FULL SYNC

Online/Digital
FULLSYNC was first established in 2016 as Full Sync Gaming, the brainchild of three friends who met through the gaming community. We all spent a lot of time reviewing indie games for various websites throughout the start of our careers as amateur critics, and it didn’t take long for us to realise we could start something all of our own, something simple, clean and approachable with a focus on down-to-earth reviews. We wanted to be the journalistic equivalent of an indie game studio, “your friendly neighbourhood games site.” Our early development was fuelled by the collective efforts of streamers, game developers and companies that believed in what we were doing. Full Sync Gaming evolved into FULLSYNC, and suddenly the name made sense – we became a group of people working together to do something that couldn’t be achieved alone. Thanks to the tireless work of Joshua Maddox, the site went from strength to strength, building a solid foundation within the community we all love so much. Source

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Big battery, big attitude, not quite studio perfection

| FULL SYNC
8 There are headphones made for the gym. Headphones made for the train. Headphones made for pretending you’re in a music video while doing the washing up. And then there are headphones like the OneOdio Studio Max 1; a chunky, blacked-out set of cans that look like they’ve been built for someone who actually has a use for terms like “cue mix” and “single-ear monitoring”.

Slay the Spire 2 sells 5.3 million copies in first month on steam early access

| FULL SYNC
9 Mega Crit’s Slay the Spire 2 has had one of the most impressive Early Access launches in recent memory, and the sales figures are here to back that up. According to new data from Alinea Analytics, shared by analyst Rhys Elliott on Twitter, the game sold an estimated 5.3 million copies in March 2025 alone. That’s particularly remarkable given it only launched on Steam on 5th March, meaning it achieved those numbers in under four weeks. To date, the title has generated $108 million on Steam.

2026 is the Golden Age of the Extraction Shooter

By Ben Kirby Verified
| FULL SYNC
13 Extraction shooters have officially taken over the landscape in 2026. Whilst the genre was once dominated by military sims that felt like doing your taxes in a war zone, we now have two heavy hitters that prioritize style and feel. Arc Raiders and Marathon are both vying for your time, and honestly, they both deserve it for very different reasons. One is a soulful, third-person journey through a rusted-out Earth, and the other is a neon-soaked, high-stakes sprint through a digital fever dream.

PEAK developers remind players that updates are a bonus, not a right

| FULL SYNC
26 PEAK was one of 2025’s biggest indie success stories. A small, co-op climbing game born out of a game jam between Landfall Games and Aggro Crab, it became one of Steam’s best-selling and most-played titles of the year, not because it promised endless content, but because it was genuinely fun. And yet, some players still aren’t satisfied. As spotted by GamesRadar, a since-deleted tweet accused Landfall of running a “lazy dev cycle.” The studio wasn’t having it.
