High resolutions, high refresh rates, surprisingly low prices I’m not saying it’s some kind of electronic commerce conspiracy orchestrated by Big Graphics Card, but I’ve noticed that most of thebest Amazon Spring sale dealson gaming monitors are for 4K screens. On the one hand, aww, because everyone likes a bargain 1440p-er. On the other, woo, because gaming-spec 4K monitors are usually some of the most financially devastating PC hardware pieces you can get....

A rare thing: a game with jokes I actually laughed at aloud In a powerful move, one of the two devs behindCryptmasterannounced the delightful typing-based dungeon crawler’s release date last night during his acceptance speech after itwon the Independent Games Festival award for Excellence In Design. Powerful. May 9th is the day, so you have time to practise your touchtyping with Mavis Beacon. I really enjoyedplaying Cryptmaster’s Steam Next Fest demo, so I’m excited for the full game....

Finally,Chú Mófrom The Chú Mó Team@ArtCenter was awarded thealt....

Space saving solution There could well be more to come, but right now, my top pick of theAmazon Spring Deal DaysPC storage offers is this nicely affordable Crucial P3SSD. It’s the 2TB model, sliced down to £86, which is the cheapest this particular drive has been since last year’sBlack Friday. Not to mention about the same price as a1TB WD Black SN850X, while providing twice as much room. That said, the P3 is a PCIe 3....

Welcome savings to our top-rated 1440p graphics card When it launched last year,DLSS 3support and Radeon-beatingray tracingcapabilities propelled theNvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Tito the top of our 1440pgraphics cardestimations. Only its high price remains an ongoing concern, though theAmazon Spring Deal Days sale(that’s the Amazon Big Spring Sale to US folk) can at least take some of the sting out of upgrading. There are, while they last, cut-price RTX 4060 Ti models up for grabs on both sides of the pond....

It’s like the first one, but better You know when you remember a game really fondly and instead of ageing alongside you, it becomes more modern in memory? TheDragon’s Dogma 2experience is, essentially, how I remember its predecessorDragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. To me, DD2 feels like a remaster of the first, except it looks nicer, is more expansive, and features some rejigs to things like your AI pals. Not that any of this is a bad thing!...

Tweaking settings only goes so far Dragon’s Dogma 2is anRPGof manyadmirable qualities. I’m especially attached to my Arisen’s current pair of Pawns, one of whom speaks with the wonderfully stretched intonations of a pitch-shifted Matt Berry. Sadly, none of its achievements pertain totechnicalfidelity. While decent-looking, Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes some serious hardware to maintain consistently smooth performance, with lowered quality settings lending only the most limp-wristed of helping hands. DLSSandFSR 3upscaling are more effective, but this is one game where powering through the worst of its stuttering and framerate drops will take more than a muscleboundgraphics card....

I can dig it This article’s headline is the characterisation ofEverdeep Auroragiven to me by publisher Ysbryd Games, but bizarrely enough, it reminded me initially ofBloodborne. A 2Dplatformerfrom Nautilus Games, Everdeep Aurora begins on the surface, where a ruptured crimson moon fills the sky with blazing meteors. That menacing moon is the first hint of Bloodborne, obviously. The second is the lamp-lit, locked-up house to one side, whose unseen occupant tells you to get lost, adding that they don’t believe all this crazy talk about the apocalypse....
