Absolum Review – Bold, Brilliant, and BoundlessWhen I think of beat ’em-ups, I immediately ponder brief, casual experiences that highly benefit from co-op and are best played in short bursts. I don’t particularly loathe the genre or the like, but it’s far from my preferred avenue for gameplay-focused experiences. So, I wasn’t captivated by the incoming launch of the now-acclaimed Absolum, [...]

Feature: ROG Xbox Ally X Battery Life: How Many Hours Do You Get Per-Charge?Here's what we've experienced so far. With our big ROG Xbox Ally X review going live here at Pure Xbox earlier today, we thought we'd delve a little deeper into the battery life side of things - they only get a passing mention as part of the main review. During my time with the ROG Xbox Ally X, I've obviously been playing lots of games across various power and graphics settings, and I've generally tried to find a happy medium where they look great, perform great and hopefully don't have to run at max capacity, meaning I can squeeze more life out of the battery where possible.

Review: ROG Xbox Ally X - An Amazing Handheld PC With Plenty Of Console-Like PotentialThe future looks bright for Xbox's new handheld device. Well folks, the time has arrived. With the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X officially releasing on October 16th, ASUS was kind enough to give us rough two weeks of early access to the "X" version of the device (the most premium model) here at Pure Xbox , and I've been playing it every single day in the lead-up to launch. In this review, I'm going to delve into the hardware, the battery, the performance, the ergonomics, the software experience, what it's like playing everything from indie games to AAA games, and a whole lot more. I've been trying all sorts of different things with this device over the past two weeks, and it's continually impressed me with what it can do. Read the full article on purexbox.com

Bye Sweet Carole Review – Disney Haunts Meets Clock Tower CampAlright, October is here, which means I’m ready for all the horror games. However, I will admit, I wasn’t really aware of Bye Sweet Carole until a few readers told me about it. One look at the game and it’s clearly an interesting project that blends hand-drawn animations in the guise of a classic cartoon [...]

Ninja Gaiden 4 Devs Insist Game Needs To Be Challenging But Maintain A 'Sense Of Fairness'"That’s something we talk about a lot at Team Ninja". Ninja Gaiden 4 will be with us this time next week (look out for our review in the near future), and ahead of this big Xbox first-party release, a couple of developers have been speaking to Automaton about how challenging of a game it'll be. Directors Yuji Nakao (PlatinumGames) and Masakazu Hirayama (Team Ninja) discussed with the outlet about how maintaining a "sense of fairness" has been crucial when it comes to balancing the difficulty, insisting that it's going to be a tough game with challenges that you'll need to overcome, but they'll still (hopefully) be fair challenges.

Review: Battlefield 6 (Xbox) - A Fantastic FPS, And A Great Base For The Future Of BattlefieldBack to winning ways. EA and the newly-rebranded Battlefield Studios had a lot to prove to me with Battlefield 6 . The previous game in the series, Battlefield 2042 , left a lot to be desired - and truth be told, I was losing a bit of faith in the series ever getting back to its glory days. With BF6 now here, backed up by a pretty smooth opening weekend in my experience, the team is starting to win me over - even if this isn't the perfect Battlefield game just yet. Jumping straight into the action, mind you, and the game does a very good job at selling you on the experience right out of the gate. Visuals and performance are fantastic on both Xbox Series consoles, gunplay is vastly improved over its predecessor, and there's everything here on day one that you want to see from a Battlefield game. We've got a full single-player campaign, a vast online suite of maps, modes and weapons and the game's Portal toolset right at launch. This is a far cry from 2042, which (yes, you're reading this right) didn't even have an in-game scoreboard during multiplayer matches at launch. Yeah, moving on.
