The launch of the Steam Deck (opens in new tab) seems to have tipped off a great many more handheld PC (opens in new tab) projects. The latest is the Loki from AYN (opens in new tab) , a range of five handhelds that starts cheap and can be specced up quite nicely. Thanks to Techpowerup (opens in new tab) and Liliputing (opens in new tab) for the lead on this one. AYN has already released the Android-powered Odin (opens in new tab) , but Loki runs Windows. The machines come with a range of CPU options, most of them from AMD. The entry-level member of the pantheon, however, comes with an unnamed Intel Alder Lake U chip. The Loki Mini, with Iris Xe graphics and 64GB of storage (no information regarding RAM seems to be available for any of the Loki machines, though Odin came with a choice of 4GB or 8GB), will be sold for just $299. Storage appears to be replaceable across the range, so hopefully, new SSDs can be dropped in easily. Step up the range a bit, … [Read more...] about No Tricks: AYN Reveals Loki Range of Handheld Gaming PCs

7 Fortnite building tips and tricks that will help you survive | Digital Trends
If you want to survive until the very end in Fortnite , you’ll have to be aware of your surroundings, know your weapons inside and out, and make liberal use of the game’s building mechanics (if you’re playing a mode that supports building). In 2022, Epic Games created new “Zero Build” playlists for Solos, Duos, Trios, and Squads, allowing players to focus more on their aim rather than on building a fortress around themselves for protection. Still, building is a key part of Fortnite for many players. The ability to quickly cobble together walls, floors, rooftops, stairs, and traps differentiates Fortnite from competitors such as Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone . Taking advantage of these features sets the great Fortnite players apart from those who go down before the first circle even begins to shrink.

Everything we know about Greedfall 2: The Dying World | Digital Trends

The next Mass Effect game failed to deliver the experience fans of the series were hoping for, and the less said about Anthem the better. This gap in the market allowed an up-and-coming developer, Spiders, to try to fill that gap with its own new IP. Greedfall was a direct attempt to give fans of those old RPGs the experience BioWare had moved away from. It was technically rough in many ways, but Greedfall found an audience and plenty fans for being a solid RPG with a unique setting and story. Contents Release date Platforms Trailer Gameplay Multiplayer DLC Pre-order Show 2 more items That breakout game was successful enough for the team to announce a sequel — or prequel, rather — called Greedfall 2: The Dying World. Aiming to be bigger, more ambitious, and hopefully more technically sound than the first, this … [Read more...] about Everything we know about Greedfall 2: The Dying World | Digital Trends

The Xbox One era was a great time for indie games: Microsoft proved increasingly willing to support smaller developers, and Game Pass alone made it far easier for players to access a whole library of fascinating indie titles they hadn’t known about before. Plus, the popular indie games on Xbox have plenty of other advantages, too — they’re usually shorter than larger titles, they can be incredibly ambitious in design or premise, and if you’re buying them, they’re significantly more affordable purchases.
