Screen-tearing can be one of the big downsides of playing games at high refresh rates. It tends to happen when your graphics card is putting out more frames than your monitor can handle, causing it to display two images at once. Adaptive sync technologies like G-Sync stop all that from happening by automatically adjusting your monitor’s refresh rate to the number of frames coming out of your graphics card, ensuring smooth, tear-free gaming at all times....

How to build Klee as a DPS in Genshin Impact Best weapon: Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds 4-star alternative: The Widsith Klee is a Pyro Catalyst user, so you’ll want a strong weapon to go along with her fiery abilities....
To celebrate the first flakes of glimmering ice wafting out of the sky like God’s own sub-zero dandruff, here’s a list of the best snow in PC games. Put on a hat, for heaven’s sake. Steep As an extreme winter sports game, Steep is far from perfect. But as a trudging-through-the-snow simulator, it is unparalleled. The visual effects and frumpy sounds as the frosty powder compresses beneath your big boots make you wanna pause and stir some hot choc....
Update: The better ScummVM version, originally only bundled with the GOG release, is now included on Steam too. Released in 1997 by Westwood (yes, the Command & Conquer studio), Blade Runner is not an adaptation of the movie. The adventure game is set in the same city at the same time, but aside from a few cameo appearances it’s telling its own story with its own detective hunting for illegal (maybe) sentient robots....
The Bridge is a logic puzzle from the distant year 2013. It’s full of M.C. Escher-like impossible environments where you’ll need to mess about with physics and turn your own brain upside down a bit. Back in the day, RPS’ (then) John summed up his The Bridge review with “It always looks utterly splendid, and it presents obscure concepts with consummate ease.” You can snap it up on Epic’s store free for keeps until January 30th instead of its usual price £7/€10/$10....
We’ve had to wait an awfully long time for a commercial combat flight sim rooted in the Western Desert campaign. Surveying Desert Wings – Tobruk’s impressive selection of beautifully crafted flyables, you may find yourself asking “Why?” The unfashionable setting means a bevy of unfashionable aerodynes. In addition to new variants of Cliffs of Dover machines (Spitfire, Hurricane, Blenheim, Beaufighter, Bf 109, Bf 110, Stuka, Ju 88, He 111, Freccia…) there are entirely new biplane and monoplane fighters (Gladiator, Falco, Tomahawk, Kittyhawk, Martlet, Folgore, Dewoitine D....
There’s a web of politics involved, but the short version is that insider sources say Microsoft have won over another member of the four person FTC panel, meaning any vote on whether to launch a lawsuit would result in an even split that would effectively OK the deal. That would reduce current FTC Chair Lina Khan’s authority over the body, so to avoid that she might just let Microsoft have at it....
These games could learn something from The Last Spell, a roguelite turn-based tactics game about defending your village each night from hordes of mutant beasts that emerge from the purple fog surrounding the entire world. Whenever I start a new game in The Last Spell, I always rewatch the excellent opening sequence, which succinctly sets a harrowing scene of magic pushed further than we’re used to seeing in most fiction in general, let alone games....
I’ve always had a soft spot for The Long Dark and I swear it’s not just because of the bears. Even in its early access days, the snowy survival simulation was one of the best survival games on PC. I’m always happy to have a reason to return for a new save file every few months and the month-long Winter’s Embrace event seems as good as any. Summer is absolutely not my season, so I’ll gladly crank up my air conditioning and escape into a winter fantasy....
Unlike Google Stadia’s more store-like approach, GeForce Now sells itself by letting you stream games you already own, assuming they’re supported by the service. Unfortunately, that’s where the system’s biggest problems come into play. See, GFN has been shedding games since coming out of beta. Big publishers like 2K Games, Bethesda and Activision Blizzard promptly pulled GeForce Now support from their libraries - with the latter claiming there was a “misunderstanding” over contractual agreements and free trial periods....
The PC Gaming Show, website here, is back for its eighth year and will be presented by Sean Plott and Mica Burton. They’ll be showing off 45 hitherto unseen trailers, and announcing some other things we’ll have to wait until then to find out about. The Future Games Show is also showcasing around 40 yet-unannounced games, including some from Amanita Design, Thunderful and Team 17, some of which will be on PC....
The latest update also offered news on Project Rene, the eventual successor to The Sims 4. The key takeaways: it’s not an MMO but it will have multiplayer as well as singleplayer, and it’s years away from release. You can watch the full stream here, or a breakdown of the main pieces of news. Currently, sims go from swaddled immobile baby to walking, babling toddler. The new ‘infant’ stage, in which your progeny will crawl, cry and cr– burp, will squeeze in-between....
Having been battered back to an ELO (the score what tells you how good you are) in the 800s, I’m now at a lower level than I was when I started playing, and I’m surrounded by people who haven’t even heard of a build order. So, going by the grim inverse golden rule that applies to multiplayer games, in which the best way to improve your game is to do unto others what you hate to have done unto you, I’ve become a complete arse....
Valve previously confirmed to Road To VR that stock would be coming today, starting at 10am PDT. “Due to high demand, we expect available stock to sell out on Monday. All purchases beyond this initial quantity will be fulfilled in the order in which they are received, as supplies increase over the coming months,” Valve said. After hearing that news, some folks got a few wild ideas about how to make sure they got through the checkout process as quick as possible today....
Not so much a delay considering TWAU2 had no announced release date, Telltale nevertheless chose to post a notice telling anxious fans not to hold their breaths on further Fabletown news anytime soon. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Pulling the figures from SteamDB at the time of writing (as spotted by GamingOnLinux), there are 4419 games marked as “playable” and a further 2709 marked as “verififed”. That’s 7128 games in total. For context, Steam Deck games are considered “playable” if they run and play fine on Steam Deck but with perhaps some caveats. You may, for example, need to fiddle with some graphics settings or download a custom control scheme or squint at some too-small fonts....
Not to be confused with the 1993 TurboGrafx CD sequel of the same name, this modern iteration features a new protagonist called Del and takes place in several different locations, developers Zojoi explain on their website. It’s still going to be a first-person dungeon-crawling adventure, but the devs have said they’re hoping to make it four times larger than the original Shadowgate. There’ll also be more monsters, puzzles, items, and, of course, a load more ways for your character to snuff it....
Available on Steam for £2.89/€3.99/$3.99, the Cabin Accessories pack lets you dress up your cab with over 100 pieces of assorted tools, decoration, and flat-out trash. After all, if you’re staring out the same window for hours on end, you may as well enjoy the view. SCS Sofware’s truck sims have always been painstaking about the logistics of trucking, but this pack is a welcome step towards characterising the person behind the wheel....
Quietly one of the best, if not the prettiest games of 2016, I was well excited to hear that Gonner was getting a sequel earlier this summer. Too many people slept on the first game, I reckon, and Gonner2 looks bigger, wilder and a hell of a lot weirder. Like 2016’s Gonner, this month’s sequel is a delightfully trippy action-platformer painted in a splash of throbbing colours. Your wee man, Ikk, is bouncing off into the underworld to solve a problem for Death - and to do so, you’ll need to be on the hunt for new weapons, backpacks, and entirely new heads, popping on a new noggin to dramatically mix up your moveset....
Here’s the announcement trailer, released earlier this week: That does look a lot like Rocket League, even down to its cars and futuristic world design. But okay. The key difference is that this is an actual race, rather than a scored back-and-forth in a confined arena. The golf course you’re competing on is a race course and you’re rushing to be the first of eight players to get your ball in the hole....
