Back in the 90s, the PC was flooded with stealth games. These days, however, there have been very few titles embracing these mechanics. Sure thing, we’ve got games that offer stealth approaches (Dishonored 2 and the latest Deus Ex games), but apart from HITMAN there haven’t been any games relying completely on stealth mechanics. Which basically makes Styx: Shards of Darkness a perfect release in 2017. Styx: Shards of Darkness is the sequel to Styx: Master of Shadows, is powered by Unreal Engine 4, and it’s time to see how it performs on the PC platform.

Dead Rising 4 – PC Performance Analysis
Dead Rising 4 released last week and passed under everyone’s radar. One of the reasons this happened is… well… quite simple.
