1 week ago | ign.com | Michael Higham |Chris Coke

2-in-1 laptops that are aimed at gamers are already a rarity, let alone Windows-based gaming tablets, but that's exactly what the new Asus ROG Flow Z13 delivers and it's more than a little impressive. Featuring AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395, it offers gaming performance that rivals dedicated laptop graphics cards while also offering much better battery life and portability.
The Outer Worlds 2: Primeras Impresiones - IGN First

2 weeks ago | latam.ign.com | Michael Higham

Recuerdo vívidamente cuando oí hablar por primera vez de The Outer Worlds allá por 2018: mi editor jefe en ese momento me habló sobre su avance de lo que el desarrollador Obsidian estaba preparando; un RPG original en primera persona con tintes de un juego de Fallout. Como alguien que aún no deja de hablar de Fallout: New Vegas hasta el día de hoy, eso fue música para mis oídos.

The Outer Worlds 2: The First Preview – IGN First - IGN

2 weeks ago | ign.com | Michael Higham

I remember vividly when I first caught wind of The Outer Worlds back in 2018 – my managing editor at the time talked about his preview of what developer Obsidian was working on; an original first-person RPG with the makings of a Fallout game. As someone who still won’t shut up about Fallout: New Vegas to this day, that was music to my ears.
The Outer Worlds 2: alla scoperta dell'editor dei personaggi - IGN First

2 weeks ago | it.ign.com | Michael Higham

Dopo aver finalmente visto di persona The Outer Worlds 2, mi appare chiaro come la scelta di puntare su elementi GDR più profondi era prioritaria per Obsidian. Mentre il primo gioco era più accessibile, con sistemi di progressione e di costruzione del personaggio snelli, il sequel vuole evitare l'omogeneità e persino incoraggiare a giocare in modo non ortodosso.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review

3 weeks ago | ign.com | Michael Higham

It’s one thing to wear your influences on your sleeve, and it’s another to wield those influences to create something that can confidently stand on its own merits. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is explicitly built on many of the ideas of great modern and classic Japanese RPGs, and French developer Sandfall isn’t shy about it – nor should it be.
Pulsar’s PCMK 2 HE TKL Does Magnetic Gaming Keyboards Right - IGN

4 weeks ago | ign.com | Michael Higham

Pulsar made a great impression with the Xboard QS, which featured expansive physical customization and a build quality strong enough to be classified as a weapon. Along with some of my favorite mechanical switches, Pulsar proved to be a real player in the boutique (and expensive) keyboard space. The PCMK 2 HE, however, takes on a different design philosophy with a lighter, slimmer build and makes the move to magnetic switches to stand among some of the best gaming keyboards recently released.

+ "Uno de nuestros primeros objetivos al empezar The Outer Worlds 2 era crear estas zonas grandes y extensas. Es lo que los jugadores nos dijeron que querían", me comentó el director del juego, Brandon Adler, al hablar sobre cómo el equipo de Obsidian creó las regiones abiertas para esta secuela. Pero más grande no siempre significa mejor, y parecían ser conscientes de ello al crear las zonas más extensas en los diferentes planetas y lunas que visitarás en The Outer Worlds 2.
The Outer Worlds 2's Worlds Are Going Bigger – IGN First - IGN

4 weeks ago | ign.com | Michael Higham

“One of the very first things we were targeting when we started The Outer Worlds 2 was to make these big, expansive areas. It's what players told us they wanted,” game director Brandon Adler told me when talking about how the team at Obsidian built the open regions for this sequel. But bigger doesn’t always mean better, and they seemed aware of that when building the more expansive zones across the different planets and moons you’ll visit in The Outer Worlds 2.
