Immortals: Fenyx Rising Review – The Legend of Fenyx

The Greek Gods are in trouble, and it’s up to you to save them. That’s the setup for Immortals: Fenyx Rising, the newest game out of Open-World Connoisseur and publishers Ubisoft. You play as Fenyx, a hero out to stop the newly escaped Typhon by saving the Greek Pantheon.

Generic title aside, the game harkens back to the Zelda-like school of game design, with fun themed areas and a focus on solving puzzles. Despite that, however, it also boasts a large open world set in The Golden Isle. As the third Ubisoft Open-World in 2 months, how does the game square up? Read on and find out:

A Charming Sense Of Appeal
I think the best thing Immortals: Fenyx Rising has going for it is its design. Personally, I’m a little burned out with all the “edgy” takes on Greek Mythology, made popular by games like the original God of War and movies like the Clash of the Titans remake.
Instead, Fenyx Rising takes the Hercules approach, with plenty of iconic monsters fairly detached from their original canon. Generic minotaurs and gorgons are cool, and not every game needs to be about how humanity were the real monsters the whole time.

As a result of the game’s more cartoony look, the enemies also have great designs thanks to their unique silhouette. Considering how popular “myth and monsters” is as a genre, the aim here is really just about creating a recognizable design that feels fresh, and I feel like Fenyx succeeds in this metric.

Ancient Greece’s Best Double-Act
There’s also the case of the game’s double-act narrators, Prometheus And Zeus. In our first impressions I compared them to Statler and Waldorf, though aside from being old and never shutting up, there’s not much else to compare there.
Prometheus is the straight man of the two, just telling you the game’s story as best he can. Meanwhile, Zeus tries to interject at every opportunity, with witty comments. As much as I hate constant interjections to keep things funny, the fact that the two of them sound like two old Greek men at a coffee shop telling you a long-winded story when all you wanted to know was where the bus stop was.
The result is a game that feels light, which works to its strengths. The biggest problem with open worlds is the constant feeling of peril getting in the way while you have to pick 5 flowers, and Fenyx’s more lighthearted approach to its story works well in alleviating that stress.

Make Your Own Fenyx
One of the surprising features of this game is the ability to customize Fenyx. At the start of the game you can customize Fenyx’s gender, and can further customize Fenyx to even alter their skin color.
This does bring me to one of my big gripes with the game, its store. You can buy your own weapon skins with real money, and although they have no real gameplay effect it does leave a poor taste in the mouth.

The game would have been a perfectly fine romp on its own accord, but the idea of a single player game suddenly having paid weapon skins just reminds you that this is the new normal for premium games, and it’s a little exhausting to think about.
Of course, you can always just skip over this tab of the menu, but remember: it’s always there.

A Great Winged Leap Of Faith
Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a Zelda-like, with particularly strong cues taken from Breath of The Wild. The whole island is a giant playground, and you are but a set of tools to interact with it as you see fit.
I’ve gotta appreciate the honesty here, since you don’t really talk to any NPCs. After the the NPC-heavy Legion and Valhalla, it’s great to have a game where not every person has a long, tragic backstory.
Instead, your objective is to free the Gods, who have all been imprisoned by Typhon. Each of these Gods has their own zone on the map, with terrain and enemies built around their same themes.
Just like Ubisoft’s other games, you’ll need to get to vantage points to unlock the map, though don’t get too carried away and attempt a leap of faith. These will get you killed if you’re not prepared, since there’s not unassuming haystack waiting for you at the end.
I really enjoy this formula for level design, with all the themed zones. Nowadays a lot of open world games are more focused on having the open world all mesh together, it becomes a timeless slog to navigate through them. With the God-based zones, it’s easier to pace yourself and more importantly, it keeps things interesting.

All Along The Golden Isles
Traversal is exceptionally fun with Fenyx, as they have a multitude of tools at their disposal. You can run, climb as well as fly through the lands, though all at the cost of your stamina.
Additionally you can tame various animals to be your mount, so even if you’re in a flat area, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to still cover good distances.
Naturally, the horse isn’t really recommended outside of travel between zones, since you’re not likely to have that much free space without something of interest to keep an eye out for.
Flying is probably the most fun form of traversal, as Fenyx can also dive to build speed. My one gripe here is that if you run out of stamina Fenyx simply drops out of the sky. I feel like it really breaks the immersion of the game, since you’d expect to lose the use of abilities when you’re out of stamina, and dropping like sack of potatoes really breaks the feeling of momentum.

Fenyx And The Temple Of Doom
At the core of Immortals: Fenyx Rising are its Tartarus Vaults, where players will complete puzzles for big rewards. These are where the game hits its peak Zelda- you’ll interact with all manner of laughably intricate traps, like beams and conveniently designed pillars to block them one at a time.
The game is also nice enough to tell you if these dungeons can actually be completed with your current skillset, so you can always come back to them later if you’re missing certain skills.
These can be really fun, since every skill gets their chance to shine in these vaults. They’re also a lot more directed compared to the open world segments, which is great if you’re easily distracted by the vast amount of stuff to do.
As a result some of the abilities feel like they’re exclusively for these challenges, such as Artemis’ Arrow which lets you remotely control an arrow after launching it akin to Arkham City.
One problem though is that they tend to get repetitive over time, and never really feel like they scale up in actual difficulty. While I’m sure the aim was to make them more accessible, the result is that all the dungeons just feel like, well, stuff. It’s just another item on a checklist of things to do.

Combat
Of course, Fenyx Rising has plenty of combat options as well. Fenyx has several weapons, from a sword, a bow and even a two-handed axe. These make up your typical light-heavy-range options, which work pretty well for what the game is going for.
Surprisingly, the game does go for a bit of depth, with perfect evades and even air combos. Yet it’s never so technical that it gets into character action category. The combat is kind of fine, and it’s clear it wasn’t really meant to be the focus of the game.
You can eventually make the fights more interesting with new Godly abilities, but all in all it leaves a bit of a poor first impression. It’s not too big of a black mark on the game since there’s so much more going on with it but ultimately it’s not a great one, either.
You also have a vast array of potions, which you get more of by collecting various plants in the overworld. These can boost health, attack and even stamina.

Closing Thoughts
Despite my gripes, Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a perfectly fine game. Its charming upbeat style is a breath of fresh air, especially compared to the other heavier titles out of of Ubisoft in the recent months.
Speaking of, it should be commended that Ubisoft have just kind of rolled with their reputation for Open Worlds. The game feels distinctly different from both Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion, despite fundamentally being about exploring large open areas.
That being said, they’ve also rolled with their reputation for forcing in the same features into every game, such as the pretty blatantly tacked-on store. What was an otherwise solid game suddenly feels very corporate, and its nothing short of a miracle that we aren’t being charged for a Flossing Fenyx emote.
It’s a solid adventure game, and the lack of ever pressuring you with some grand narrative makes it the perfect game to close out the year with thanks to how easy it is to just pick up and play.

Pros:
Cons:

Traversal is fun
The store is an eyesore

Simple puzzles
Combat is a little too simple

Great appeal

Final Score:
7/10

The lyrics were created by Hotaru who has a lot of experience working on creating the worlds of many different types of anime. The song has both a strong message but naive tone due to Hotaru’s delicate lyrics which match the story of the Anime.
The song features PelleK’s signature high-toned voice which is able to hit a four-octave vocal range. The result is a very unique anime song that has a global feeling about it.

PelleK himself commented:
“Hello, this is PelleK, I sing the opening theme song for the Anime “Skeleton Knight in Another World”. I was super surprised when I was approached by Pony Canyon, which is a Japanese record label, to sing the official opening in Japanese nonetheless. I have been singing for 15 years now and am a huge Anime fan, so this is a dream come true for me. I know how big an impact the opening has on an Anime franchise. So, I was so honored by this great opportunity and I’ve done my best. This song itself perfectly captures both the strength of the characters and the universe, but also how fragile everything is. I hope you like it and listen to it a lot!”
Skeleton Knight in Another World is currently airing this anime season.

Thankfully, the movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, embracing all the silliness that’s made Dynasty Warriors such an enduring property, even including shots of people falling from the sky after characters do their big musou attacks.
While the movie had previously released in April, this would be the first the movie gets shown outside of China. The added convenience of being able to watch it at home also means you’ll actually get to see it, instead of waiting for Covid restrictions to let up.

Acer announces brand new Predator Helios 700 and upgraded version of Predator Helios 300

[email protected] 2019 just came to an end a short while ago and we saw some really impressive new releases from Acer, as we reported earlier. Let’s look more into the new Predator Helios 700 and upgraded Predator Helios 300.

In case you missed out on the live stream:

The impressive-looking Predator Helios 700 is designed with a unique HyperDrift forward-sliding keyboard that helps maximize airflow to keep the system running cool and quiet. It’s also powered by the all-new 9th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 GPU and 64GB of DDR4 memory.

The HyperDrift keyboard is undoubtedly one of Predator Helios 700‘s most fascinating features and mind you, it’s not just for design and comfort purposes as it’s also part of the powerful laptop’s unique thermal architecture. It consists of two of Acer’s custom-engineered 4th Gen AeroBlade 3D fans, five copper heat pipes, a vapor chamber and Acer CoolBoost Technology.

Introducing the all-new #Helios700. #NextAtAcer✅Innovation: Revolutionary HyperDrift sliding keyboard for improved thermals and ergonomics ✅Power: Up to #9thGen @Intel® Core™ i9 processors✅Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 2070 or 2080 graphics https://t.co/yPhcoTvgWr pic.twitter.com/iIWY7YJc6d

By sliding the keyboard down, it allows extra air flow into the laptop for maximum cooling through two additional air intakes. Furthermore, the glass panel also provides a view of the laptop’s heat pipes! With the HyperDrift keyboard, there’s no need to worry about the Predator Helios 700 overheating at all.
Now to the upgraded Predator Helios 300, it features a new 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 or 2060 and the latest GeForce GTX GPU. Compared to the old version, it has also gotten a new look with its metal chassis with teal blue accents and keyboard backlighting that can be found on other Predator gaming laptops. The Predator Helios 300 is definitely the one to look out for if you are looking for a decent mid-range laptop.

Arena Breakout release date announced by Tencent

China-based publisher and developer Tencent has just revealed more details on the release of Arena Breakout, its upcoming strategy FPS for the Android and iOS platforms.  After completing a beta in August 2021, the game is set for another round of closed beta tests before its official release in China on 26 July 2022, according to Tencent.

At first glance, Arena Breakout will be somewhat familiar if you have played the likes of PUBG, Call of Duty: Warzone and Escape From Tarkov. If anything, the latter best describes what the experience of playing Tencent’s offering is like due to its environments and gameplay. For example, unlike battle royales where you are usually offered an opportunity to revive, Escape From Tarkov does not offer any respawns, so you are going to be losing all progress and gear upon death. This is survival in the truest sense of the word, and Arena Breakout intends to bring that experience to the mobile.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia due out for iOS and Android this year

For those who are new to Dissidia, it is an arena battle fighting game with heroes and villains taken from every installment of Square Enix’s popular RPG series. It has a unique fighting system that sets itself apart from the rest and was one of the first to really explore the “mash-up” concept.

Opera Omnia, however, isn’t a fighting game but a F2P social RPG instead. The trailer shows similar stylish special moves like the main Dissidia games, but so far we can’t tell what will make the game more special than the other Final Fantasy mash-ups. It’s unclear whether it will be releasing in countries outside of Japan, but we’ll keep you updated.

Alchemy Stars opens pre-registrations worldwide

Alchemy Stars has opened pre-registrations, roughly a month since the closed beta ended. Curiously enough, at time of writing, a similar announcement was not made on the official Japanese Twitter account, though presumably it will just be a matter of time. You can check out the English Twitter here, as well as the official English site here.

As is usually the case, Alchemy Stars comes with pre-registrations milestones:

The currency given out with the pre-reg should be equivalent to 4 gacha pulls total, which is quite stingy, provided no changes were made.
In any case, it’s unusual enough that this game is likely to be made available to all territories simultaneously, a large undertaking no matter the title. If you haven’t seen our previous coverage, then check out:

Vivo V20 and Vivo V20 Pro Review – Sublime Photography At Your Fingertips

We’re at that time of year where it’s a perfectly reasonable time to start thinking about getting a new phone. With phones only getting more specialized, it’s especially hard to pick if you like both gaming and photography. But what if there was a phone that did both? For your consideration, the Vivo V20 and V20 Pro.

Both of these phones use Vivo’s incredible camera and photography technology to make sure you’re taking the best photos you can even at night. Under the hood however, they’re two totally different beasts. A special thanks to Vivo Malaysia for letting us check out these phones.

The Looks
Both phones are incredibly stylish, with that sleek rectangular shape, free of any visual clutter. They’re both also pretty thin, at about 7.4mm in thickness. It’s great for slipping into your pocket, though it does tend to feel a little light in your hands as a result. Some of us more anxious consumers might need to get a case, just to give it a little more weight. Here’s the problem with getting a case though: the colors on these phones are almost too lovely to cover up.
The V20 we were given came in a color called “Sunset Anthem”. It’s a really cool color that changes depending on the angle, giving the phone a very surreal feel. The different colors go from blue to purple to a hint of orange, so this is definitely a great color to get if you’re easily amused an just like admiring it from all the different angles.

Meanwhile, the V20 Pro we looked at comes in an off-white called Moonlight Sonata. This color doesn’t have any cool visual gimmicks to it, it just looks classy. That being said, it doesn’t give me the same anxiety that white phone cases do, since it should be a lot easier to maintain than white plastic.

Both phones come in either color, along with a third Midnight Jazz. So you won’t have to worry about preferring the specs of one phone but wanting the cooler color options of the other.
It should be noted, however, that the Vivo V20 Pro does not come with a 3.5mm Headphone jack. This means you’re going to need some Bluetooth solutions should you decide to want headphones with this device.

Camera
The Vivo V20 and V20 Pro break all the stereotypes of weak front-facing cameras. With the V20, users get access to a 44MP camera, capable of shooting video in 4K at up to 30fps. It’s especially great for vlogging, since you’ll get a really clear picture with the front camera while still being able to see the screen.
On top of that, the Vivo V20’s front camera comes with face detection technology, to always keep your face in focus. The technology is pretty reliable for every day use, so you’ll never have to worry about your video blurring you out at random.

Not wanting to be outdone, the V20 Pro has one more trick on its front-facing camera. The phone has a second lens for the camera, allowing you to switch between a powerful 44MP lens, as well as an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens for those big group selfies.
Similarly, it’s pretty impressive on the back end. The back camera comes equipped with three different lenses, to cover a wide variety of situations.
These are a 64MP main camera, 8MP Multi-scene lens as well as a 2MP black-and-white lens. Even every on-the-go photographer’s worst fear, night shooting, is no match for the Vivo V20 and its high tech algorithms. The phone has a multi-exposure overlay algorithm, to help your night shots look perfect.

These pictures look great in motion, too. With the V20 you’re going to be recording videos at 4K in 60FPS, which is perfect for all sorts of high-energy recording. Personally, this means a lot of great pet recordings, since even the clumsiest cat is going to be recorded crisply with this tech.
Of course, it also comes with a Dual Shooting mode, whereby you can use both cameras simultaneously. This is especially great for aspiring vloggers, as you can capture big moments as well as your reactions on the go.

Display
The Vivo V20 and V20 Pro come with a 6.44-inch AMOLED screen, complete with fingerprint ID support. Additionally they also support face unlocking, so you won’t have to worry about unlocking your phone if you’re on the go.
This screen boasts high contrast and saturation colors, so you’ll be able to view all sorts of content on it without worrying about being bottlenecked by the screen’s display. It also boasts darker shadows than non-AMOLED screens, so expect plenty of good-looking wallpaper options for the phones.
The phones also use AG Matte Glass on its back, creating a look that’s both elegant to look at as well as pleasant to touch. It’s also smudge proof, so you won’t have to worry about getting fingerprints on the back of the phone.
Games

V20
The V20 uses a Snapdragon 720G Processor, which is a decent mid-range chip. Thanks to its onboard AI, the phone is pretty decent at running videos without running too hot or taking a toll on your battery.
It also comes with 8GB ram and 128GB storage space, which means plenty of room for your photos and videos.
From a gaming perspective it’s a perfectly serviceable phone, though thanks to its mid-range chip isn’t really sitting on the cutting edge of gaming. The 720G processor is more suited to watching videos than graphically intensive gaming.
The phone barely runs Genshin Impact, one of the most physically demanding games on the market right now. Trying to play it on high graphics settings will cause the phone to heat up, as well as the game itself to freeze. Even on lower settings, the phone struggles to get past the 15fps mark with it.
It’s not too great at running League Of Legends: Wild Rift, either. Ultimately the controls tend to feel unresponsive, and the framerate tends to be inconsistent. That being said, it does actually run. Considering Wild Rift is much more targeted at a wide audience, its a good indication that the V20 is a perfectly serviceable gaming phone.
What this means is that while the phone certainly won’t handle anything too demanding, it should be able to run most normal games just fine.

V20 Pro
Unlike the V20, the Pro’s chip has explicit manufacturer comments about its ability to game. There’s a much larger reputation to live up to when it comes to the 765G Snapdragon.
With that being said, the phone is certainly able to back up its pro-gaming talk. Unlike the V20, the V20 Pro has no issues running Genshin Impact at 60fps. On top of that, the phone’s on-board AI and D5 Vapor Chamber Liquid Cooling help regulate its thermals, making sure those fire effects don’t actually burn your fingers.
Similarly, the phone runs Call of Duty Mobile effortlessly as well. While it never breaks 60fps, it provides a smooth gaming experience for users. The screen also feels extra responsive, making for a much more enjoyable time.
The Similarities
The two phones share similar specs when it comes to batteries, with both running a 4000mAH unit. These batteries can be charged relatively quickly, getting to a respectable 65% in half an hour.
Additionally, the two phones also come with an “Ultra game mode”, which can be used to control things like heat output and even notifications while you game. It’s a great feature, especially for those of us who hate being bombarded in texts while we’re grinding for loot.
While the V20 is definitely more of an all-rounder phone, the V20 Pro certainly gives a more power-focused push with its 5G enabled processor and more efficient cooling.

Final Thoughts
Despite the similar names, the Vivo V20 and Vivo V20 Pro are phones targeted at very specific types of users.
The V20, for one, is an excellent phone for the every man. It has plenty of features that would be considered a luxury on other phones, such as its face-focused technology.
Meanwhile, the V20 Pro seems to have an “everything, but more,” approach to the V20. From its additional front-facing camera options to its markedly superior chip, the V20 Pro definitely brings top-of-the-line performance for its asking price.
On top of that, both phones come at a decent price for their specs. The Vivo V20 is available from RM1499, while the V20 Pro clocks in at RM1899.
Don’t forget you can pick these phones up with a special promotion via your local telcos, starting from 22nd October for Digi, 24th for Celcom and an as-of-yet unannounced date for Maxis.
Alternatively, you can also pick these up via the official Vivo Malaysia Lazada and Shopee pages.

How to play Android Games with a PS4 DualShock 4 Controller

Troubled by the thought of which controller to buy in order to play your favorite mobile games?

First of all, you will need a PS4 Dualshock 4 controller (obviously) and an Android smartphone. After activating the Bluetooth function on your smartphone, press the PS and Share buttons on your PS4 DualShock 4 controller simultaneously for 5 seconds. You will be able to pair your smartphone with the controller when you see the white LED on your controller blink twice repeatedly. You can enjoy mobile games on your smartphone with the controller once the pairing is done!

I tried using the PS4 DualShock 4 Controller to test out a few of games including Modern Combat 5: eSports FPS, Shadow Fight 3 and Asphalt 8. Compared to the virtual joystick or the accelerometers on smartphone, playing games with the controller gives out a really different gaming experience (in a good way).
Although there are only a few of the mobile games that allow in-game controls with a controller, it is actually a surprise that you can connect a PS4 controller to a smartphone and play mobile games with it. Unfortunately, only Android smartphones are supporting this new feature for now, it is not available for iOS smartphones yet. Have you tried out any games using the PS4 controller? Share your experience with us below!

Bloodborne PSX Demake Fangame Now Available

Lilith Walther’s Bloodborne PSX Demake is now available for download, ironically enough being the closest fans have gotten to Bloodborne on PC.

For months Walther has been teasing fans with clips of the Bloodborne PSX Demake, which sees From Software’s Gothic Horror game given an old school coat of paint.

You can download the title for free from Itch.Io, which supports both controller and mouse and keyboard controls, and even uses Dpad controls to really mimic the PSX experience.
“Thank you for the support over the 13 month dev period. It means so much to me“, she says.

It should be noted that the game is 100% a fan project, and has no relation for From Software or PlayStation Studios.
PSX-style visuals aside, the game is a pretty 1:1 recreation of From Software’s Bloodborne. It’s obviously very proud of this, as the trailer shows iconic moments from the game’s story such as the fight against Father Gascoigne and the Cleric Beast.
In the spirit of the PSX era of games, Walther also released a list of cheatcodes for the game to really kick up your experience.

SOCKEM – unarmed gets a small damage boost
 TOPHEAVY – big head mode
YESYOUCAN – pet dog mode
CONVOLUTED – alter time with the right stick
SPLATSILVER – paintball mode
 ICHANGEDMYMINDTO + [text] – change your name
WHATIFITWAS + [text] – change ‘you died’ text

Bloodborne has a special place in the Soulsborne community, largely due in part to the fact that the game never launched outside of  the PS4. The mix of high praise and limited ways to play it created a much more passionate fanbase, eager to get the game on PC where more people can play it.

Shadowverse Eternal Awakening is here

With three more days before the year ends, Shadowverse CCG launched its Granblue Fantasy collaboration event today, called Shadowverse Eternal Awakening. This event will be from 28th December 2020 to 31st January 2021.

The free to play collectable online card game released its nineteenth expansion today. Shadowverse Eternal Awakening features 97 new cards that will find their way into players’ decks, with many more said to be on the way. Apparently, Christmas is not over yet, as players will receive 10 Eternal Awakening packs upon release.

According to the Shadowverse official website:
This set features characters from Cygames’ popular RPG title, Granblue Fantasy, and introduces two new mechanics: “Skybound Art” and “Super Skybound Art.” Card effects written as “Skybound Art (10)” will activate when you play the card on your 10th turn or later, while an effect written as “Super Skybound Art (15)” will activate on your 15th turn or later. Furthermore, every time an allied follower evolves, the Skybound Art and Super Skybound Art values of all cards in your hand are reduced by 1, and their effects can be activated 1 turn earlier.

Based on the description above, these new keywords seem similar to the Union Burst mechanic.
Besides the 97 new cards available from the expansion’s release, two new leader cards are obtainable. Purchasing the new Leader Pack will entitle players to slick-looking sleeves.

To reward active players, there will be special login rewards for 10 days. Rewards include Eternal Awakening card pack tickets, a Lyria emblem and sleeves.
In addition, new quests are available for solo play. By achieving victory against computer opponents, players can get alternate art-cards, emblems, flairs and sleeves.
As usual, players can also win event-exclusive rewards by winning their matches.
As both Shadowverse and Granblue Fantasy are IPs developed by Cygames, both titles see frequent collaborations with each other. The previous collaboration event took place in Granblue Fantasy.

Taiwan-based game developer Rayark has announced a 2019 release window and showcased four minutes of gameplay from its rhythm game Deemo Reborn for the PlayStation 4 during a presentation at RayarkCon 2017.

Deemo Reborn will be the developer’s first PlayStation 4 title, which will be playable with the DualShock 4 or PlayStation Move controllers, in addition to the PlayStation VR. All of the popular songs from the original Deemo will make its way here, on top of new ones.

In case you didn’t know, Deemo was first released for the Android and iOS back in 2013 as a score-based music game with all original songs. And unlike games of its ilk, the Deemo also featured a full-fledged story, which is one of its highlights as well. The original game has got several million in downloads, so that is definitely a success in its own right, but whether or not PS4 owners will be equally as enthralled remains to be seen.

‘Football Manager 2019 Touch’ And ‘Football Manager 2019 Mobile’ Are Now Up In Stores!

If you love football and have been playing the FIFA or PES series on consoles, then you might want to bring your game on mobile too! The latest version of the football manager series, ‘Football Manager 2019 Touch‘ and ‘Football Manager 2019 Mobile‘, are now up in both iOS and Android stores! They of course, are priced but worth it if you have been following the series.

The Touch version is a product that’s made compatible for the tablet and PC that provides the main Football Manager experience. So if you own a PC or a tablet, it is best to get the Touch version. While for those who are not fortunate enough or prefer to play it on a singular device which you bring often all the time (your mobile phone), then the Football Manger 2019 Mobile is the best as it is tuned down to work on smaller screens.

However, don’t worry if you’re thinking of only getting either one of them. The contents will be delivered the same and will receive the same updates in the future as well. If you’ve made up your mind, the Football Manager 2019 Touch is purchasable at RM 79.90 while Football Manager 2019 Mobile is available at a cheaper price of RM 37.90 or either your Google Play Store or App Store.

As sharp as it can get – Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) review

Razer‘s rolled out their Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) edition, boasting plenty of high end features into a slim package. The realm of gaming laptops is a highly saturated and competitive one, so every little edge a machine can get can help it go far, much like the highly competitive gaming titles you would want to use it for. Let’s go through this baby step by step, and see what it has to offer.

KEY SPECS

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Here’s the basic rundown of what the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) model can come with:

OS: Windows 10 Home
Processor: 8-Core Intel® Core™i7
Graphics: Up to GeForce GTX™ 3080
Display: FHD 360 Hz, QHD 240 Hz or 4K OLED Touch
Storage: 1 TB PCIe, Extra M.2 PCIe Slot
Memory: 16 GB or 32 GB RAM
Cooling: Vapor Chamber
Keyboard: Per-key RGB Razer Chroma
Approx. Height: 0.67” / 16.99 mm

DESIGN AND KEYBOARD

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Design wise, it barely looks any different from last year’s model, measuring at 0.67″ / 16.99 mm. What you get is a black aluminium chassis, and the glossy green Razer logo on the front lid. Once you open it up, it’s more of the black aluminium, with a small keyboard, two speakers flanking the left and right of the keyboard, and a touchpad. The N-Key rollover keyboard has per-key RGB Razer Chroma, with the lighting customizable via Razer synapse.
The sleek look gives it a very premium feeling, and is certainly well built. However, fingerprints can be left quite easily on the material, smudging it here and there. As you might expect from its size, the small keyboard probably won’t suit everyone, and could lead to many a typo when you’re uncomfortable. It does at least feel nice to type with, leaning to a more ‘mechanical’ feeling over a membrane one. Whether this is a plus or minus point, that’ll be up to your personal preference.

With regards to ports, you pretty much get all that you might want to use:

1 x Thunderbolt™ 3 (USB-C), Supports 20V USB-C chargers with PD 3.0
3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB-A)
USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, Supports 20V USB-C chargers with PD 3.0
SD Card Reader, UHS-III
HDMI 2.1 output (Up to 8K 60Hz or 4K 120Hz)
Kensington Lock
3.5 mm Combo Audio

The glass touchpad is very responsive, working well with features like Windows 10 gestures such as  two-finger scrolling and three-finger tabbing.
DISPLAY

Moving onto the display, our review model had a 15.6″ Full HD 360Hz, 100% sRGB factory calibrated screen with 4.9mm bezel. The quality is as such that the images and colours on screen look about as natural as they can be, without extremes in saturation or contrast. However, the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) does not have good viewing angles, with colours appearing different if you change, well, your viewing angle. The machine is focused on gaming which wouldn’t be seeing you using the laptop at awkward angles, but should anyone want to watch over your shoulder or any instances of local co-op, it won’t be as great in these instances.
As a gaming notebook, that 360Hz refresh rate is a definite draw for gamers, with the action essentially guaranteed to be buttery smooth and fluid to give you every advantage you can get in avoiding delayed responses. As mentioned, the 100% sRGB colour gamut coverage means the machine can double up for creative work as you can be assured the on-screen colours will be accurate.

PERFORMANCE
Ah yes, the most important section of them all, yes? The Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) packs some high-end hardware under the hood:

10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-10875H 8 Cores (2.3GHz / 5.1GHz)
Discrete: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
1TB SSD (M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4) + Open M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 Slot for easy expansion
32GB dual-channel DDR4-2933MHz (16GB x 2)

You can also peruse the benchmarks as follows:
PC MARK 10

3D MARK

CINEBENCH

The Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021)’s biggest selling point is being the first Razer laptop to use Nvidia’s RTX 30-series, the latest in a flagship line of GPUs to offer faster ray tracing and general performance than the RTX 20-series. Simply put, you’re gonna be able to run essentially every game out in the market right now at really high settings if not max. Leave some room for error as games continue to get optimized over time through drivers and updates, of course.
For Valorant, at maxed settings and FHD resolution, the game runs at over 500 FPS (!).

Cyberpunk 2077 can dip below 60 FPS with DLSS on, with all max settings and Ray Tracing on.

Horizon Zero Dawn likewise can also dip under 60 at similar settings with Cyberpunk 2077, occasionally also capable of 70 FPS depending on the scene.

HEAT
The vapor chamber cooling is meant to, well, keep the machine cool. To wit, here’s its description:
“To keep the Advanced Model running at maximum performance, its cutting-edge thermal materials and vapor chamber quietly and efficiently dissipate heat through the evaporation and condensation of an internal fluid—a design which has also helped the Advanced Model achieve its thin profile. The Base Model features a bespoke heat pipe system designed to handle intense temperature build-ups that arise from heavy loads.”
Unfortunately, it still has some heating issues, with the top of the keyboard and the space where you rest your palms get uncomfortably hot within 15 minutes. This makes the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) unsuitable for long gaming sessions. A separate keyboard would be best in this case.
BATTERY
Like with most gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) doesn’t have a good battery life. Without being on sleep mode, simply idling will drain the battery in 4 to 5 hours. A full battery won’t even last an hour on gaming. There’s quick charging via a USB-C 20V laptop charger, which is also compatible with the Thunderbolt port.
AUDIO
Speakers are of decent quality, but nothing outstanding. They work well enough for music, but the in-game sounds still seem lacking, sounding flat and not immersive. The laptop does come with the THX Spatial Audio app, which comes with presets – Music, Cinema, Game, Voice – and Custom for your needs. The equalizers for everything besides Custom are already tuned, and does give noticeable effects when you change the presets for the audio. As to actually making the games sound better, it doesn’t really work unfortunately.
CLOSING WORDS
As a whole, the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2021) is a solid option to provide good performance for the game titles you will end up playing on it. The FHD 360Hz panel is great for your gaming experience, even if not for anyone else watching with you. The smooth glass touchpad is also nice to use. It’s brought down by the fact the keyboard is not for everyone. That problem might be less of one considering you might prefer attaching your own keyboard due to the heating issues, which isn’t the biggest positive there is.
It’s a serviceable machine, should you wish to get one of your own.

Mobile RPG Returners soft-launched in select countries

Iconic figures such as Hercules, Robin Hood and Aladdin are the central focus of this new mobile RPG from Nexon Korea known as Returners.

Returners incorporate traditional RPG elements with original management-style gameplay to create a rather interesting gameplay experience, where you will engage in 5v5 MOBA combat. Unlike other similar games with original heroes, it is rather interesting to see classics reimagined. Battle and compete in PvE and PvP matches, putting your strategic prowess to the test. The game still conforms to mechanics of other similar titles, in that you will have various heroes with their own unique abilities and skills, so forming the best team for the situation will be imperative.

For one, the game will feature cross-progression, although they didn’t elaborate if this meant you could pick up the game between PC and Console versions, or just that you could move freely between Xbox One and Series X versions of the game.
It also said the game would support up to 8-player co-op, twice the number of the previous entry, Diablo III. It’s unknown if the 8 players would be allowed to play locally, or if it would only support it via online co-op.

Diablo II Resurrected features a surprising amount of features for a remake, from the ability to switch graphics on the fly to straight-up having compatibility with the saves of your original copy of Diablo II.
While the game has had closed betas previously, this is the first we’d heard on a release date for the game. It joins Burning Crusade Classic as being a Blizzard game getting a release date within 3 months of its announcement.
