Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), PS5, Xbox Series Genre: Open-World RPG Before Skyrim’s dragons or Starfield’s space sims, there was Oblivion—a beautiful mess of radiant AIs, potato-faced NPCs, and accidental godhood via alchemy. Now, it’s back. And it’s not just a slap of makeup—it’s had a full makeover, fake teeth and all. ...

Platform(s): PS5 (version reviewed), Xbox Series X | S, PC Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy, Co-op, Puzzle, Platform, Action, Adventure There was once a time when playing games with a friend meant sharing a couch, a screen, and occasionally a fistfight over who got the controller with the dodgy button. It was a simpler time. A better time. The golden age ...

Growing up, we all wanted to use the same gear as our idols—be it football boots, tennis rackets, or cricket bats. In esports, it's no different. Plenty still believe it's the hardware that makes the player. And while deep down, we all know "it's not the [X], it's how you use it," let’s be real—some peripherals do offer a tangible advantage. ...

Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), Xbox Series Genre: Computer Role-Playing Game, First-Person, Obsidian-Written An Old-Fashioned is a cocktail made in the 1880s. A mix of whiskey and bitters, a dash of water, and an orange zest, the drink comes in an old-fashioned glass and is one of the basics you can get from any self-respecting bar or spea...

Platform(s): PC (version reviewed) Genre: Vintage 3D Fighter Ah, Virtua Fighter—a name that once sent arcade-goers into a frenzy, mashing buttons with the fervour of a caffeinated squirrel. Now, SEGA has dusted off this relic, slapped on a fresh coat of paint, and served it up to PC players as Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., just in time for the s...

Platform(s): PS5 (version reviewed), Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: Dark Metroidvania Here at Kakuchopurei, we occasionally miss out on covering certain games, and Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights was, regrettably, one of them. A real shame, considering how much praise it received. So, when the sequel Ender Magnolia: Bloom in t...

As an esports journalist, I’ve spent countless hours dissecting the careers of players and streamers, but today, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to review something a little different – Soloz: Game of Life. Now, do not be fooled; this isn’t a biopic of Faris "Soloz" Zakaria, Malaysia’s top streaming sensation. It is a fictionalised...

Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), Xbox Series Genre: Post-apocalyptic survival horror RPG shooter Survival horror is a genre that I tend to steer clear of. Mainly because I’m a scaredy-cat and I despise jumpscares. Yet, when a juggernaut like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl looms on the horizon, there’s no escaping the call. So, ...

I have never been a huge fan of tablets. Despite the hoo-ha generated at its introduction and its subsequent iterations, tablets have always been akin to the spork when it comes to smart devices: jack of all trades, master of none. Function-wise, they sit in the awkward middle ground between the portability of smartphones and the combination of ...

Alright, gamers—how many times have you heard someone say, 'You need to go out and touch grass'? Maybe even head out of town and experience, you know, real life. But they never specify what you should actually do out there. So, why not level up your outdoor experience by checking into an esports hotel? Samsung Odyssey’s esports hotel room at th...

For the better part of a decade, I've felt as though Call of Duty's multiplayer experience had lost its charm. Sure, sales were great but I missed the good old days when grinding public matches for hours on end was fun. I saw glimpses of that with Vanguard and more recently Modern Warfare III, but they always fell a bit short for reasons I still st...
