• Avatar: Seven Havens review: "Juicy narrative threads let down by inconsistent animation and hard-to-follow action"

  09-10-2026 09:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  On paper, Avatar: Seven Havens is absolute catnip for me. Picking up at some point long after Legend of Korra, the world has been reduced to seven havens (get it?) following a mysterious cataclysm that the remaining people blame the previous Avatar for causing. Heady stuff! In practice, however, this juicy plot and narrative threads are let down by inconsistent animation and hard-to-follow action.Note: spoilers for the end of episode 1 follow.The new show follows Pavi and Nisha, long-lost twins

• Nintendo Switch 2 is currently going cheap at JB Hi-Fi, despite everything

  09-10-2026 05:15 via gamesradar.com
  
  It's 2026 and everything costs a fortune. Thanks to the AI industry's greedy appetite for memory, consoles are nowadays much more expensive than they were at launch. The Nintendo Switch 2 is no exception: when it launched last year it cost AU$699.95, but since September that RRP has increased to AU$769.95.Not good! So when a console receives a discount it's definitely worth drawing attention to. JB Hi-Fi is currently offering the Nintendo Switch 2 for AU$699, which is a saving of AU$70.Yes, I re

The boss design is amazing, the soundtrack is killer, and the beautiful wide linear environments have great metroidvania style side distractions.Obviously, the crown jewel of developer S-Game's production is the motion-captured martial arts combat, and it did not disappoint. But as I kept fighting, something unique and unexpected stood out to me and, after having a talk with director and CEO Soulframe Liang,

My hulking opponent repeatedly swings a rusty greatsword with menacing purpose, demanding I dodge or parry with perfect timing to avoid calamitous damage. It's a challenge I relish, stepping to this monstrous humanoid and returning strikes when the gaps emerge.The blows are dramatic and satisfying, and the victory is mine.

• Final Fantasy 7 Revelation boss doesn't want to hear your Rebirth mini-game discourse

  09-10-2026 01:50 via gamesradar.com
  
  Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth takes a lot of flak for the amount of mini-games it has that distract you from the main objective. Queen's Blood, Fort Condor, Chocobo Racing, Galactic Survivors, Pirate's Rampage, Queen's Blood... oh, god, Queen's Blood. (I suck at Queen's Blood because I lack the attention span to learn.)Anyway, I don't much care for all of Final Fantasy Rebirth's mini-games, but I'm not upset that they exist. Even in the rare occasion I'm forced to interact with them, it's usually a ni
