For gamers, the NUC's exorbitant cost far outweighs its space-saving benefits.

The Rig R5 Spear Max HD gaming headset impresses with its modular design and comfortable fit, but its audio quality falls short, particularly for music and general day-to-day use. Despite its gaming-focused tuning, the sound feels one-dimensional, and the noisy microphone is a letdown. Priced at $150, it's a decent but not outstanding choice for exclusive gamers.
Dive into the Lovecraft-inspired world of Call of the Elder Gods, where environmental puzzles and tandem challenges will test your sanity. With a 7-hour story and a penalty-free hint system, this first-person adventure is an entertaining, if somewhat flawed, noggin-tester.
