We played through the first story: <\/span>Plymouth Point - A Missing Person Hunt<\/span><\/em>. In this story, Ivy Isklander has gone missing and it is our job to find her as we have recently just joined Plymouth Point Resident\u2019s watch. <\/span><\/p>\n

My team consisted of 4 players in total. One person on the team was sharing their screen as we looked through the clues. I found the experience to be very fun and interesting. It started off as a video call with an old lady which made it seem like it was real. The clues were easy to follow and were not very confusing. The only thing that was a bit obstructed was the one part where we were to find the second part of a recording but we could not figure out the puzzle until the clue was sent to us via chat.<\/span><\/p>\n

As another player on the team, what I liked about the game is that it was easy to play and ran smoothly. There were parts where things were easier to find, and solve and some weren't that easier. I personally really enjoyed playing and can\u2019t wait to play the others!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"isklander1\"<\/p>\n

To be honest, I have never been in an escape room, so I did not know what to expect. I did see the trailer for how to play Isklander. I am happy to say it was a lot of fun and I did enjoy myself and it was much better than what I thought when I was looking at the trailer. To be fair as this was the first part of the trilogy, I did enjoy the setup and the story. I would have loved for it to have a few more live-action performances; as I think they were so engaging and hooked me in. I did have the odd network issue (that could have been on my end) but it was a little annoying. The time seemed to go so quickly but that could have been because I was having such a good time with my team trying to solve the escape room. I would like to play the other two parts of the trilogy to see what else Swamp Motel can do with this: reality adventure. I would recommend anyone who likes the idea of a virtual escape room to check it out with their friends and family, I am sure they will have a lot of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may have heard of Kingdom: New Lands<\/em> which was a reworked version of the original game. As for Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em>, it\u2019s a sequel in the series. Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> is a 2D side-scrolling strategy game developed by three developers: Coatsink, Stumpy Squid and Fury studios. The publisher of the game is Raw Fury who has published other games like Atomicrops<\/em> and Night Call<\/em>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCooperative play is something that differs Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> from its previous games. You can experience the wonders of the game by yourself or with a fellow friend, locally or online. I appreciate the new multiplayer feature as it heightens the game\u2019s level of fun. With the Dead Lands DLC (which is a free update to the game), players can switch between four new monarchs inspired by the game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night<\/em>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Kingdom\r\n\r\nYou start your journey playing the role of a king or queen who rides atop their horse. You enter a realm in which you have to maintain your kingdom. Gold is very important in this game since it can be used to turn peasants into loyal subjects. You need to flourish your kingdom with many subjects and have them occupy a job to help defend your kingdom from the night terrors. As night falls, greedy creatures come out to steal your coins and crown, and once the crown is obtained by the pesky creatures, the kingdom has fallen. So it\u2019s important to recruit, hunt, and upgrade your kingdom. You can also explore the depths of the mysterious forests where you will find loot, structures, mounts, and more to help you sustain your kingdo<\/span>m.\r\n\r\nKingdom Two Crowns<\/em> consists of five different Islands. Each island has the same playthrough, where the Monarch establishes its permanent kingdom to survive the greed of the creatures. But the islands do differ from one another, both in size and difficulty. As you progress through the game and make your way to the next island, things will start to get more difficult. You will encounter new and stronger creatures that will try to steal your crown. For you to travel to other islands, you need a boat, and the boat on its own takes a while to repair. Once you are set and loaded on your island you can be ready to move on to the next island, but the longer you stay away from an island, your buildings begin to decay which can always make things very tedious.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Kingdom\r\n\r\nThe controls for Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> are simple and minimal. As the game is a side-scrolling game, meaning that you go from one side to the other, the only moving controls are moving to the left and right. You then have other controls like a sprint, drop, pay, mount special, and monarch special. Overall the controls work very smoothly.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhen first starting Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> you are appointed with three \u201cgame skins\u201d to pick from. What this means is that you have the original art style and then you have a reskin of the game where it includes Japanese style elements to the game. The Japenese reskin is called Kingdom: Shogun<\/em>. What is interesting is that the Japanese style introduces things like a samurai as your character, a bamboo forest, different lighting, and other captivating details. The reskin of the game is very nice as it gives players a new perspective to look at. The other reskin is the Kingdom: Dead Lands<\/em> one, where the atmosphere is more dreary and ominous.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe art style of this game, in my opinion, is alluring. Everything is very minimalistic, but it works so well with its beautiful pixel art aesthetic. The attention to detail put in this game is also incredible. The reflection that you can see off your character in the water, the little fishes that jump everyone now and then. Everything in the game looks so calm and wonderful. The trees are ruffled and the lighting is so well set too. You can ride through the forest and have it be where the forest background has light shining through peaks of the leaves. The grass, even the roots in the dirt, the bunnies, and the overall style of the kingdom is perfectly designed.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Kingdom\r\n\r\nOn top of that, the soundtrack and the sound effects are fitting too. I do have to say that the art style and sounds complement one another to create such a lovely atmosphere. Sound effects like the ping when the gold is used, the river running, the chopping of the trees, really helps the player feel like they are actually in the game. The music is also so calming, as you ride your horse through the forest, soft mellow music begins to play which sets this fantasy feel for the mood. The aesthetic of this game is beyond wonderful and so pleasing to look at and play with. It truly sits greatly with the standards of a \u201cKingdom\u201d.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKingdom Two Crowns<\/em>, is an extremely enjoyable, pleasant, strategic game that has an appealing feel and looks to make the player want to keep playing. The game gives a wondrous experience, which dives into a fantasy stylized atmosphere that can be worthwhile on your own or with a friend.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Kingdom Two Crowns Review","post_excerpt":"Build your kingdom","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"kingdom-two-crowns-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:19:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:19:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205243","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":20},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};

RIG 800 Pro is part of the new \u201cPro Series\u201d of gaming headsets from RIG Gaming. The wonderful people at RIG Gaming sent us the RIG 800 Pro HD (PC version) for review. RIG Pro has been designed to offer gamers unrivalled audio performance when they play. This headset is constructed from flexible, lightweight materials to bring the best comfort to gamers while they play for hours on end. This specific model sells at the price of \u20ac199.99, with its other models ranging from \u20ac29.99 - \u20ac199.99.<\/span><\/p>\n

The packaging for this headset is very professional. It is a very bulky box as the contents inside are relatively big. The box of this headset comes with a great; overview of the headset in the front. It shows the main features of the headset, this being wireless, the 24-hour battery\/charging stand as well as Dolby Atmos compatibility. All the other specifications of the headset are written on the back of the box in 8 different languages. The back clearly labels the different features and parts of the headset this; breakdown acts like a map of the headset. The box includes the following items: the RIG 800 Pro headset, charging stand, USB wireless adapter, USB-A to USB C cable, RIG\/Nacon stickers, safety instructions guide, Dolby Atmos guide, a quick start guide and a warranty.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the design of the RIG 800 Pro, we find the design to be very clean yet simple, to an extent. The headset does not have much of a colour palette; it's mainly black and grey with slight hints of orange. Though the colour combo goes well with the build of this headset, the look of the headset is like a gear or mechanical type part. This headset is extremely comfortable, and even though it looks like; it may be heavy on the head, it's especially light and flexible. As this is a wireless headset, rather than having padding under the top; headband, there is a slightly padded stretchable band that cups the head nicely. A nice addition to this headset is that you can also adjust the height of the headset (there are three levels the headset can be adjusted to). In addition, the ear padding on this headset has a nice feel to the ear. It feels smooth and soft with some cushion press to it; the padding cups the ears really well and keeps the sound all in. The specifications for this headset are the following: the frequency response is 20 Hz - 20 kHz, the drivers are 2 x Dynamic 40 mm with Matched Bass Tubes for 3D audio, its lag-free is 2.4 GHZ Digital RF, there is an 1800 mAh Battery, the sensitivity is -45 dBV\/Pa and the signal to noise ratio is >42 dB, impedance 32ohms, sensitivity 111 dBSPL\/V and weigh 308 grams.<\/span><\/p>\n

This headset has amazing sound quality to it. A range of games was played to see how well this headset sounds with various atmospheric noises and tunes. We played games like Stardew Valley, Slime Rancher, Valorant, Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox and a couple of others. Now for the more heavy games, very FPS heavy-focused games like Valorant, Overwatch 2, and Fortnite, there is really good clarity, and then there is this \u2018submersivness\u2019 (as if you are being submerged into the sound) feeling that's is created when you are playing heavy action games. The sound coming through the headset creates an overall chaotic atmosphere, from the loud gunshots to the quiet footsteps of the enemy team. For very casual gaming, the sound is so pleasant and welcoming. Everything can be heard with stunning detail and turns out, into a wonderful; gaming experience just because of the sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RIG800PROHD\"<\/p>\n

This headset also comes with a volume scroll on the left ear which can be used to; adjust how loud you want to hear the game. The volume scroll is extremely convenient when playing. What's good about this headset is that even at a low volume, the sound from the outside is muffled out well. This adds that noise cancellation effect to the headset, and with the great comfort of the padded ears, it creates this amazing; gaming experience. The headset has compatibility with Dolby Atmos but also is compatible with Nahimic on the Legion Lenovo laptop, which optimises the headset to give its best sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

As said earlier, this headset is compatible with Dolby Atmos. To be able to enhance the performance of this headset, you need to download the app called Dolby Access; on the Microsoft store. Then connect your device to activate Dolby Atmos for the headphones. The Dolby Access menu is very easy to work around, so there is not much confusion when trying it out for the first time; this makes it more accessible to people. First off, we tested the audio with the Dolby demo content to see if there is any significant difference we notice in the sound. We started by watching Nature's Fury, and as the video started, it felt like we were sitting in the cinema. The audio compatibility with Dolby transcends sound to another level. It travels the sound from ear to ear and even goes around you. The headset creates a surround sound system in your ear and has stunning, mesmerising sound. Not just this, but afterwards, we tested out; the settings for the headset, which is the equaliser. The headset comes with four pre-set settings: game, movie, music, and voice, and comes with; three custom slots. We ran through using each one of these pre-set settings to see how well Dolby adds to the experience, and it made a huge difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the music pre-set, there is more emphasis; added to the instruments, which create a rich and alluring sound that bounces from one ear to another. The movie pre-set is probably my favourite setting, as it creates an at-home movie theatre feel where it feels like; you are hearing the sound in 4DX. For the music pre-set, there is more emphasis; added to the instruments, which create a rich and alluring sound that bounces from one ear to another. The voice pre-set did not seem to have much change to it, yet it still; had good sound coming. Truly every single sound that travels through this headset is so well-detailed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RIG800PROHD_1jpg\"<\/p>\n

This headset comes with an attached bendable mic that can; be lifted up and down. A very convenient feature that the mic has; is automatically muting yourself when the mic is lifted and then unmuting your mic when the mic is brought down to the mouth. The flip-to-mute mic boom works extremely well with this headset as it adds more consistency and is convenient for players as they would not need to mess with too many keybinds to mute\/unmute themselves when in a game. Using the flip-to-mute mic boom, there also is; a sound indication to help let you know if you are muted\/unmuted as well. Another great thing the headset comes with is a mic control scroll on the left ear of the headset. This; allows for the headset to either pick up everything, every audio coming through the mic or to keep it so only your voice; is picked up. We find the mic control to be very useful, especially when someone on the other call hears your background noise which you do not want to be picked up; the mic control can help adjust that level. The overall quality of the mic is amazing, the voice is picked up clearly, and there is no noticeable delay. The mic also has great adjustability itself, as you can move it closer to the mouth or farther. Your voice picked up from this mic is crisp and clean. The only issue that the mic has is that when the mic control is near the max volume when breathing close to the mic, there is a bit of feedback, but besides that, the mic is just what you would want. Truly acts like a mic on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

This headset is mainly designed; for gaming, but we also used this headset to listen to music, watch Netflix or youtube, or even be on call with friends. Due to the design of this headset and the outstanding comforts, the sound encloses and is amazing for when watching movies\/shows or videos. The headset has a great sound; to it and really can be used for whatever you want to do, that too over an extensive period without feeling any discomfort. This headset can be used for hours of gaming or watching without any discomfort; you can go about playing with these headsets on without hardly; knowing they are there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now there are a couple of ways you can charge the headset. You can charge the headset while it sits on the base station or charges them directly through the headset. Both the headset and the base station have ports that can be used to charge. The headset takes about 7 hours and 30 minutes; to completely charge. There is a light indicator on the base station itself, which, when turned off, means the headset is completely charged. After the headset; is completely charged, you can plug the USB wireless adapter straight into your PC, Mac, PS5, or PS4, and the headset will connect automatically. Because of the direct USB wireless adapter, there is no need for Bluetooth connectivity and allows for great connectivity. There is also a little light on the USB to indicate if the headset is connected if it is, it changes from red to purple. We ran a test to see how long the headset\u2019s battery life lasts, and the headset lasts 29 hours and 46 minutes in total without any charging in between. The headset is to last up to about 24 hours, as said, but an additional 6 hours makes such a difference. The battery life on this headset is exceptional, but also the charging is so readily available as you can just place your headset onto the base station to charge. The headset also has little sound effects, where you are warned when the battery is low, high, or medium through a woman's voice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RIG800PROHD_3\"<\/p>\n

The wireless connectivity distance for the headset is not as great. This means; that you cannot, for instance, walk more than 12.5 feet away from your laptop without the woman\u2019s voice on the headset repeatedly saying \u2018not connected\u2019. What this means is; it's not best to walk around the house with this headset while listening to music or calling your friends. The headset is mainly just for you to sit in front of your laptop or console and play with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people may know of the company Skullcandy, and recently they released a gaming headset series of their own. So, let\u2019s compare the SLYR Pro (Multi-Platform wired gaming headset) that sells for the price of \u20ac99.99 to the RIG 800 Pro gaming headset that sells for \u20ac199.99. There is a PLYR wireless gaming headset by Skullcandy, which sells for \u20ac139.99, and this headset is mainly like the SLYR Pro but is wireless.<\/span><\/p>\n

When comparing the mic, both mics are pretty good. For the SLYR Pro, the mic quality is really and is very similar to the mic quality of the RIG 800 Pro. The RIG 800 Pro has more options to be able to control the level of your mic than the SLYR Pro headset. Personally, a bendable mic boom (which the RIG 800 Pro has) is more beneficial to us than a removable mic boom (which the SLYR Pro has) as it gives more leniency to how someone wants to adjust their mic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The SLYR Pro are not wireless, but they require a charge to use the equaliser feature to better optimise the sound when gaming. The battery life on the SLYR Pro is 26 hours, except you can still use the headset through the wire. Whereas for the RIG 800 Pro headset, the battery life lasts up to about 30 hours though charging the RIG 800 Pro can be more consistent with its base station.<\/span><\/p>\n

When comparing the sound quality between the SLYR Pro and the RIG 800 Pro, there is a price difference, but the sound is fair; good on both headsets. Through some comparison tests, I would say that the RIG 800 Pro is better at isolating outside sound and has more clarity. Also, with the compatibility of Dolby Atmos, the sound quality enhances a bit more than its normal sound, which can be heard through more detailed noise that creates an immersive gaming experience that the SLYR Pro does not entirely do. Both of the headsets pick up bass better, and neither has any distortion in the sound. The RIG 800 Pro has a more melodic sound to them. Both of the headsets are tuneful, which gives out good clarity on both.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RIG800PROHD_4\"<\/p>\n

As for the overall comfort of both headsets, the RIG 800 Pro is more comfortable than the SLYR Pro. The padding on the SLYR Pro and RIG 800 Pro are very similar in feeling and seem; to be made of the same material. The SLYR Pro headset is also made with a different type of material compared to the RIG 800 Pro. There is a bit more weight to the SLYR Pro than the RIG 800 Pro. RIG 800 Pro is more comfortable with its bulky look as it rests lightweight on the head. We would say that the SLYR Pro has better height adjustability than the RIG 800 Pro, as you can stretch the headset out, whereas you have to lock the RIG 800 Pro into \u2018sockets\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the major; price difference, the RIG 800 Pro, in the end, turned out to be very worth it. The reason there is a jump of \u20ac100 is that the RIG 800 Pro is wireless, comes with a charging station, and has compatibility with Dolby. These additions and slight differences from the SLYR Pro do make the RIG 800 Pro worth it. The RIG 800 Pro enhances audio performance more than you would expect it; to.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the headset, we believe everything that was added and made was perfect and that there would not be any suggestions; that we could make. We would only say that design-wise, it would have been nice to have some customization options. Maybe some colour or design choice would have been nice, but other than that, the headset is; very good for what you are paying. We wish that the; headset was compatible with Bluetooth as it would allow better compatibility with other devices such as a phone or iPad\/tablet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The RIG 800 Pro gaming headset is a bulky yet light build with simplicity but enticing sound to create an experience from the comfort of your gaming. With its compatibility with Dolby Atmos, the more stunning and customizable sound is presented to you with great ease. This gaming headset has an amazing flip-to-mute mic boom and easy-access controls built onto the headset; itself. For the price of \u20ac199.99, these headsets are truly, worth it and will create immersive gaming; and watching experience like no other. The addition of the; charging base also acts like a stand for your headset, which you can use for display on your gaming setup. If you want an effective, comfortable wireless headset with an appreciable; the sense of surround sound, then definitely go check out the RIG 800 Pro Gaming Headset!<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall:<\/strong> 9.5\/10<\/span><\/p>\n

The great people at AOC have sent us this gaming mouse for review. The AGON AGM600 gaming mouse has been designed for esports enthusiasts and hardcore gamers of FPS and action titles. The mouse is constructed to feature a comfortable design and many different features. This gaming mouse is sold at the price of \u00a339.99.<\/span>\n\nThe packaging of this mouse is simple yet efficient. Most of all, the information relating to the mouse is written on the box. The box has a vibrant red lighting strip; look at it with a great mouse model on the front and back. The box comes with the following items: The AGON AGM600 gaming mouse, a warranty card and a quick setup guide. The mouse has a simple setup as you just plug the USB port into your device. This gaming mouse is wired.<\/span>\n\n\"agon_agm600_1\"\n\nThe design for the AGON AGM600 gaming mouse is extremely slick; and simple but still has style to it. The mouse has a black base colour to it, with a thin RGB backlight stripe at the bottom, as well as on its logo. The mouse has a metal scroll wheel with a red accent on both sides of the scroll, which adds a nicer touch to the mouse. The simplicity of this mouse is that it is extremely clean. The mouse has some heft to it which adds to its durability. This gaming mouse also has a thumb rest on its right side, which adds to a better grip and rest on the mouse. The specifications for this gaming mouse are the following: Kailh switches, mouse button durability 80 million clicks, 16,000 DPI resolution, 1 ms \/ 1000 Hz polling rate, Pixart PWM3389 sensor, sensor type is optical, 400 IPS tracking accuracy, Teflon feet mats and the acceleration is 50G. The mouse weighs ~115 g, not including the cable. This gaming mouse has also received the NVIDIA Reflex technology certification. The NVIDIA Reflex technology is also compatible with monitors that are equipped with the NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer tool, which can display the system latency.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\"agon_agm600_2\"\n\nFor this mouse, we played heavy FPS games such as Fortnite, Valorant, Overwatch, and Call of Duty to test out whether it was good for gaming. Now, this gaming mouse has amazing accessibility. First, the DPI on this mouse is well-adjusted with four distinct levels. It's a manual switch, as well as making it easier for you to find the best sensitivity and control for the game you are playing. The different DPI settings also have a very big difference from one another, making them more suitable for various players. In addition to the DPI settings, the sensitivity of this mouse is outstanding. There is no noticeable delay or drag on this mouse. Every move, even the slightest made with this mouse, gets picked up, making it precise and well-adjusted.<\/span>\n\nThe cable on this wired gaming mouse is about 1.8m long and is also braided. This length is great as it can reach across a whole gaming setup, but not just that, the wire comes with a velcro strap to tie it shorter to make it more accessible and cluster-less. We found this little addition; to be very useful for the wire, as sometimes many different wires entangle, and this velcro strap keeps this separate from the others.<\/span>\n\n\"agon_agm600_3\"\n\nThis gaming mouse is also compatible with the G-Menu software that can be downloaded through the AOC website. The G-Menu displays options from customising button layouts, selecting sensitivity, and adjusting the light fx. This gaming mouse has ten distinct buttons, which can all; be mapped out to different binds. We found this feature to be extremely useful when playing FPS games, as different buttons can bind to pings, callouts, zooms etc. On the customise screen of the G-Menu, there is a nice layout of the mouse with all the 10 buttons labelled. You can customise your own key bind or select from the pre-set options that the menu is equipped with. There are options like a text editor where you can map a button to copy or paste something. The sensitivity menu allows you to adjust the DPI settings, the pointer speed, double click, scroll speed and the polling rate to your liking. The sensitivity menu allows players to find their best sensitivity rather than having to stick with what the mouse is pre-set to. This feature is really well done, as it gives more versatility to the mouse by having more options for players to choose from. The lighting FX menu is mainly to change the colour LED of the mouse. This allows people to match the RGB colour to their setup. This little touch is where you can customise the colour of your mouse. Or change it from a breathing setting to a blinking setting is a great detail that gives full control to the person using the mouse. The G-Menu is very simple and easy to work around, making it the best tool to make your mouse well-adjusted for yourself.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\"agon_agm600_4\"\n\nNow AOC said the mouse is designed; for esport people or heavy FPS gaming, but even if you do not fall under any of those categories, this mouse is great for casual gaming or even normal work. The mouse can be used to do anything really on your laptop or PC. Its functionality is smooth, up to pace and, more importantly, very comfortable.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nSpeaking of the comfort of this mouse, this mouse has an amazing; grip and is also very smooth to the touch. The mouse has a skin-friendly matte UV coating giving it a clean black finish on the build. The matte coat has no grit and feels smooth when your hand is placed on the mouse. The matte coat has no slipperiness; to it either and sticks well onto the hand. The sides of the mouse have dual-injected silicon giving it a nice textured hold for the best grip on the mouse. The inclusion; of the rubber base makes it better for the mouse to not slip away from your fingers. Overall, the comfort of the mouse when being used for hours on end when gaming is excellent. There are zero discomforts from this mouse whatsoever.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nFor this gaming mouse prior to this, we have not used a mouse that is near the price range of this gaming mouse. We used to use a gaming mouse that was around 10 euros. Compared to this mouse, that gaming mouse had zero heft, as in it was too light, and the comfort on the side grips was a lot more gritty feeling. Not just that, but this mouse has much more customization than any cheap mouse would have.<\/span>\n\n\"agon_agm600_5\"\n\nIn terms of improvements, we would not have any suggestions as the overall build and efficiency of this model is outstanding. For future reference, if AOC wanted to use this very model, they could release a wireless version of this mouse which could appeal to a bigger audience.<\/span>\n\nThis gaming mouse has wonderful customization to it, which we believe will help it appeal to a wide audience. The AGON AGM600 gaming mouse has a sleek design with such simplicity. The mouse comes with many buttons and software that you can use to best fit its features to your preference. We found this mouse to be amazing and worth \u00a339.99. You will not find a mouse in this price range that has many features that can be adjusted for your; own best comfort. The mouse has; a nice grip lining and the RGB adds more to its design. It can not get any better as this mouse has low latency and high responsiveness, meaning you will have no noticeable delay or setback to anything you do. If you want a gaming mouse that has a nice slick design, great customization for its sensitivity, has great; comfort and grip with plenty of buttons for your endless gaming mouse binds, then definitely go check out the AGON AGM600 gaming mouse!\u00a0<\/span>\n\nOverall:<\/strong> 9.5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"AOC AGON AGM600 Gaming Mouse Review","post_excerpt":"Gaming mouse","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"aoc-agon-agm600-gaming-mouse-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-11-17 14:32:33","post_modified_gmt":"2022-11-17 14:32:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208800","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208731,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-11-04 11:51:01","post_date_gmt":"2022-11-04 11:51:01","post_content":"The SLYR Pro (Multi-Platform wired gaming headset) is part of the new gaming headset series from Skullcandy gaming. The amazing; people at Skullcandy sent us this gaming headset to review. The SLYR Pro wired headset has been designed to introduce premium sound and features for gamers. This headset is constructed from tough and lightweight materials to bring comfort to gamers whilst they play. The SLYR Pro gaming headset sells for \u20ac99.99, other models in this series range from \u20ac69.99 - \u20ac159.99.<\/span>\n\nThe packaging for this headset is bright and extremely colourful. The box displays a picture of the headset at the front and has lots of specifications about the headset around the box. The choice of colours for this box is very complimentary tones going from purple to light blue. The box reminds us of led lights that are placed in a room. The SLYR Pro headset comes in three different colours: black digihype, green digihype, and blue digihype. The box includes the following items: an SLYR Pro headset, removable boom mic, 3.5mm cable (5ft), USB-C to USB-A cable (3ft), and a user guide\/warranty guide. The addition of the two sets of cables allows for more compatibility on various devices. Your best friend, when using; this headset, will be the user guide to use all the features offered in this headset.<\/span>\n\nAs for the design of the SLYR Pro headset, we find the design to be a great complementary set of colours, as the colours are not offsetting from one another. These headsets are also comfortable and light. The review headset sent to us was in the colour style of the black digihype. We enjoy the different colours on the headset, and also really like how the wires are different colours from one another yet still match the headset. The padding under the top of the headset also sits well on the head and helps with support. Near this padding is also a nice colourful pixelated design which adds more character to the headset. A really good feature that this headset has is the ability to be able to adjust the height of the headset; this allows different people to get the best comfort and full coverage on their ears. Another nice touch on the design of this headset would be the inner ear parts having a right and left indication by having their initials in a pixelated font. The pixel designs create the gaming look as if it were an 18-bit type of game. We would like to add that the removable mic is very convenient for when you are playing on your own and do not want the mic in your way, so being able to detach is very useful. The padding on the ears is also very smooth and not rough to the ears, which adds more comfort to this headset. The specifications for this headset are the following: The impedance is 32\u03a9, the driver diameter is 50mm, the THD is 2<%@1KH, the sound pressure level is 95\u00b13dB, the frequency response is 20Hz \u2013 20KHz, enhanced sound perception, clear voice smart mic and the headset weighs 276g.<\/span>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_208617\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"1000\"]\"skullcandyhead\" skullcandyhead[\/caption]\n\nThis headset comes with great sound quality control by having a built-in equaliser, and even if you are not one to mess around with much that you do not have to, as there are pre-set equaliser settings. First off, we tested the sound quality without messing around with any settings just to see the basics of the headset. We find the sound quality to be surprisingly good when gaming. At the start, we played very FPS-heavy-focused games like Valorant, Overwatch 2, and Fortnite and found that the sound travels well through this headset. For instance, the sound of the gunshots has really good clarity to them and does not need the headset to be at such a high volume. The headset also has a volume scroll on it which adjusts the volume, and what we noticed was that around a certain volume mark, the sound flushed out any outside noise, creating some sense of noise cancellation. Later, we played games like Stardew Valley and Phasmophobia, two very different types of games, and found the sound was amazing, especially in Phasmophobia. Phasmophobia is a horror investigating game, and this headset creates such a good atmosphere with the sound making it seem like you are in the game itself. Something about the sound that felt a bit off was that one ear seemed to be at a lower or higher volume compared to the other ear, yet we found later that this could be adjusted in the Skull-HQ app. A quick thing about the sound that we had noticed, which was interesting as a feature, is how when using two different apps, like discord for calling and Valorant for just playing over the top of one another. The volume of the call in discord would be much louder than in the game.<\/span>\n\nAs a suggestion for anyone who plans on using this headset, especially for gaming on the PC, we prefer you to use the USB-C to USB-A cable as the sound quality seems slightly better through that cable than the other one. The only thing with this cable is that there seems to be static noise when nothing is, being played, which can be annoying to hear.<\/span>\n\nWe used to use wired earbuds that would have a detachable mic to them as well. When putting the headset on for the first time and using it on call, the person on the other end of the call said there was a major difference in the clarity of my voice. Of course, earbuds differ from a headset, but if the difference was major for someone to notice clarity in an instance means that the mic has good quality to them. We also ran little mic tests to check how good the mic is. First, off the mic is a bit farther away from your mouth but picks up sound and your voice extremely, well.<\/span>\n\n\"skullcandyhead3\"\n\nThis is great as even if you whisper, the sound gets picked up, so gaming late at night will not disrupt the rest of the house. The mic also has a feature where you can directly mute yourself from the headset itself. To be able to use this feature, you have to turn the headset on and use it while it\u2019s on. The voice indication for the mute button is also really good, as it helps let you know if you are or are not muted.<\/span>\n\nOn top of mainly just using the headset on the laptop for gaming, we tried using the headset on an iPad and a Samsung phone. First off, both of these devices no longer have an aux input, so we had to use a USB-C to Aux input converter to use the headset on the devices. Mainly when using the headset on the phone and the iPad, we listened to a series of music and watched videos on youtube\/Netflix. The headsets are called to be gaming headsets, but you can easily use them when on another device as well. The sound is extremely clear, there were some slight static noises, but we believe that was due to the aux converter rather than the headset itself. Even for watching videos or listening to music, the sound is amazing. The earpads fitting around the ear create a noise-cancellation atmosphere. After the phone and iPad, we also used the headset on the Xbox. We used a Bluetooth controller and connected the headset through the aux cable. First, off the sound quality through the controller was picked up extremely well; everything was clear to hear, and there was no delay in any of the sounds. In addition to that, the mic picks up sound well through the controller when using Xbox party or using in-game voice chat. Overall the sound and mic quality for the headset is very good.<\/span>\n\nThe headset offers many different modes which can be tested out through the Skull-HQ app. We downloaded this on a PC to test out the different EQ modes. The app can easily be downloaded through the Skullcandy website. To connect the headset to the app, you use the USB-C to USB-A cable. To turn on the equaliser on the headset: there is a switch, and when the equaliser is on, there is a woman's voice indicating if the headset is connected, on or off. The voice indication makes it much easier to know when it is working.<\/span>\n\nThis is our first time working with an equaliser, and the homepage of the Skull-HQ app makes it so easy and sufficient to work around. The battery life of the headset is displayed next to the icon of the headset. Many different dials help with adjusting the volume. Earlier, when we were talking about the difference in volume in each ear, through the app, you can pretty much change the volume settings for each ear, as well as change the volume proportions for when in-game and voice calls. You can also run an enhanced sound perception (E.S.P) test, which allows you to configure your headset to hear every detail of sound.<\/span>\n\n\"slyrpro_2\"\n\n#1 [SUPREME MODE]: Supreme mode is pretty much just default mode; this is where none of the settings have been messed around with. The sound is really good for this but does not have many changes to it.<\/span>\n\n#2 [MUSIC MODE]: For music mode, there is more bass added to the music, and overall, the volume is a bit louder than usual but other than that, there is not much of a change from the supreme mode. Though listening to music on this headset is good as, the instruments and vocals are all really clear and defined.<\/span>\n\n#3 [MOVIE MODE]: Movie mode also sounds very similar to supreme mode; the only difference is that the volume is slightly louder. Music and movie modes sound very similar to one another as well. Either way, the sound is very good when listening to a movie.<\/span>\n\n#4 [PODCAST MODE]: Usually, we do not listen to podcasts, but for this test, we listened to an episode of the Distractables by Markiplier. For podcast mode, there is more \u2018bright\u2019 to the noise, whereas there is not much dullness to the sound.<\/span>\n\n#5 [FPS MODE]: From the default preset, the FPS mode adds more depth to the sound, meaning that the sound is deeper. Also, there is a great difference in how the footsteps travel in this FPS mode, you can clearly hear the footsteps, and if the footsteps are over sand, the crunch can be heard, and the farther away the footsteps, the more depth in the sound is created. You can also hear the footsteps travel from one ear to the other when the character in-game moves sides. Over the supreme sound mode (default mode), we prefer this one a lot more when playing an FPS game. The gunshots are slightly more clear but also have a pushback to them.<\/span>\n\n#6 [RPG MODE]: As for the RPG mode, there seems to be more heightened sound compared to the other modes. This mode creates a good in-game atmosphere as you can hear your surroundings, and the noise travels from ear to ear.<\/span>\n\n#7 [MMO MODE]: For the MMO mode, there is also more depth added to the sound this; creates more atmosphere, which is similar to the RPG and FPS mode. We would say that the three game-related modes are similar; to each other, but for some, the noise is heightened or dulled down. This does not mean that the sound comes across as bad. We find that the sound for each of these modes goes well.<\/span>\n\n#8 [CUSTOM EQ MODE]: There is also a custom EQ mode, which we did not mess around with too much, but this allows people to find their preference in sound giving, more variety to the quality of sound the headset gives.<\/span>\n\n\"skullcandyhead2\"\n\nThe battery life on the headset goes for using the equaliser. Now, if you use the USB-C to USB-A cable, the headset charges as it is being used, which is very efficient, but when fully charging the headset, which takes roughly 2 hours, and draining the battery to 0% last about 26 hours. When we ran the test for the battery life, there were some hiccups that showed up on the EQ mode app with the battery life, as sometimes the battery is less and boosts up to a lot more in the span of seconds. We would say, though even; though the hiccups show, the battery life on this headset is outstanding. For using it to a minimum or maximum, setting the battery life can last up to about 23-26 hours of gaming with no interruptions.<\/span>\n\nWe have to say that the Skull-HQ app is made perfectly. It is not overcrowded and has everything that is needed, with simplicity. Everything on the app is well-defined and easy to work around, and even if you are new to working with equalisers, it is great to start here. This gaming headset it was hard for us to properly compare this to another gaming headset. We do own a gaming headset, but it is much cheaper compared to this headset which would not be a great comparison.<\/span>\n\nThere are a few things here and there that could be taken into account for future reference. First off, this may be different for everyone's preference, but we would like for the detachable mic to be bendable. This would allow for the mic to be closer to the mouth or further away. We like when the mic is closer and believe this tiny design feature can make the mic even better. In addition to this, if you are someone who wears glasses and is using this headset, they are a bit uncomfortable, as the headset seems to be pushing back on the glasses. If there is some way; that can create more adjusting ability to the headset itself, that could help with the glasses issues. We would also like to say for someone who wants to get this headset for the console and has no access to a laptop, it, maybe better to release the Skull-HQ app on the phone. So, more people can mess around with sound settings if the default ones don't suit them.<\/span>\n\n\"sullcandyhead4\"\n\nThe best feature of this wired gaming headset is its compatibility with the Skull-HQ app. Not just that, but as well as it's compatible with many different devices as well (The inclusion of the two cables makes this good to work with). It is even great how on the headset; even when using it on a different device, you can use the EQ modes through a button on the headset. The SLYR Pro gaming headset has a great simplistic yet stunning design that can match anyone's gaming set-up as well as brings a pop of colour. The headset is light and comes with many great features that you can ask for in a gaming headset. Because of their compact and comforting earpads, these headsets can be used for hours on end for gaming with little to no discomfort. This gaming headset comes with many great features and has such; as a good mic and sound quality. For the price of \u20ac99.99, these headsets; a truly worth it and are friendly to new equaliser users. Believe me, if you would like to mess around with headsets that come with pre-EQ modes or want to customise your own, this headset does wonders with that. Not just that, but if you want a light headset; and noise-cancelling because of the earpad's comfort, is wonderful in design, and is compatible with gaming and everyday use, then definitely go check out the SLYR Pro Gaming Headse<\/span>t!\n\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n ","post_title":"Skullcandy SLYR Pro Gaming Headset Review","post_excerpt":"Multi-platform wired gaming headset","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"skullcandy-slyr-pro-gaming-headset-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-11-04 11:51:02","post_modified_gmt":"2022-11-04 11:51:02","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208731","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208631,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-10-17 19:13:30","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-17 18:13:30","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Nitrome, Yacht Club Games<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> Apple Arcade, PC (Reviewed), Switch<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Yacht Club Games<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nShovel Knight Dig<\/em>\u00a0is a 2D side-scrolling dungeon-crawler roguelite platformer. It is designed to look like a retro 16-bit game.\u00a0Shovel Knight Dig\u00a0is from the\u00a0Shovel Knight\u00a0<\/em>series that has been developed and published by Yacht Club Games.\u00a0Shovel Knight Dig\u00a0has been developed by Nitrome and Yacht Club Games. There are more that are very similar to this game which falls under the\u00a0Shovel Knight\u00a0<\/em>series game.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe story behind the game is that you are a knight whose weapon is a shovel, and your objective is to reach the \u2018meta knight\u2019 who stole your sack of jewels. This is a single-player game that is filled with loads of fun as you progress through various levels to end up in a boss fight.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"shovelknightd1\"\r\n\r\nYou go about by making your way underground, using your trusty shovel to dig out paths to collect numerous; jewels and keys, as well as beat up any monsters in your way. You collect all these jewels and come upon cash stations where you can buy\/upgrade different items to help on your adventure. This game includes many more new characters, knights and enemies; it is also filled with tons of humour!<\/span>\r\n\r\nI find the default controls to be a bit hard to use. You have your hands mainly over the entire keyboard layout when you are only using three main keys. For example, when using the dig control, you have to hold down the arrow key and press J, which is a bit difficult to get a hold of right away. The good thing about the controls is that they are extremely simple, as you only press three keys: space (jump), J (dig\/attack) and the arrow keys (to move around).<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"shovelknightd2\"\r\n\r\nI personally love any game that is in the 16-bit style, and this game has such a vibrant bright colourful design to it. With the vibrant look, it feels as if you, too, are going on this adventure as the knight. The choice of colour, especially for the knight, makes it stand out very well. I enjoy how the gems and monsters look, not; just that but the animation for when digging as well as hitting an enemy is done really well. My personal favourite enemy hit animation would be when killing the skeleton that holds a sword, the skeleton's head; just flies off. The game would not be as good without the sound effects and the soundtrack. The animation and design of the game\u00a0compliment the choice of songs the developers picked and the little trinket's noises. For example, when opening the menu of the game, you hear a little ping noise when selecting over certain options, which creates nostalgia for those who would play 16-bit games back in the day but also creates a subtle yet nice familiarity. Also, the soundtrack is so upbeat and gets you in an adventure-going mood. It is another pulse-pounding soundtrack in a new style by astonishing virtuoso Jake Kaufman!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"shovelknightd3\"\r\n\r\nI found this game to be great fun when wanting to play something you can wind down to or play after a long day. The game is not very hectic: which is great, making it a lot more inviting. Plus, once you get along to progressing; through the levels, you get a bit addicted to wanting to progress through more and more. I would end up dying multiple times, yet that wouldn\u2019t stop me from restarting the game and playing through it again to reach the boss. What I also like about the game is that the levels; are randomly generated, meaning that no two levels are the same making the gameplay, to some extent, endless. I love the soundtrack to this game so much as it gets you going and is very amped up, making the game even more exciting to play.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"shovelknightd4\"\r\n\r\nIf you want to play a game where you make your way down into the depths of the earth whilst getting wealthier and beating up a bunch of enemies in your way, then this is the game for you! Even if you have or have not played the other Shovel Knight games, you can still play this one and enjoy it equally or even more! Become a bright blue knight and use your trusty shovel to dig your way to the riches and keep unlocking further items and get closer to the end!<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall: <\/strong>8\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Shovel Knight Dig Review","post_excerpt":"All-new Shovel Knight adventure","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"shovel-knight-dig-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:50:47","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:50:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208631","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208179,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-09-08 14:57:16","post_date_gmt":"2022-09-08 13:57:16","post_content":"Take a Hike Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds are limited edition earbuds from Skullcandy in collaboration with their long-term, non-profit partner and friends at POW. The wonderful people at Skullcandy sent us these earbuds for review. The Dime 2 earbuds are designed to encourage people to go outside during the summer and promote non-artisan policies designed, to combat climate change. A portion of the proceeds will be donated; to POW. The earbuds are light, compact and easy to carry and; sell at the price of \u20ac44.99.<\/span>\n\nThe packaging for these earbuds is very inviting, with the design being a hilltop, wilderness theme. The logo for the earbuds looks like a campers badge, which fits extremely well with their targeted outdoors theme. The box includes the following items: Take a Hike Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds, ear gels that come in three different sizes (small, medium, and large), Micro-USB charging cable, a keychain, a user guide and a one-year limited warranty. The addition of ear gels makes it very convenient for people with different ear sizes to find; the best comfort for themselves.<\/span>\n\nAs for the design of the Take a Hike Dime 2 earbuds, the colours very well complemented one another. The top of the case is a pale light brown with white wavy stripes. The bottom of the case is a dark sea green colour. The earbuds have three different colours on them: light blue, pale light brown and orange. The vibrant colours from the earbuds to the case fit extremely well with capturing a wilderness, camping, or hike type of trip. From many other earbuds that I have seen with different colours, the Dime 2 earbuds do the best to create a complementary palette. In addition to this, the earbuds themselves are; extremely light and, when in the ear, are not bothersome.<\/span>\n\n\"dimesmu_takeahike1\"\n\nThe ear gels are made out; of silicone which gives them a soft feel and has no roughness to it. This set weighs around 32g, which is very light and easy to carry around. The charging case is about the size of a car key and is made out; of plastic. The feel of the case is very smooth, and the design is slick. Some of the other specifications for these earbuds are the following: The connection type is Bluetooth 5.2, impedance is 16 \u03a9\u00b115, the driver diameter is 6 mm, the THD is <3%, sound pressure level is 95+\/-3dB, and lastly, the frequency response is 20Hz - 20KHz. They are great for the outdoors because they come with IPX4 sweat and water resistance. Another thing to add is the connectivity of the Bluetooth before it disconnects from a distance, roughly 25 feet. I must say that the Dime 2 earbuds are one of a kind.<\/span>\n\nIn our test for the battery life, each bud lasted up to 3 and a half hours before needing a recharge. It takes around 5 hours to completely charge the case with the earbuds inside of it, which is indicated through a red light turning off. A rough total of 9 hours of battery life is supported in total for the earbuds, which is a bit disappointing compared to the promise of a total of 12 hours. For these Dime 2 earbuds, when each earbud is out of charge and put back into the case, you can see a red LED light go off once fully charged. Bluetooth's connection is very accessible when using a laptop, Android phone and even an Apple iPad. A really nice feature about the earbuds connecting to devices shows a battery bar and percentage to indicate the battery life of the earbuds.<\/span>\n\nThe sound quality for these affordable earbuds is very decent. The sense of isolation in sound and control on these earbuds is not as great compared to more expensive earbuds, but that does not stop them from having satisfactory sound quality. Now, of course, this is mainly based on how the sound is heard by me and can differ from others. For testing the sound quality, the songs I listened to consisted of the genres of R&B and Pop. When adjusting the volume for the earbuds, the sound; quality differs at different volume levels. When; kept at a minimum (around <50), the sound is soft and clear. You can clearly hear the bass and all the different instruments and beats. Whereas, when you turn the volume a lot higher (to its max) for certain songs that have a heavy beat\/bass to them, there is a distorted, peaky feedback that can be a bit irritating. The vocals for all of the songs are extremely clear and come out in a fun musical sound. In all honesty, listening to music with these earbuds is good as the song comes out clear, and for the price, you can not expect more.<\/span>\n\n\"dimesmu_takeahike2\"\n\nAs well as listening to music, we also used the earbuds while gaming and found that the sound comes out well to loud bangs and noises, especially in FPS (first-person shooter) games like Fortnite or Valorant. Also, in these games, there are noises that are subtle, like footsteps and sneak moves, which get picked up by the earbuds really well. Also, when it comes to watching movies\/shows on Netflix or videos on Youtube, the sound is extremely clear, and there seems to be no distortion in the noise at all. Personally, the sound quality for these earbuds is surprisingly good and extremely effective. Many people would prefer different sound tuning and may not find one better than the other, but these earbuds come with a very good tune.<\/span>\n\nMany people know of AirPods, either they have used or seen them, but a large majority know how AirPods are. Now, let's compare AirPods Gen 2, which sells for the price of \u20ac150, to the Take a Hike Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds, which sell for \u20ac45.<\/span>\n\nWhen comparing the mic, both mics are not as great. For the AirPods, it is harder for others to hear without there being a static noise. The Dime 2 earbuds can pick up very quiet noise yet still; has some static noise here and there. The static noise could be due to the specific application used to test this (We used Discord, Whatsapp, and Instagram), but; the Dime 2 earbuds had a better response. We found that the battery alert is much better for the AirPods as it is just a beeping noise compared to a loud lady\u2019s voice which at times can be a scare.<\/span>\n\n\"dimesmu_takeahike3\"\n\nWhen comparing the sound quality between the AirPods and the Dime 2 earbuds, of course, with the price difference, the AirPods sound a lot better when it comes to much louder sound. There is no need to keep a range of volume to hear the best sound when it comes to the AirPods compared to the Dime 2. AirPods come with more of a noise-cancelling sound. Compared to the Dime 2, the AirPods\u2019 sound quality picks up better bass and does not distort the sound. AirPods are audible and have a more melodic sound to them. They also are much more tuneful, making the sound much crisp.<\/span>\n\nAs for the earbud comfort, where you leave them in for an extensive period of time is much, much better on the Dime 2 earbuds than the Airpods. After about an hour of having AirPods in, it starts to hurt, and you feel major; discomfort when you have to take them off. (We used to use one ear at a time for this very reason, to refrain from hurting my ears simultaneously). Because of the ear gels; that the Dime 2 earbuds have, it is a lot more comforting.<\/span>\n\nThe button control on the Dime 2 earbuds is a bit difficult to work; with. When using the AirPods, you just need to lightly tap the bud for the controls, whereas the Dime 2 earbuds have you holding down the earbud with your thumb to refrain the earbud from pushing straight into your ear.<\/span>\n\n\"dimesmu_takeahike4\"\n\nThe Dime 2 earbuds also come with more accessories, for example, the keychain that you can use to attach to a set of keys and ear gels sizes for different people's preferences. I would say that there are more active features for the AirPods, but then again, AirPods are very Apple specific. The Dime 2 earbuds work very well with all devices making it; a lot more convenient. Personally speaking, after using AirPods for roughly a year and then using these for a week, I would use the Dime 2 earbuds a lot more.<\/span>\n\nThere are a few things here and there that could be taken into account for future reference. For instance, the design of the charging case when the earbuds are not sitting in them. As you are on a walk or running whilst having your earbuds in, you would not plan on holding the case but rather put it in your pocket, due to the design; the hole where the earbuds sit can catch dust or dirt, or even the case could get scratched. For this, it would be helpful if Skullcandy added a little mesh bag or a cloth bag that you can use to keep the; case protected from damage and any dirt.<\/span>\n\nLastly, some amazing features these earbuds come with is one being mono-mode, where you can easily use one earbud at a time even; when switching them out, they automatically connect. With IPX4 and tile inclusion, there is no worry about sweat destroying the buds or you losing them. Perfect for when out in the rain as well.<\/span>\n\nThe limited edition Take a Hike Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds have simple controls, easy carry, and outstanding design, which make them truly effortless and outstanding. These earbuds tell their own story through the theme of outdoors summer time which would be great for anyone out or even in. Extremely easy to use and efficient though the battery life could be a bit better. Other than that, for only \u20ac44.99, it can not get better than this for such great quality earbuds! Make sure you go out and buy yourself the Take a Hike Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds; support the cause; they are limited edition, so hurry!<\/span>\n\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Take a Hike Dime 2 True Wireless Earbuds Review","post_excerpt":"Wireless earbuds","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"take-a-hike-dime-2-true-wireless-earbuds-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-10-06 12:37:32","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-06 11:37:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208179","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208017,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-08-18 16:58:51","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-18 15:58:51","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Happy Juice Games<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC (Reviewed), Switch<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Joystick Ventures<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLost in Play<\/em>\u00a0is an innovative animated adventure game developed by Happy Juice Games and published by Joystick Ventures. The game reminds me of those old 2D point-and-click investigative games.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLost in Play<\/em>\u00a0is a 2D adventure puzzle game about two siblings, a brother and sister, trying to find their way back home. Throughout their adventure, they encounter many magical creatures and frogs! Various puzzles are presented to them to help them work their way over to the next area. This game is a single-player game. There are two main characters, where in certain scenarios, you are required to change to the other character. The non-selected character stays in position through the computer AI.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"lostinplay1\"\r\n\r\nThe controls of this game are simple. I like what they have done with the controller selection screen. At the start of the game, you can pick between three different; control layouts; mouse, keyboard and controller. For this review, I played this on the keyboard setting. I found the controls very easy to follow. I like how while playing the game, you see a pop-up for what you can interact with and the control written by it. If there were no pop-up icons for interactions, the game would have been a bit tedious.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe visuals of this game are drawn as they would belong in a cartoon. A very cartoonish style with bright colours. The overall design of the game reminds me of a show named\u00a0Gravity Falls<\/em>. This game is a mix between 2D and 3D aspects, the game; really has a bit of everything. The art style also adapts for certain puzzles, like the dog and sheep one; at the beginning looks more like a sketch than refined drawings. The animation for this game is very smooth and appealing to look at.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"lostinplay2\"\r\n\r\nI enjoyed the characters speaking gibberish rather than actual words. It fits well with the style of the game, and to show what is next, they have little icon dialogues. The music in the game is whimsical for certain situations. I do have to say the whacky and loud sound effects, like the bear growling, add more joy and thrill to the game. The sound effects go really well with the outlandish style, so everything in the game is outlandish!\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nI found this game to be very interesting; it definitely brought some nostalgia back, as I would play games similar to this when I was little. The game features all sorts of unique puzzles, though I would say at times they were more challenging than others. The hints given for some puzzles were not the best hints at times, so I would hope that the hints were a bit more useful for some of the puzzles. I love how no puzzle is similar to the other and fits the theme of the situation the kids are in. Overall, the game was very fun to play because of how challenging it was.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"lostinplay3\"\r\n\r\nIf you want to play a challenging puzzle game with a magical story, then\u00a0Lost in Play<\/em>\u00a0is the game for you! You encounter various puzzles that each have such amazing themes. Enjoy this interactive, exciting puzzle game with wonderful animations.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Lost in Play Review","post_excerpt":"2D point-and-click","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"lost-in-play-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:52:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:52:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208017","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207986,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-08-11 14:54:21","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-11 13:54:21","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Venturous<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC (Reviewed), PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X |S\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Ratalaika Games<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nVoyage<\/em>\u00a0is a cinematic adventure game developed by Venturous and published by Ratalaika Games. This review was done; playing on the PC.\u00a0Voyage<\/em>\u00a0will be coming out for consoles on August 12th. From the many games that I have played, I have never come across a game like this one.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nVoyage\u00a0<\/em>can be played cooperatively or by yourself. You start in a dimmed place with water on the ground and broken statues behind you. There are two characters on the screen, one with pink hair and the other with white hair. When playing single player, you have the opportunity to switch between the characters(in the single player mode, the AI assists you with the other character); the characters support each other by pushing large objects into place; or by giving them a boost up a ledge. You interact with your surroundings through a whimsical world, making your way to end your journey.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"voyage5\"\r\n\r\nThe controls for this game are very simple, and I love the keyboard pop-up at the start of the game. As you go to press the buttons, they highlight on the in-game keyboard to help you get used to the controls. The game does not bombard you with controls either; it has four base controls alongside the directional keys.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe art style of this game is fantastic and is so pleasing to look at. The game looks like a 3D game. Voyage is a 2D side-scrolling game and does such a great job captivating the player to enjoy a peaceful and calm environment. It is interesting to see the way; the background and different locations have been styled, giving a magical, enchanted feeling.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"voyage3\"\r\n\r\nThe style of the game looks like it belongs in a cartoon tv show that you watch and instantly fall in love with, reminds me of a show called\u00a0Steven Universe<\/em>. In addition to the background, the way the layering; is done to create the various areas you come across is done seamlessly. For example, in the forest, there is a treetop layer at the front and fog at the back with layers built over each other to create such great detail. The little dragonflies, fireflies, buffalos, and just the simplicity of how they are designed and added to this game are wonderful.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEverything about this game is so calm and relaxing, and the distinct sound effects and music make everything so much better. The background music has some similarities to\u00a0Studio Ghibli\u00a0<\/em>music which creates a tranquil, mystical atmosphere. Walking over water even makes the most subtle peaceful sound. The visuals and sound effects complement one another.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"voyage4\"\r\n\r\nI enjoyed this game so much, as it was something to sit back and wind down to. There are so many various aspects of this game that I loved. My personal favourite part would have to be the boat ride, as you watch the characters ride a boat and just admire their surroundings.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis game is, in many ways, soothing and has outdone itself with all of the art components. Soothing has outdone itself with all of the art components. There are even additions of simple puzzles where you need to be aware of your surroundings and even intriguing lore. I do wish the game was a bit longer, though. On top of that, I found the hug feature to be; a very cute touch; a game truly, like no other! If you want a game where you can sit back and enjoy a subtle little side-scrolling game, beating it either by yourself or with a friend,\u00a0Voyage<\/em>\u00a0is the game to check out. The game has spectacular visuals which captivate the player into a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere!<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Voyage Review","post_excerpt":"Cinematic adventure","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"voyage-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:53:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:53:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207986","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207969,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-08-04 15:25:12","post_date_gmt":"2022-08-04 14:25:12","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Coin Crew Games<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms: <\/strong>PC (Reviewed), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X |S\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublishers:<\/strong> iam8bit, Skybound Games<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nEscape Academy\u00a0is a puzzle game. The game is merely focused on different escape rooms. The game is developed by Coin Crew Games.\u00a0Escape Academy\u00a0is different; in its own sense but has a similar premise to the\u00a0Escape Simulator\u00a0game, which also is an escape room game.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game can be played either by yourself, locally with a friend or online. We played this game on PC; locally. It brought up a menu where you can select one player to be on the keyboard and another on a controller. To make sure that the game registers both players first, start on the keyboard, then press start on the controller. It seems that if; you press the controller first, the game does not let player one sign in. This game can be heavily focused on teamwork to help successfully escape the rooms before the rooms flood, get filled with poisonous gas and loads more.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"escapeacademy1\"\r\n\r\nThe main focus of this game is that you, as the player, are an amateur escapist, and you are going through various types of escape rooms which capture the immersive experiences of how it feels to be put, under a time-pressure, just like when you are; put in one in real life. You start off in a room and right away try to find your escape. The game introduces other characters who play out dialogue to explain what is happening at the academy. Alongside your escaping, there is a; bit of a story which guides you through the academy. There are three chapters, and you are training to become the ultimate escape room master.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe controls for both the; controller and keyboard\/mouse are very easy to work with. Controls also show up on the bottom left-hand side of the screen. A very important; control feature in this game would have to be the hint feature. The hint presents you with pictures of certain areas in the specific room to indicate where something may link with. The cooldown on the hint feature is also reasonable, making it so that the player does not constantly spam for the hints, which would ruin the experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"escapeacademy2\"\r\n\r\nWe really like how the characters are drawn out; for this game. The art style is; very unique and can be said to look cartoonish though with a realistic factor to it. It is also very interesting; how there are different styles for each character, from when you see them in-game to their design for the speech box. Each room; also has a different theme and the lighting effect creates the academy ambience. It gives off very harry potter, mistress, and academy vibes. The map also has various places which you can unlock to further go into. The map also looks great for a game, giving an overview of the academy as well as looking clean and bright.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn addition to the art style, the audio of the game; is also done well. The voice acting for the characters makes the game more atmospheric compared to there only being text to read. The audio can also be clues making that an essential part of the game too. The game developers using the voice acting to be a clue for certain areas of the escape room is creative. The sound effects for the game, the footsteps of your character, the little bleep noises when pushing buttons, and the success key noises, all work well together to make things feel more realistic.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"escapeacademy3\"\r\n\r\nCompared to other escape room games, which act as simulators, this game does a much better job to captivate the immersive experience and rush of how an escape room truly is. We personally; have gone to escape rooms in real life, and the game does a good job at honing in on your skills to be alert, collaborative, and become a better puzzle solver. With the difficulty increasing as you progress through the game, things start to get more intense, and you feel more in a hurry to solve the room. We personally liked the Tea n Tea room. I thought the radio was an amazing place to leave a clue. Throughout the rooms, we found many creative ways clues were left and how the escaping was repeated as much, thus giving new ways to solve locks and doors to get out.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a mind-challenging game which you can either play by yourself or with a friend, then this is the game for you. The game challenges your teamwork skills as well as puts you under pressure to escape within a given time. You make your way through many different levels and difficulties.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 6\/10\u00a0<\/span>","post_title":"Escape Academy Review","post_excerpt":"Puzzle game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"escape-academy-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:53:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:53:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207969","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207939,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2022-07-27 16:33:17","post_date_gmt":"2022-07-27 15:33:17","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>BLOODIOUS GAMES<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms: <\/strong>PC (Reviewed), PS4, PS5, Switch (July 29th), Xbox Series X |S\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Adventure, Horror, First-person<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:\u00a0<\/strong>Perp Games<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMADiSON<\/em> is a first-person psychological horror game. This game is developed by BLOODIOUS GAMES<\/em>. Games similar to this game include Outlast<\/em>; and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou start trapped in a room full of distraught and bloody pictures. You find yourself making your way through your grandparents' house and come across some horrific situations. You pick up an extremely handy tool, an instant camera, which helps you through puzzles to get out of the hands of the spectral spirit, Madison. It's a pure puzzle game that features no combat, unlike the combat found in games such as\u00a0Resident Evil 7: Biohazard<\/em>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"madison1\"\r\n\r\nThe controls for the game are very straightforward when playing on the PC. It is very useful how the game shows highlights of the controls at the bottom of the screen when interacting with items. If the game did not have this feature whilst walking throughout the house, it would take much longer for the player to find what item they are looking for. Thus, making this feature extremely important. On the other hand, using the mouse to open the doors can be a bit frustrating. The control for the door or opening handles has a bit of weird pull back, which makes things slightly difficult.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe visuals of the game resemble another first-person horror game by the name of\u00a0Outlast<\/em>. The visuals are not as gory as you would think, but they are realistic. Tiny details like the cockroaches, the clocks and many other items bring the game more to life and are extremely compelling to look at. The minimal lighting brings the overall playing of the game harder, yet it puts the instant camera to a lot more use due to its flash. After using the instant camera in certain places like, for example, the picture of the man in the corridor. The effect that plays after using it, which is an intense screen shake and loud thump; leads to a change. Using the camera creates this horrifying, lurking atmosphere when playing. The game is played best during the nighttime, with the lights turned off.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"madison3\"\r\n\r\nThe game truly is best played with headphones on. Many sound effects like glass breaking, the creaking of the doors, and the creaking of the wooden floor add to the dreadful, paranoiac atmosphere. The voice acting done for the character makes the game even more captivating to play. The visuals coincide with the sound effects. We find the voice acting to be an essential part of this game-making; it so much better.<\/span>\r\n\r\nUnlike some other games where jumpscares tend to be finicky or predictable, this game does a good job when it comes to jumpscares. Our favourite jumpscare that caught us completely off guard was one found in a well and another in a corridor of the house. The jumpscares throughout this game are done well and do not compare to other games which have jumpscares that you can see coming. The difficulty of the puzzles increases as you progress in the game, meaning you need to pay close attention to your surroundings.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"madison4\"\r\n\r\nSomething about the game that we enjoyed was the whole story-driven aspect and being able to walk around taking pictures with the instant camera. We found the instant camera to be such an interesting feature of the game, which made it different from other horror games. The idea of the instant camera opening up new areas and helping get deeper into the game is done wonderfully. We would want the door mechanic to be fixed up a bit, as it seems slightly stiff. Also, it is interesting how you can take many pictures without running out of film!\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for an atmospheric well, story-driven horror game with aspects of puzzling and using a surprising well mechanic, which is the instant camera. This game is then just for you. For horror game lovers, and even if you want to try out a really good horror game on its own, then definitely give\u00a0MADiSON<\/em>\u00a0a try!<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Madison Review","post_excerpt":"First-person psychological","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"madison-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:54:38","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:54:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207939","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206517,"post_author":"30","post_date":"2021-07-02 17:16:46","post_date_gmt":"2021-07-02 16:16:46","post_content":"

The Isklander trilogy is an alternate reality adventure, a virtual escape room. The trilogy is made by the Swamp Motel, an immersive entertainment company and the experience makers behind the London based Resident Evil 2 escape room \/ haunted house hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the virtual escape room, you scrumage through social media posts, hack into emails, scavenge through websites, make phone calls. It\u2019s a combination between fiction and reality, an augmented reality approach to the game. The escape room can be played with up to 6 players. You all are present in a video meeting where you and your team are presented with the case you need to solve in under 90 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isklander makes great use of the theme of Lonon and the shady going-ons (in this story) to help describe a wonderfully crafted story. The story has a level of intrigue that makes you want to hunt down each clue and solve it. In some instances, you will have to comb over the evidence more than once to find the clues. The team-based activities make this a joy. The acting and voice-overs all add to the mysterious going ons, it\u2019s all superbly produced and presented.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/vimeo.com\/566174041\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n

We played through the first story: <\/span>Plymouth Point - A Missing Person Hunt<\/span><\/em>. In this story, Ivy Isklander has gone missing and it is our job to find her as we have recently just joined Plymouth Point Resident\u2019s watch. <\/span><\/p>\n

My team consisted of 4 players in total. One person on the team was sharing their screen as we looked through the clues. I found the experience to be very fun and interesting. It started off as a video call with an old lady which made it seem like it was real. The clues were easy to follow and were not very confusing. The only thing that was a bit obstructed was the one part where we were to find the second part of a recording but we could not figure out the puzzle until the clue was sent to us via chat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"isklander1\"<\/p>\n

As another player on the team, what I liked about the game is that it was easy to play and ran smoothly. There were parts where things were easier to find, and solve and some weren't that easier. I personally really enjoyed playing and can\u2019t wait to play the others!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"isklander1\"<\/p>\n

To be honest, I have never been in an escape room, so I did not know what to expect. I did see the trailer for how to play Isklander. I am happy to say it was a lot of fun and I did enjoy myself and it was much better than what I thought when I was looking at the trailer. To be fair as this was the first part of the trilogy, I did enjoy the setup and the story. I would have loved for it to have a few more live-action performances; as I think they were so engaging and hooked me in. I did have the odd network issue (that could have been on my end) but it was a little annoying. The time seemed to go so quickly but that could have been because I was having such a good time with my team trying to solve the escape room. I would like to play the other two parts of the trilogy to see what else Swamp Motel can do with this: reality adventure. I would recommend anyone who likes the idea of a virtual escape room to check it out with their friends and family, I am sure they will have a lot of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may have heard of Kingdom: New Lands<\/em> which was a reworked version of the original game. As for Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em>, it\u2019s a sequel in the series. Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> is a 2D side-scrolling strategy game developed by three developers: Coatsink, Stumpy Squid and Fury studios. The publisher of the game is Raw Fury who has published other games like Atomicrops<\/em> and Night Call<\/em>.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCooperative play is something that differs Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> from its previous games. You can experience the wonders of the game by yourself or with a fellow friend, locally or online. I appreciate the new multiplayer feature as it heightens the game\u2019s level of fun. With the Dead Lands DLC (which is a free update to the game), players can switch between four new monarchs inspired by the game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night<\/em>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Kingdom\r\n\r\nYou start your journey playing the role of a king or queen who rides atop their horse. You enter a realm in which you have to maintain your kingdom. Gold is very important in this game since it can be used to turn peasants into loyal subjects. You need to flourish your kingdom with many subjects and have them occupy a job to help defend your kingdom from the night terrors. As night falls, greedy creatures come out to steal your coins and crown, and once the crown is obtained by the pesky creatures, the kingdom has fallen. So it\u2019s important to recruit, hunt, and upgrade your kingdom. You can also explore the depths of the mysterious forests where you will find loot, structures, mounts, and more to help you sustain your kingdo<\/span>m.\r\n\r\nKingdom Two Crowns<\/em> consists of five different Islands. Each island has the same playthrough, where the Monarch establishes its permanent kingdom to survive the greed of the creatures. But the islands do differ from one another, both in size and difficulty. As you progress through the game and make your way to the next island, things will start to get more difficult. You will encounter new and stronger creatures that will try to steal your crown. For you to travel to other islands, you need a boat, and the boat on its own takes a while to repair. Once you are set and loaded on your island you can be ready to move on to the next island, but the longer you stay away from an island, your buildings begin to decay which can always make things very tedious.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Kingdom\r\n\r\nThe controls for Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> are simple and minimal. As the game is a side-scrolling game, meaning that you go from one side to the other, the only moving controls are moving to the left and right. You then have other controls like a sprint, drop, pay, mount special, and monarch special. Overall the controls work very smoothly.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhen first starting Kingdom Two Crowns<\/em> you are appointed with three \u201cgame skins\u201d to pick from. What this means is that you have the original art style and then you have a reskin of the game where it includes Japanese style elements to the game. The Japenese reskin is called Kingdom: Shogun<\/em>. What is interesting is that the Japanese style introduces things like a samurai as your character, a bamboo forest, different lighting, and other captivating details. The reskin of the game is very nice as it gives players a new perspective to look at. The other reskin is the Kingdom: Dead Lands<\/em> one, where the atmosphere is more dreary and ominous.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe art style of this game, in my opinion, is alluring. Everything is very minimalistic, but it works so well with its beautiful pixel art aesthetic. The attention to detail put in this game is also incredible. The reflection that you can see off your character in the water, the little fishes that jump everyone now and then. Everything in the game looks so calm and wonderful. The trees are ruffled and the lighting is so well set too. You can ride through the forest and have it be where the forest background has light shining through peaks of the leaves. The grass, even the roots in the dirt, the bunnies, and the overall style of the kingdom is perfectly designed.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Kingdom\r\n\r\nOn top of that, the soundtrack and the sound effects are fitting too. I do have to say that the art style and sounds complement one another to create such a lovely atmosphere. Sound effects like the ping when the gold is used, the river running, the chopping of the trees, really helps the player feel like they are actually in the game. The music is also so calming, as you ride your horse through the forest, soft mellow music begins to play which sets this fantasy feel for the mood. The aesthetic of this game is beyond wonderful and so pleasing to look at and play with. It truly sits greatly with the standards of a \u201cKingdom\u201d.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKingdom Two Crowns<\/em>, is an extremely enjoyable, pleasant, strategic game that has an appealing feel and looks to make the player want to keep playing. The game gives a wondrous experience, which dives into a fantasy stylized atmosphere that can be worthwhile on your own or with a friend.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Kingdom Two Crowns Review","post_excerpt":"Build your kingdom","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"kingdom-two-crowns-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:19:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:19:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205243","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":20},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};
