When id Software rebooted Doom in 2016, it not only injected new life into a dormant franchise but also hit the refresh button on the first-person shooter genre. Annual Call of Duty releases, a faltering Battlefield series, and other COD clones had left shooting games feeling stale. Doom, with its brutal, relentless combat and classic FPS mechanics, arrived as a palate cleanser. It shirked modern FPS tenets of cover shooting and regenerating health and instead pushed players to be aggressive and punish enemies up close.

When I booted up Senua's Saga: Hellblade II for the first time, it began with an in-game cinematic, with the eponymous protagonist out at sea. Warrior Senua has willingly allowed herself to be taken captive by Northmen slavers and hopes to cross the sea and reach Iceland, the home of the Norse slavers, to free her people. Her plan is interrupted, however, when the ship meets a violent storm and is torn to shreds, throwing everyone overboard. Senua survives, barely, washed up on a rocky shore, and decides to look for other survivors along the coast.

The Surface Go 3 is Microsoft's latest and most affordable tablet, and it's designed to tackle basic computing tasks. While there's no dearth of convertible Windows laptops, detachable 2-in-1s are still a rarity and usually cost a premium. This makes the Surface Go 3 quite interesting as it's priced lower than the Surface Pro line. It's also a lot more portable, hence the name.
