PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:58 AM  Some people simply love the sound of their own voice – they're the ones you can't avoid overhearing holding over-opinionated court in coffee shops across the country. But the reality is, when most folks have their own dulcet tones played back to them, they can't stand what they hear. There are reasons for this, but one thing experts in the aural realm agree on is that poor-quality recordings don't help. If you're into live streaming and content creation, it makes sense to invest in one of the best streaming microphones to deliver enhanced audio free from all the fuss and background noise. Audio Technica presents just such a mic, in the pleasingly compact form of its all-new AT2040USB Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone. Building on all the best elements of the company's much-loved AT2040 XLR microphone, the addition of USB connectivity makes this mic more flexible and easier to use than ever for streamers, podcasters and chatty gamers alike. If you're after a mic with high-quality audio, and you just want to plug it in and go, it could be the right choice for you.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:53 AM  When it comes to microphones for streaming or podcasting, Joby may not be as well-known as Blue Yeti, but the Joby Wavo Pod is an ideal mic for amateur streamers looking to upgrade their setup. If you're an audiophile looking for the highest audio quality, you're better off looking at more advanced options from our best gaming microphone guide, such as the Elgato Wave:3. Marketed as a plug-and-play solution to improving your audio, the Joby Wavo Pod delivers out-of-the-box simplicity at a more affordable price than many of its rivals. Costing $99.95 (£89.95) the Wavo Pod may not provide the audio quality of an XLR cable device, it also doesn't come at a premium. If you're familiar with USB microphones then there are no surprises here. A robust device is paired with functionality and enough adjustability to provide clean and clear audio for your streams.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:45 AM  In the online world of streaming gaming content, we face a lot of competition to be seen and heard. One way to stand out from the streaming crowd is to present yourself more clearly with a higher-quality video feed. Most PCs have a built-in web camera that tends to have a small lens, leading to fuzzy-looking images with flat tones and washed-out colors. In low light, your video feed can also be plagued with artifacts such as image noise and compression. I used a 2017-era iMac to test the Elgato Facecam for this review – it's compatible with Windows 10 and macOS 11.0 onwards. The iMac's built-in FaceTime HD webcam is something I've taken for granted for years, but compared to the results produced by the Elgato Facecam the iMac's FaceTime footage looks soft and dull. The iMac's webcam only streams at the smaller HD setting of 1280 x 720 whereas the resolution of the Facecam is a full HD size of 1920 x 1080. The Facecam is superior in other ways too, but is it one of the best webcams? Continue reading Elgato Facecam review MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best graphics card, Best gaming PC, Best SSD for gaming |
PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:41 AM  Dragon's Dogma 2 has landed, with all the highs and lows you might expect from Hideaki Itsuno's latest action-RPG. However, for all that the game has plenty of positives as an overall experience, Dragon's Dogma 2 PC performance has been a fairly terrible. The problem with Dragon's Dogma 2 is two fold. For a start, the game has generally been dogged by stability issues, with regular crashes dumping you out the game. Perhaps even more annoyingly, it has consistently terrible frame rate stability issues - something that particularly plague our experience when writing our Dragon's Dogma 2 review, with large amounts of stutter and frame rate dropping to very low levels, even on very high-end hardware.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:25 AM  I've had a handful of desks in my time, but none of them quite compare to the Secretlab Magnus Pro sit-stand gaming desk. Representing the next generation of Secretlab's Magnus line of gaming desks, the Magnus Pro turns everything up to 11, from the build quality to all the additional features that you didn't know you needed until you've used them. As our Secretlab Magnus Pro review will explain, I don't think I could ever go back to any other desk. Over the past few years, Secretlab has been leading the way in the gaming setup space, with several innovative chairs, desks, and numerous great accessories, but the Magnus Pro is its magnum opus. After months of hands-on testing, we've put it among the best gaming desks around. The best gaming PC setups have never looked this good or worked so seamlessly, though it's worth digging into whether it's the right desk for you. The Secretlab Magnus Pro is no doubt aimed at gamers with its sleek design and a separate RGB lighting pack, and the ample cable management solutions being one of its main selling points. In my experience, the Magnus Pro achieves its goal of being the best gaming desk, but it's much more than that. Its seamless sit-stand functionality and oodles of purchasable accessories make it perfect for just about anything you'd want a desk for, including gaming, working, and content creation.

Not every game lets you play offline, though. Some games require a license check before launching for anti-piracy reasons - and although this doesn't take long to perform, it means you can't access the game without an internet connection.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:17 AM  You may already be streaming HD-quality video using a webcam for streaming, but your stream's sound could be letting you down when it comes to quality, especially if you're using your PC's built-in mic. That mic will be broadcasting your voice, but it might also include unwanted background sound echoing from the walls of your room, making your YouTube video or Twitch stream sound amateur rather than pro. By using a plug-and-play USB condenser capsule mic such as the Elgato Wave:3 you can 'up your game' when it comes to sound quality and get your voice heard more clearly amongst the cacophony of other streamers' voices. The Elgato Wave:3 has been around since June 2020, and it's still one of the best gaming microphones around. It enables you to get the mic closer to your mouth than you can with the PC's built-in mic, immediately improving audio quality. It also comes with a supporting app that enables you to reduce unwanted noises (such as hum caused by a PC's fan or spinning drives) while broadcasting professionally clear and full-bodied sound. Having used the Elgato:Wave 3 microphone for several weeks – we received a sample for this review – I'm going to share what it does and doesn't do well when it comes to streaming, and compare it to similar mics on the market to see what you get for your money.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:05 AM  The Blue Yeti has long been the microphone of choice in the world of streaming. While it's now part of the Logitech family, Blue has been a leader in the high-fidelity microphone sphere for almost 20 years – and is trusted by everyone from game streamers and podcasters to sound engineers and professional musicians. Being brought under the Logitech umbrella immediately put the Yeti on the radar of gamers – an audience who may not otherwise have been familiar with Blue's heritage, and with why this mic has been held in such high regard for so long. Well, except for a couple of years recently when it fell out of favor. However, while it's not the no-brainer choice that it once was, much of the naysaying is pretty misplaced – and the Blue Yeti remains one of the best gaming microphones for gamers who want to enhance their in-game communication, Twitchers, YouTubers, and anyone else who wants to instantly improve their audio to a professional level.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:00 AM  What are the best Dragon's Dogma 2 settings for max fps? The run-up to the release of Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC was rough, with rumors of frame rate caps and overinflated system requirements. While this largely turned out to be untrue, the final performance of the ARPG on PC isn't ideal, and mid-range gaming systems will struggle to obtain 60fps without further optimizations. The Dragon's Dogma 2 system requirements paint the picture of a game that leans more towards the Alan Wake 2 approach to PC gaming, with less optimization for older components, instead focusing on gamers with high-end gaming PCs. While game updates are very likely, and these should improve the performance of Dragon's Dogma 2 on budget gaming PCs, right now, getting a stable 60fps out of the game is a chore, and it impacts gameplay considerably.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 6:58 AM  A great number of brands have focused their efforts on making streaming microphones in the last five years. Thanks in part to the boom of podcasting, content creation, and online gaming, and the simple fact that we spend much more time on virtual meetings post-pandemic, there are more options to choose from than ever. Whether you're a serious audiophile or a serious technophobe, the quality of Sennheiser products has always been dependable, but until recently the company had focused on XLR microphones requiring an audio interface or mixer, or one of the best Stream Decks. The Sennheiser Profile USB microphone is an accessible and affordable option for users who want to plug straight into a PC and go. I'll cover the ins and outs of this gaming microphone after almost a month of testing. It's been my daily mic while plugged into my iMac, mini gaming PC, and even my iPhone. This simple mic is designed to improve the quality of your voice on Zoom calls, recording audio for voiceovers, and podcasting and streaming. While it isn't designed specifically for gamers (for that look to Logitech, HyperX, and Elgato), and you don't get elements like RGB lighting, the Profile USB is still well-suited to streaming while gaming. At just over $100 (109) for the desktop version, it's similarly priced to the beloved Blue Yeti USB microphone and slightly less expensive than the Elgato Wave:3. You don't get any added mixing software – you just plug it in and start talking – and for most, that approach will be ideal.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 6:53 AM  I'm no stranger to standing desks. Before the pandemic, when I worked full-time in an office, I used a desk riser to go from seated to standing, but it was never very stable and always amused my coworkers. At home, I often work with my laptop balanced on the kitchen countertops, just to be able to stand up while I tap away. The health worries around sitting down for long periods have been well-researched. Objectively, I just feel more productive when I'm standing, either when streaming, playing games, or editing photos. The best standing desks are now more popular than ever, as people invest in their own office setup, and Flexispot has become the number one player in the industry. I was delighted to review the FlexiSpot E8 standing desk frame with a maple desktop, which has been named by some as the best standing for working from home. I was also interested to see how it stacks up against a gaming desk with sit-stand functionality, such as the Corsair Platform:6. I've used the FlexiSpot E8 as my daily desk for several months, which means I've been able to fully evaluate how well it works beyond the initial setup period, and how it's coped with different loads, from monster 55-inch curved gaming monitors to an iMac.

PCGamesN Thursday, March 21, 2024 7:40 AM  When does Diablo 4 Season 4 start? A much-loved feature from Diablo 3 makes its return in D4 with the (re)introduction of seasons, adding everything from new questlines to items, gameplay mechanics, and more. Expanding on the rich, gothic world of Sanctuary, Blizzard makes sure players have plenty to sink their teeth into, whether you're a fresh-faced player taking their first steps into Sanctuary or a grizzled veteran of the Burning Hells. It may be some time before we'll see Diablo 4 Season 4, but the good news is that it comes after the arrival of D4 on Game Pass. Just like every other seasonal event, it adds a whole bunch of new content to explore in Blizzard's action RPG game, no matter whether you're a level 100 player who's been around since the Diablo 4 release date or someone who is considering jumping into the game now it's coming to Game Pass.

Akira Kurosawa, maestro of samurai cinema and trailblazing figure in the world of filmmaking, flaunted his influences proudly. Drawing inspiration from John Ford's rugged cowboy epics and profound written works like those of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Kurosawa crafted his own voice that continues to captivate audiences today. His masterful blend of diverse influences helped to elevate his films to iconic status. Team Ninja, like Kurosawa, isn't content with mere imitation with Rise of the Ronin. Instead you can tell the team weaving in other influences, drawing from the rich history of samurai lore and modern gaming sensibilities.
Rise of the Ronin combines the lightning-fast action from titles like Team Ninja's own Ninja Gaiden with the punishing, yet addictive, trial-and-error gameplay reminiscent of its acclaimed Nioh series. The action is set against a rich historical backdrop teeming with real-life figures and events à la Assassin's Creed. It adds depth with character bonding, relationships, and personal choices akin to those found in RPGs like Dragon Age. Throw all that into an open world and you've got a lot of moving pieces. Yet, like a Kurosawa film, Rise of the Ronin is more than the sum of its parts.
Set in the latter half of the 19th century, Rise of the Ronin highlights a pivotal era for Japan. Freshly exposed to Western influence after centuries of isolationism, it's a time rife with conflict. The clash of tradition and modernization is at the heart of much of the game's narrative. Like Assassin's Creed, many of the characters you meet and events you see in the game are real or at least based on real events. For example, the very first mission in the game has you infiltrating one of Commodore Matthew Perry's "Black Ships."
The era chosen and historical nature of the storyline owe a lot to the overall enjoyment of the game. While you don't require a minor in Japanese history to grasp the narrative, I feel history buffs will be pleased. However, the game is a little loose with real-life dates. Luckily, Rise of the Ronin offers a built-in encyclopedia with information on all the historical events and figures involved. I found this quite useful, due t the nature of the games storytelling.
It should be clear this is not a sweeping cinematic epic telling a singular story like Ghosts of Tsushima, nor is it pretending to be. Throughout the storyline, your decisions influence the flow of the narrative and your relationships. These choices predominantly revolve around supporting or opposing the established military rule of the shogunate. Most bonds align with one of these factions, though the presence of Western military officials adds an interesting dynamic.
Bonds not only allow you get closer to historical figures of the era, it also translates into gameplay. These bonds influence mission allies, unlock bonus events, and even boost combat skills. Take Ryoma Sakamoto, for example. Bonding with him upgrades one of your katana combat styles. Despite their benefits, these bonds sometimes clash with the narrative flow. The bonding events tend to take place outside of the narrative at places like your longhouse or a base of operations. It's totally possible to form a strong bond with a character you're actively fighting against in the next story mission. This dissonance is only sometimes addressed.
While I found the narrative enjoyable overall, its unconventional storytelling occasionally muddled certain plot points. With responses chosen by you and limited spoken dialogue from your character, I found it easy to feel lost during pivotal moments. The narrative can feel disjointed, depending on your choices or the flow of conversations. I found myself frequently consulting the in-game timeline to clarify events in scenes I just watched, a minor inconvenience against the otherwise interesting setting and story.
When you're not exploring or sharing sake with iconic Japanese figures, the heart of the game lies in its combat. And let's be honest, that's the main attraction. Rise of the Ronin nails its combat system, striking the ideal balance between being easy to grasp and tough to master. You can mash through foes on the lowest difficulty settings with only a little practice. However, if you bump that difficulty up, prepare for the precision demanded by Souls-like games.
Despite combat being the main focus, Rise of the Ronin keeps the action fresh over dozens of hours of gameplay. This is because there's a surprising amount of variety in the weapon system. There are plenty of weapons to choose from, each playing a little differently. Plus, there are multiple combat styles to unlock through bonding or taking down certain enemies. These styles aren't just for show, they come with strategic advantages and disadvantages. If an enemy is using a style your style is weak against, you can quickly switch up mid combat.
While not as overall intricate as hardcore Souls-like games such as Nioh, Rise of the Ronin also avoids a steep learning curve that makes it far more accessible. Leveling up weapon proficiency, unlocking combat styles, and hunting for top-notch gear add layers beyond mere technique. It blends the technicality of Nioh, the speed of Ninja Gaiden, and the progression and flexibility of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. It's a combat system that has something for everyone and fits the overall feeling of the game incredibly well.
Story missions in Rise of the Ronin offer cooperative play for up to three players, with room for two companions to join your missions. If your friends aren't available, don't worry—you can team up with AI-controlled characters you've forged bonds with if you're playing offline. It's a very open-ended "it's here if you want it" style of multiplayer. It never felt necessary, and flying solo was always a viable option.
Outside the main story, the open-world exploration in Rise of the Ronin feels a bit sparse. It mainly involves tackling additional combat challenges through side quests, tracking down fugitives, and resolving public disturbances. However, you can also snap photos of notable locations as collectibles. But the real star of collectibles? Cats. Yes, actual cats. You can rescue lost cats across Japan and set up a "cat concierge" service, lending them out for rewards.
You'll journey through Yokohoma, Edo, and Kyoto as the story unfolds, but you're able to revisit past areas for quests or to roam freely. This flexibility is just one of Rise of the Ronin's many quality of life features. Plentiful and early access to fast travel is another game-changer. Bases, longhouses, and even the banners you raise as checkpoints all offer quick teleportation options. With banners scattered everywhere, you'll spend so much less time needlessly trudging on your way to checkpoints.
But when you do have to travel, Rise of the Ronin simplifies this too. You can obviously ride on horseback very early in the journey. However, the best addition to your travel toolkit is the glider. This really comes in handy, as you can use it to very quickly navigate the rolling hills of Japan. A further convenience the game offers is the auto-run feature. This modern mechanic lets you set a destination on the map, then sit back while your character does the legwork. I felt it freed me up to handle real-life tasks or just enjoy the scenery without worrying about the journey.
One of my favorite quality-of-life features in Rise of the Ronin was the incredible flexibility offered when customizing my appearance. You're not just limited to changing your physical features, which includes tons of variation in hairstyles. You can swap out the look of your clothing and weapons with any previously collected ones. Fans of r/fashionsouls will rejoice. I constantly changed up my look throughout the game, sometimes just to match story elements or who I was bonding with.
On a technical level, Rise of the Ronin felt very polished. I never ran into any significant slowdowns or issues during combat. Occasionally a brief stutter or hiccup would happen in crowded towns, but nothing I found overly distracting or debilitating. While it may not rival the graphical prowess of some other PS5 exclusives the game still delivers moments of sheer beauty, particularly in the landscapes.
The attention to detail is on display, with intricate weapon designs and tons of variation in combat animations. Little touches like the absence of clipping issues despite some elaborate clothing options demonstrates the care taken in crafting the game's aesthetics, despite not reaching the heights of some AAA contemporaries visually.
When you look at the complete package, Rise of the Ronin is such a fun and rewarding experience. It might not have the most cinematic narratives or jaw dropping visuals around, but it delivers on everything it attempts. The melting pot of gaming influences makes for a product that is more than the sum of its parts. Much like a lone samurai wandering without a master, Rise of the Ronin cuts its own path while paying homage to the spirit of those who came before it.
Rise of the Ronin will come to the PS5 on March 22, 2024.
