Neverness to Everness unveils new launch collaborations with Porsche and Persona 5For whatever reason, the GTA-like seems to be a new trend in mobile gaming. Be that the roleplay-focused OneState or anime-style Ananta. But Neverness to Everness is the next to hit launch, and one we've been keeping a close eye on as it promises to come out of the gate swinging. Certainly, the two major collaborations they've showcased ahead of launch only affirm that. For one, on the streets of Hethereau, you'll be able to hop behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder, all while enjoying the hit soundtrack of Persona 5 Royal and The Phantom X, both on your in-game car radio and walkman. ...

Return to Pixhell mixes Dark Souls with Vampire Survivors for a grimdark challenge

Return to Pixhell mixes Dark Souls with Vampire Survivors for a grimdark challengeThe tagline for Vampire Survivors is 'become the bullet hell', and that's undoubtedly part of the appeal of the genre. The power fantasy of sending hordes of evil creatures hurtling back to hell is part of why it proved so popular. But for some, the grimmer, grittier difficulty is what attracts them to the world of gaming, and that's what Return to Pixhell offers. Coming to iOS with an expected late May release date, Return to Pixhell bills itself as a Souls-like, but there are undoubtedly elements of Vampire Survivors present here. You'll play as one of three distinct classes (Mage, Reaper, Aura) of adventurers exploring the wilderness on a journey into the very depths of Pixhell. ... [ MORE ]

8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller review - "No drift but also no iPhone"

8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller review - "No drift but also no iPhone"I've played around with a few different controllers in my time, with the latest one being the 8BitDo Ultimate Gaming Controller, which is designed in the same layout as an Xbox controller. For me, this was very familiar. I found the controller itself to be comfortable to hold as well. The 8BitDo Ultimate Gaming Controller is an Android-specific controller that connects via Bluetooth, which is quite simple to get working. Though the controller itself does need to be charged (instead of connecting to your phone directly to work). Charging didn't take too long using the included USB-C to USB cable. The battery does seem to last for a while, at around 12 hours, which is pretty good. ... [ MORE ]
