How to Find Specific Game or Hardware Reviews on Cubed3

Updated

Cubed3 organizes its reviews by platform and product category, so the fastest route to a specific review depends on whether you already know the product name or only the platform you own. If you know the title, scan the latest reviews feed or use the site's search; if you only know your platform, start from the platform or category heading instead. Reviews on the site consistently display the product name, platform, author, date, and a numeric score, which makes it easy to confirm you have found the right one.

Start With the Platform or Category

Cubed3's review sections are split along two axes:

  • Game platforms — Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Mobile, and Retro (including older systems such as PlayStation 2).
  • Hardware and tech categories — Audio Reviews, Controller Reviews, Console Reviews, and Accessory Reviews.

Each review listing pairs a platform label with the product title, so a search for "Elden Ring" resolves to Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Review under Nintendo Switch 2, while a search for a keyboard resolves under Controller Reviews. If you are browsing rather than searching, pick the platform or category heading first, then scan the titles beneath it.

Use the Latest Reviews and Features Feed

The main page lists Latest Reviews & Features as a single combined stream rather than separating games from hardware. Each entry follows the same pattern:

Element Example
Platform PC
Title The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered Review
Author Az Elias
Date 30 September 2026
Score 8

Because games, hardware, and editorial features appear together, the feed is useful for discovery but less efficient for locating one known item. Treat it as a browsing tool and switch to search or a category heading when you have a specific target in mind.

Confirm You Have the Right Review

Once you open a review, check four things before relying on it:

  1. Platform — the same game can be reviewed on more than one system, and the verdict may differ. The Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered review, for example, is filed under Nintendo Switch 2 and explicitly questions whether the visuals are "a bit too nostalgic" on that hardware.
  2. Author — bylines such as Adam Riley, Luke Hemming, or Sandy Kirchner-Wilson tell you who wrote it, which matters if you follow particular reviewers.
  3. Date — reviews carry full dates, so you can judge whether a verdict still applies to a patched or updated release.
  4. Score — the numeric score sits alongside the listing, giving a quick summary before you read the full text.

What the Scores and Coverage Tell You

Cubed3 describes itself as publishing "independent, honest and trusted video game reviews since 2003," and its coverage spans current consoles, PC, mobile, retro systems, and tech accessories. Scores in the listings range across the scale — recent examples include 6, 7, 8, and 9 — so a high number is not automatic. A 9 for the BMX SolidSafe Ultra 5K Magnetic Power Bank for iPhone Duo sits in the same feed as a 6 for Wild Arms 5, which means the score reflects the reviewer's judgment of that specific product rather than a category-wide ranking.

Two practical consequences:

  • Second opinions exist. Some titles carry a "Second Opinion Review" label, as with Bzzzt on Nintendo Switch, so if the first verdict does not match your experience, check whether another reviewer covered it.
  • Hardware reviews are as detailed as game reviews. Accessory and controller write-ups discuss specific features — the rotating stand on the BMX power bank, or hot-swappable switches on the Razer Reclusa X Mini — so read past the score if a particular feature matters to you.

Common Sticking Points

  • Searching by franchise instead of exact title. A series name may return several entries across platforms; narrow by the platform heading to isolate the version you own.
  • Assuming the latest feed is complete. It shows recent additions, not the full archive. Older reviews, such as the PlayStation 2 coverage, sit under their platform section rather than the front page.
  • Treating one score as universal. A remaster reviewed on Switch 2 may perform differently on PC or PS5, and Cubed3 files each version separately.
