OverclockersClub: Ary and the Secret of Seasons Review

It was just less than a month ago that I got to preview Ary and the Secret of Seasons and now I am back for the full review. It is an adventure game where you play as the titular Ary, a young girl from the city of Yule in the world Valdi. In Valdi the four regions you can visit have been locked in specific seasons since an event known as the Great Curse 1000 years ago. Yule, for example, has been in perpetual Winter for all of this time, but then massive corrupting crystals fall from the sky and put it into Summer.

Windows Central: Enjoyed Crusader Kings II? You'll LOVE Crusader Kings III.

Crusader Kings III is a game that focuses almost entirely on characters and dynasties. Paradox revamped many of the systems, slapped on a new user interface, added high0resolution graphics, and added some awesome RPG mechanics that makes Crusader Kings III the best in the series by far.

This year’s ZenFone 7 series, consisting of the regular ZenFone 7 and the ZenFone 7 Pro are sticking to the quite well received and innovative flip-camera design, improving upon its specification by adding in an extra camera module. We’ve also seen key specification improvements on the part of the phone itself, with an important shift from an LCD screen to a new 90Hz AMOLED display, as well as adoption of Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 865 and 865+ chipsets.
