DLSS 3: how it works, how it performs, and when you should use it

Nvidia’s next-gen upscaler, explainified Nvidia DLSS 3 is arguably the single most interesting thing to emerge from theRTX 4090andRTX 4080GPU launches. Even with, I’ll concede, some limits: whereas previousDLSS(Deep Learning Super Sampling) versions have been available to any GeForce RTX graphics card, DLSS 3 is currently only usable on these RTX 40 series models. Or will be, once the RTX 4080 goes on sale on November 16th. Yet having tested it out on the RTX 4090, I’m convinced it could be as big a deal as the cards themselves, especially if you have a high-refresh-rategaming monitor....

Seer-iousy good The future has arrived in Monkey Moon’s new narrative management game, and you can see it all the next time you go and fill up your car. At EyeLife’sFlat Eyestations, why stop at getting milk and snacks when you can also pick up a whole new stomach, liver and other assorted organs? You’ll find them on aisle five, right next to the surgery booths. Perhaps you’d prefer a quick medical checkup instead, though?...

Floodland review: city-building with a focus on community

This rising tide lifted no one Survival city-builders put the fear of God in me. There’s just something about managing an entire civilisation of people that just shreds my nerves. Managing the last group of people alive on whatever world they inhabit has me questioning my every decision like I’m cutting wires underneath a bomb. It’s a relief then, thatFloodlandis a bit more chill than some of its city-building contemporaries. Gone are the humanity-ending threats likeFrostpunk’s great Winter storm, forever bearing down on you and periodically tightening its grasp around your neck....

Forever Skies has delayed the launch of its airships into 2023

Firstrevealedback in January, Forever Skies was originally meant to launch into early access before the end of the year. However, the team said they’ve been inundated with feedback following the game’s October Steam Next Fest demo, which reached more than 80,000 players. “We’re now looking at a much larger influx of players picking up the game during Early Access than originally predicted,” they said. “So we want to lay down better foundations for more of our core mechanics so everyone can get a much clearer idea of what else to expect from the future of Forever Skies”....

Have You Played... Factorio?

1,000 hours played, and I’m still a beginner It takes a very special game to give you so much to learn, so many ways to do everything, that even after 1000 hours of playtime you still feel like a beginner.Factoriois daunting in the extreme, and I remember bouncing off it the first time I tried. Thank goodness I gave it a second chance. Building up a gigantic world-spanning, atmosphere-destroying factory slowly and methodically over dozens of hours is probably my favourite singleplayer experience in games....

MSI's RX 6650 XT graphics card is down to £300 with two free games

A faster card than the RTX 3060, while costing £80 less. MSI’s RX 6650 XT is a capable graphics card for 1440p gaming, and it’s down from £380 to £299.99 at Overclockers after a healthy discount. It also comes with AMD’s Raise the Game Bundle, which includes copies of two upcoming games:Dead Island 2andThe Callisto Protocol(confusingly titled ‘The Callisto Project’ by a potentially short-sighted Overclockers staffer). This is a pretty solid deal for three hundred of your Great British Pounds, especially as GTX 16-series cards were selling for this much recently and offer far worse performance....

Sonic Frontiers review: a patchwork playground that veers between fun and frustration

And it’s a solid foundation for the future I shouldn’t enjoySonic Frontiersas much as I do, but I do? The game brings out the worst in me on the regular, as I turn into a spittle slinger who screams into their fist after hitting the tiniest ledge or fighting an awful, awful boss. Frontiers is a janky beast - a mess. Yet, it’s a lot of fun when you’re mindlessly collecting stuff and sliding on rails and listening to excellent drum and bass tracks....
