Christopher Livingston has been playing Skye, a casual exploration game that also happens to be a flight sim. You fly a seaplane around a nice-looking island with some windmills and stone arches, doing little jobs for the locals like you’re the protagonist of a kids’ show called Seaplane Sally or something. It’s free and, Chris reports, extremely chill.

Rachel Watts has been playing Almost Gone, a sinister puzzle game that seems like the version of Monument Valley they play in Purgatory. She’s also been looking into the world of games about exploring virtual desktops, games that temporarily turn your PC into somebody else’s like Emily is Away and Her Story. It’s something only PC games can really do, and it’s given us some clever and strange experiences. Some day I’ll get around to Hypnospace Outlaw.

James Davenport has been playing a demo of Mortal Shell, and now the beta is open you can try it too. James found it to be picking up where Dark Souls left off, both in terms of challenge and its storytelling. It assumes you’ve played a souls-like before, enough to already be good at them so it can get right to throwing

player and streaming personality Byron “Reckful” Bernstein.Bernstein reportedly died by suicide earlier this week – he was 31 years old.

Players from around the world across multiple WoW and WoW Classic servers gathered in Azeroth’s Stormwind Cathedral to kneel and celebrate Reckful’s life. The World of Warcraft team paid tribute to Bernstein on Twitter, calling him “one of the most memorable WoW players of all time.”

Twitch issued its own statement, noting Reckful’s pioneering impact on the platform “Byron was someone who talked about his struggles to help make room for others to do the same”, the statement reads. “As we process this loss, we have to recognize that the stigma around mental health and treatment often prevents people from seeking and getting the help they need.”

Today we all witnessed not only the largest in-game memorial but also the largest in-game player-driven event in the history of World of Warcraft

In times like this it’s easy to think of the evil that people are capable of but we can’t forget the purity and kindness as well. pic.twitter.com/5mzOSZrM3Z

The best 4K gaming monitor offers a svelte mix of high-resolution imagery with top panel technology and the latest high-end features. That means we want its 3840 x 2160 fidelity to pop on a VA or IPS screen, for it to have a refresh rate above the 60Hz baseline, and have some form of frame-syncing capability, whether that’s G-Sync or FreeSync.

But while 4K gaming is still relatively niche, and many of the best gaming monitors more than a valid alternative, at least the best 4K gaming monitors are becoming more accessible to us PC gamers. No longer are they either ultra expensive or TN displays, there is a world of high-quality 4K screens out there just waiting to have the glorious vistas of Red Dead Redemption 2 writ large across them.

The most important thing, however, is still making sure that you have a gaming PC capable of making the most of a 4K gaming monitor. The best graphics cards will ensure your machine’s not just going to be rendering a gaming slideshow with the step-up to 4K. You should also aim for a larger screen size too. The first 4K monitor we ever tested was glorious, but was

Previously, gameplay has shown the player-character using Mantis Blades (the game’s sword-like appendages that can be hidden inside your own arms) in combination with wall running, in order to perch in hard to-reach spots. You can see the wall-running in action via this timestamped link to the 48-minute gameplay demo from 2018. In the clip, V uses her Mantis Blades to run along a wall, scan some goons, before leaping down and assassinating them.

It’s not clear from Pears’ comments whether Mantis Blades could still be used to perch in some way – perhaps in designated spots rather than anywhere a wall-run could reach. Pears did make a point of noting that there will be other methods of traversal available to the player when the game launches on November 19.

One example used in the text is of the user watching a concert with a set of performers appearing at the same time. The technology claims to be able to “detect on which performer the user is focusing his or her attention and then change the advertisement in accordance with the performer of interest.”

It should be noted that
