    I’m fairly new to the Persona series thanks to one of my peer’s recommendations last year and soon after I fell in love with the franchise for its anime-style cutscenes and a world you can get lost in for days. However, after knowing that Persona 5 Strikers would be more like a Dynasty Warriors game, I didn’t have many expectations, until I played it. From the trailers, I assumed the game would be yet another hack-‘n’-slash game that has taken inspiration from formulas that have already been overused in the Zelda series.

    However, to my surprise, Persona 5 Strikers is more like a true sequel rather than a spinoff game. Just because the combat system had changed from turn-based to real-time action, I was quick to dismiss the game, however, I’ve never been this happy to be proved wrong.

    The game starts off a few months after the events of Persona 5 and gets the band together to send them off for a summer vacation across Japan. As the gang travel along the accurately depicted vistas of Japan on a road trip, they enter metaphysical worlds and save innocent people from getting robbed. While the overall concept remains the same as Persona 5, it's still quite refreshing to play the game in a new way that quickly gets addicting.

    The story starts off slow, much like the first game and sets up the main plot by reintroducing the characters to the player. In a way, it makes it easier for players who haven’t played Persona 5 to get into the game, but for people who have experienced this world already, it becomes a bit cumbersome in the early hours of the game.

    Due to its slow start, I did get a bit impatient to experience the new combat system even though I got a taste of it in the opening tutorial section. In fact, I had to wait almost 30 minutes before I got to get into my first battle. Having said that, once the game picks up pace, you finally get to experience the new battle system in its full glory.

    Combat is probably the marquee feature here that kept me coming back to the game. Instead of being a run of the mill hack-’n’-slash game, the combat system has quite a bit to offer. There will be instances where you can summon multiple Personas or execute signature moves to keep things interesting. There’s also a system where the main protagonist ‘Joker’ can move between high spots such as lamp posts and attack with sneak attacks on enemies.

    For example, Haru uses an axe that is quite slow to use but deadly at the same time due to its high damage stats. Similarly, Joker can use more abilities, thanks to all the personas at his disposal. Similar to Dynasty Warriors, Persona 5 Strikers also offers different play styles with each character as you can switch between characters quite fluidly and make use of each character’s strengths on the fly. While so far we’ve made the combat system sound quite easy to experience, its simple mechanics can also pose a challenge to players. While you might get carried away to hit combos, you also open yourself up to attacks from enemies as it takes some time to pull off some of the more powerful moves.

    Most of the battles in the game take place in a small arena type setting instead of an open-world which like Dynasty Warriors. Since battles are set in a small area, you will not come across endless hordes and most battles don’t last too long. The entire experience is quite addicting since the game throws many types of enemies to keep things interesting. Smaller battles also mean the game doesn’t feel cluttered and since there aren’t too many assets on the screen at the same time, it runs very smoothly on the PlayStation 5/4. I haven’t tested the Nintendo Switch version yet but it seems like the game performs better than Dynasty Warriors on the platform.

    While most of the battles are quite fun, we enjoyed boss battles the most as there was enough variety and they were a bit more challenging. Usually, you will end up fighting a giant enemy where your skills of dodging attacks are tested. Equally, you will also have to figure out weaknesses and exploit them by using the appropriate characters. Boss battles are where Persona 5 Strikers shines the most and is a great example of what the developers at ‘Atlus’, ‘Omega Force’ and ‘P Studio’ are capable of.

    The Final Verdict © Atlus
    Persona 5 Strikers is more of a sequel than a spin-off game that most people assumed when they saw the launch trailer. It may not be a full-blown Persona game, but it sure does come close. With a new and fluid combat system and a story that lasts for about 30 hours, Persona 5 Strikers is surely another game in the series you cannot afford to miss.

    We have often said that certain Television actors in India are way more stylish and fashionable than most major Bollywood celebrities. It wouldn’t be too much to say that sometimes, these are the guys who are really pushing the envelope when it comes to fashion and style.
    © Instagram/dheerajdhoopar
    Dheeraj Dhoopar is one such guy. Time and again he has impressed us with some or the other amazing outfits, as well as his beard. The man surely knows how to maintain a slick-looking beard.
    © Instagram/dheerajdhoopar
    Well, very recently, he gave us a proper lesson in style, on wearing a basic black suit with great panache. 

    First of all, take a good hard look at the length of the jacket. It is a bit longer than usual, which gives the suit a very interesting silhouette. The pleat-less pants also look super dapper with the longish jacket and give it a very European and modern appeal.
    © Instagram/dheerajdhoopar
    The decision to go for a white shirt seems natural, as that is one of the most classic pairings to go for. We also like the fact that he went for a slim, black tie. The tie, as well as the jacket, actually accentuate his height and make him look taller.
    © Instagram/dheerajdhoopar
    As for accessories, Dheeraj has again kept things very clean and simple. A dope looking pair of Wayfarer styled sunglasses and a digital smartwatch, are actually pretty cool choices. A tie-pin would have been a nice touch as well, but given that this is a slim tie, it actually looks good without one. 
    © Instagram/dheerajdhoopar
    His choice of shoes is again interesting here, and somewhat off the beaten track. Normally, people would pair either a pair of Oxfords or Brogues with a black suit. Dheeraj, however, chose to go for a pair of Chelsea boots.

    This is actually a superstylish move, as this not only brings the whole outfit together, it also works well to accentuate the sharpness and the globetrotter-like vibe that Dheeraj was perhaps going for.
    © Instagram/dheerajdhoopar
    All in all, this is actually a super dapper outfit, and very Euro-centric aesthetic to go for. Dheeraj surely looks dope in it.

    A lot of times, Riteish Deshmukh's appearances have gone under the radar, but the star has been levelling up his fashion game of late and has made it pretty clear with some of his ensembles. From his powder blue pants to stepping out in emoji inspired sneakers, Riteish understands fashion and has made even the most basic silhouettes stand out.

    Another great choice here are the sneakers he paired with this look. These are dad sneakers with a huge outsole and they also have glow in the dark detailing. We think that these two elements make for a perfect date night look.

    Goatee beard styles are widely popular. Inspired by some famous stars to regular guys, there are a lot of styles that can look good, regardless of what variation you choose for yourself
    Choosing the best goatee beard style can be cumbersome since it has to match your face shape as well
    In this guide, we will talk about the latest goatee beard styles that you can give a try and transform your look.
    1. Classic Goatee © iStock
    The classic goatee style is the one that has no moustache. To achieve this look, you will have to shave off all your hair, from the cheeks, neck area as well as your moustache. The hair on the lower lip will be in a semicircular form, and it doesn't have a landing strip or soul patch. Trim it properly to get a classic goatee. This beard style goes well with diamond-shaped face and looks good on the elongated chin.

    2. Van Dyke Goatee Beard © Instagram/Cristiano Ronaldo
    You must have already heard about the Van Dyke Beard style, but you can try the goatee version of it as well. If you are looking for something modern, this beard style combines the V-shaped soul patch with a moustache and goatee beard. This goes well with all face shapes even for men with thin beard hair.

    3. Anchor Goatee © Instagram/Ironman.fanpage
    This one is almost similar to the Van Dyke goatee, but the difference comes in the moustache style as here, it is not dense but pencil moustache. This style is combined with a V-shape soul patch and is extended in a linear manner with the goatee, giving it a shape of an Anchor. The face shapes that blend with this style are round, oval and square shape.

    4. Chin Goatee With Detached Moustache © Instagram/Zac Efron_FC
    For men with a patchy beard, they can give this goatee beard style a try. Since this one can be worked with fine hair as well, you need to combine the thin moustache with your goatee. The beard style matches round and oval-shaped face quite well.

    5. Full Goatee © Instagram/TomHardy_FC
    This one is another classic goatee, which resembles a circle beard. It starts at the thick moustache and goes down around the sides of the mouth. It covers the chin area as well. The hair is thick and this unbroken circle, beard style goes with all face shapes.

    6. Balbo Goatee © Wikipedia
    This is another Anchor goatee style, but the sides are thick and longer in length than the original goatee style. Balbo goatee style pairs well with a small moustache and suits square-shaped face.

    Takeaway:These goatee beard styles are perfect for every face shape. The aforementioned styles are a big hit for men in 2021 and if you are a fan, don't forget to try them out.

    One of the lies we were told as teens was that pimples would magically disappear as we enter adulthood. This certainly never happened, some of us experience some form of acne in our twenties and sometimes even in our thirties. There seems to be no end to this problem unless we go out of our way to find a solution. Among the different types of acne out there, adult acne proves to be the deadliest of the lot.

    Adult acne is defined by the development of tender, inflammatory nodules underneath the skin that pop out and take up a significant surface area on the skin. The adult acne flare-ups tend to also pain making them impossible to ignore. Moreover, the annoying thing about these pesky breakouts is the fact that regular drug store anti-acne products don't seem to work on them. So, here's a quick guide to get rid of those pesky breakouts:

    1. Never Pop Those Pimples © iStock
    This is one rule you should never try to break. As satisfying as it might feel, don't pop your pimples—particularly if they are cystic. By your mid-20s and 30s, the acne that you experience is not the same acne that you had in your teens. They are made of deep pockets of white blood cells that don't pop like your teen pimples, even if they do, they might damage your skin permanently. Unlike your regular blackheads and whiteheads, under-the-skin pimples do not have a core of dead skin or pus. So, when you try to pop an adult pimple, you're basically inflicting trauma to your skin which further causes more inflammation. Then, in the long term, leads to permanent scarring and skin discolouration.

    2. When You're Going To Break Out, Ice The Spot Like You Would A Sprained Ankle © iStock
    It doesn't matter where you're going to break out, ice the spot when you feel the pop. With adult acne, by virtue of the acne being rooted skin-deep, you will feel it when it is in its initial stages. Applying an ice cube directly on your skin will restrict the blood vessels underneath and prevent inflammation and the size of the pimple. This is an excellent technique to calm the redness on your skin. 

    3. Use A Mild Cleanser © iStock
    Often times cleansers can prove to be counter-reactive and instead of preventing breakouts create an environment that encourages more acne. Go for a cleanser that is not harsh on the skin but at the same time is successful in weeding out all the gunk from your pores.

    4. Use An Oil-Free Moisturiser Right After © iStock
    Even if you have acne-prone skin, use a face moisturiser regularly to hydrate the skin, lock in that moisture and create a visibly healthy skin barrier. Here, opting for a moisturiser that has ceramides, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid can really help. These are all ingredients that help with redness and inflammation and restore the skin's barrier.

    If you are just looking for a fitness tracker and don’t want to spend too much on your gift, you can always consider getting the Mi Smart Band 5, Realme Band or the OnePlus Band.

    Wireless noise cancellation headphones are the new hot category users are investing in and there are only two options to consider in India. For Apple users, we recommend the AirPods Max and for Android users, we recommend the Sony WH-1000XM4. The Sony headphones can also be used with an iPhone so you have a tough decision to make. If you need help selecting between the two, check out our detailed comparison here.

    Aparshakti Khurana has a way of switching things up from time to time. 
    With a transient style that changes all the time, it's becoming harder with every passing week what he's going to wear next. 
    Even his Instagram feed is an example of how his style aesthetic keeps changing and yet never fails to impress us.
    View this post on Instagram
    When he's spotted on the streets, his style is more laidback, casual, and functional, but when it comes to formal events, he really cleans up well and how.  
    For instance, for the Femina Miss India finals event, he'd made a fellow guest appearance with actors Pulkit Samrat and Neha Dhupia, among others.  
    For this particular event, he went for a velvet formal suit which consisted of a velvet blazer and coordinated velvet pants with a bow tie.  
    He then wore a pair of loafers with the lightning stud embedded on them. Take a look at his outfit here:

    However, this is not the only risk Aparshakti has taken off late.  

    Last week, he wore fluffed up joggers from Kenzo and casual sneakers that were a rad combo together. Another time, he wore an odd pair of capri pants and a pair of pants that looked like the modern version of a 'lungi;
    Having done films like Street Dancer, Pati Patni Aur Woh, and Luka Chuppi with Kartik Aaryan and Kirt Sanon, Aparshakti has a relatively tight schedule this year. 
    He's extremely busy shooting for film projects which include the likes of Kanupriye directed by Ashish Aryan and Helmet directed by Satram Ramani.

    Kartik Aaryan has a rather dope sense of style. 
    Whether you consider his athleisure outfits, of when he dresses up in quirky suits, the man knows how to dress to impress.

    We have always been a fan of his understated, but functional understanding of style. 

    It also compliments the chocolate boy image that he has maintained, rather well.

    Very recently, he showed us again, why, he is considered to be one of the best-dressed filmstars in India.

    Kartik was seen in a rather dope looking outfit. It was monochromatic, and yet, it wasn’t a monochrome outfit in the strictest sense of the phrase.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Kartik was seen wearing a rather dope looking safari shirt, with huge pockets and relaxed-fitting pair of linen khaki pants.

    If you ask us, that is actually a dope way to take the monochrome route. All outfits need some semblance of contrast, even the monochromatic ones.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We particularly like how he has set up a contrast between his upper and lower halves. What’s even more interesting is the silhouette of the shirt that he’s wearing. 

    The shirt with its huge pockets and crumbled plackets give him a rather dapper look.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like how he has styled his outfit. It is rather lackadaisical, which is the reason it works. 

    If you look at the buttons of his shirt, you’ll notice that it doesn’t go all the way to the bottom. And yet, Kartik decided to keep most of it unbuttoned, while buttoning just the last two buttons. That’s a dope move.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like the Todd loafers that he has got on. The dark blue shade of the loafers goes rather well with the rest of his outfit.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We can’t help but notice the way that Kartik has been styling his hair for a couple of days now. Kartik had kept his hair long for his upcoming film Dhamaka, which is scheduled for a release this year on Netflix. 
    © Instagram/kartikaaryan
    Comparisons were drawn between his character and that of Keanu Reeve’s John Wick, in terms of looks, and we have to say, the similarities are eerie indeed.

    As for Kartik’s outfit, we think he looks super dapper indeed. A job well done.

    Who needs actors and singers to entertain us when we already have politicians who do a better job at it? This has been proven time and again with so many ministers giving us hilarious content.

    The latest meme we now have is thanks to Mamata Banerjee. 
    The West Bengal Chief Minister had a rather interesting way of mocking TMC leaders who quit the party to join BJP.
    © Reuters
    While addressing a public meeting at Murshidabad, she said, “A few naughty cows left the party to join BJP, as Mir Jafar joined the British at the Battle of Plassey."

    Now comes the best part; she went on, "They are now making a lot of noise — humba humba, ramba ramba, kamba kamba, dumba dumba, bomba bomba. The sooner they leave the party, the better."
    What skills, everyone is in awe!

    The seven-second video of her saying the most hilarious string of words people have heard - "humba humba, ramba ramba, kamba kamba, dumba dumba, bomba bomba" - is being widely shared online and the out-of-context video is now the most hilarious meme.
