Forspoken, Square Enix’s upcoming action RPG with magic-infused parkour. A demo did indeed come out in December, but only on PS5 – and to very mixed reviews. It’s a shame, because the world on show in its latest cinematic trailer looks appetisingly stylish.
The game comes out on January 24th, so we’ll know for sure soon enough.
If you’re the type who’s always up to buckle some swash, there’s a fair chance you’ll like the cut of One Piece Odyssey’s jib. It’ll soon be ready to board for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, and PC when it releases on January 13th. Played in a turn-based JRPG fashion, this all new adventure has you slipping into the straw sandals of Monkey D. Luffy and The Straw Hat Pirates as they (ship)wreck the hostile inhabitants of Waford island.
Speaking personally, I quite enjoyed the extensive hands-on preview I had in the opening hours of Odyssey. What impressed me most was an authentic plot penned by Eiichiro Oda, textbook One Piece oddness and a battle system that’s approachable, cleverly layered and viscerally animated. Excuse the pirate pun here, but I may be hooked already.
If that sounds like the kind of experience you’d pi(rate) as well, One Piece Odyssey is available to preorder now from a variety of different retailers. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of who’s doing what where, and for how much…
PS5
PS4
Xbox Series X
Note: The digital-only deluxe edition of One Piece Odyssey includes the game, plus the following DLC extras:
Adam Mathew is a deals expert and he loves him some One Piece.
Sons Of The Forest may have been delayed, but they’re still very much coming to get you. We’re creeping ever closer to the hit survival sequel’s February 23rd release date, but IGN have lead the foray with a hands-on preview that reveals a little more about what to expect. Expect mutants with improved AI and individual tastes, better building, and companions you can boss around.
Where’s that Pokémon?

NYXI, a gaming peripheral controller maker, recently announced a new third-party controller for the Nintendo Switch. The design is not only reminsicent of the WaveBird — aka the best Nintendo controller ever — but the company claims that this controller will never get Joy-Con drift.
Ready？The NYXI WIZARD combines the retro appearance of our long-run NGC controller with a much more ergonomic design and works perfectly with any Nintendo Switch console.
It is coming soon!?#Nyxi #nyxigaming #nyxiwizard #controller #gamers #joypad #wirelesscontroller #switch pic.twitter.com/KVtAk2K7jc— Nyxi_official (@NyxiGaming) January 6, 2023
The NYXI Wizard Wireless Joy-Pad is a wireless controller that features an array of customization, including two remappable back buttons, in addition to interchangeable joystick rings. You could, for example, use a round joystick to play racing games or put an octagonal joystick circle on the controller when you are about to play a fighting game. NYXI claims the battery life is roughly 6.5 hours on a single full charge.
One of the biggest selling points for the Wizard controller is the claim that it will not suffer from Joy-Con drift. NYXI claims it can achieve this because the Wizard uses a Hall Effect joystick. For quick context, Hall Effect joysticks use a magnetic system meaning that the joystick never physically touches the sensor itself. With Joy-Con drift one of the biggest ongoing issues with the Nintendo Switch, this controller certainly appeals to those looking for a solution to this issue.
The NYXI Wizard is available right now on NYXI’s website and costs $69.

Preorder Dead Space on Steam, and you’ll receive a free copy of Dead Space 2 on January 27, when the new game launches.
The new 2023 version of Dead Space is a from-the-ground-up remake of the 2008 original. It kicks off when engineer Isaac Clarke is dispatched on a repair mission aboard the USG Ishimura, where something has gone horribly wrong. He must fight through hordes of monstrous creatures called Necromorphs, mainly using his engineering tools.
The original was one of the best survival horror games ever made, in my opinion, and this new version features an expanded story line, plus modernized graphics, audio, and gameplay. You can check out our Dead Space hands-on preview for more of the exciting deets, like the “Peeling System” and the “Intensity Director.”
