroughly enjoyed the demo and the full game hasn’t disappointed. I figure an 8.5 out of 10. Yes it’s not right that at the last second the game was censored in any way but the game itself is an enjoyable playthrough. The parry system is easy to Learn, skill tree is huge, side quests for those that like that extra, and graphics/music work great. The reason 8.5 or 4/5 stars - the controls. Generally, they are fine and responsive. But can be cumbersome to the point of frustration with certain tasks (sometimes I think the camera also hinders things). There also isn’t much to the characters. The story is ok. It is worth buying but not at full price. I don’t think there’s many games thats worth $70. Shift Up did a solid job on this game.
