Features
The latest long reads, interviews and perspective from across PC and console gaming.
Overwatch Reduce Buffering: on or off?
Enable Reduce Buffering on a non-NVIDIA GPU; use Reflex on supported GeForce cards. Compare Boost separately and keep SIM apart from total system latency.
The paths between Phantom Blade Zero's fights
Rough maps leave room to investigate, while helping citizens can open new story paths through the Wulin.
A home in Lightyear Frontier's new wilderness
Lay out holograms before adding materials, then furnish a home as deliveries help the Colonies grow.
Dota 2 Vulkan vs DX11: which should you use?
Keep the renderer that runs reliably on your Windows PC, then compare Vulkan and DX11 one at a time if problems persist. Linux needs a separate driver check.
Modern Warfare 4 rebuilds Kill Block every two rounds
Three modular map sections, matching weapons and a two-round rhythm give Gunfight a fresh arrangement to read.
Fight your friends for the crown in Fool King
A share code brings a group into its own realm, with separate decrees and scores for taking the throne or holding it.
Rocket League input buffer: STS or CSTS?
Compare the strength of time scaling, then use the queue and loss readings to decide what to keep.
Warhammer Survivors' swarms have weak links
Killing a Synapse creature interrupts the nearby swarm; Skaven spells protect rats and gunners restrict your route through the fight.
Emberville's classes have skills worth keeping
Weapon and armour development unlocks classes, and skills learnt in one class can become part of another active build.
War Thunder DirectX 12 or 11? Check your GPU
Choose a renderer around stability, ray tracing and the specific behaviour of your Intel or Radeon graphics card.
