Thankfully, Piranha Bytes has delivered on that area, however the game is plagued by other issues that we’ll cover below. Continue reading Risen 3: Titan Lords – PC Performance Analysis

Sniper Elite 3 – PC Performance Analysis
Sniper Elite 3 has just been released and Rebellion was kind enough to provide us with a review code, so it’s time to see how this new shooter performs on the PC platform. Sniper Elite 3 is powered by the next iteration of Rebellion’s in-house engine, the Asura engine. Asura engine was also used in Sniper Elite V2; a game that performed amazingly well even on older PC systems. And as you’d expect, Sniper Elite 3 is even more optimized than its predecessor.

GRID: Autosport – PC Performance Analysis
GRID: Autosport has just been released and it’s time to see how this new racer performs on the PC platform.

There is no doubt that there are some issues with this game, but overall Codies did a great job. Can it be considered a racer pushing the boundaries? Not exactly. Does it look gorgeous? Oh yes, ir certainly does. Continue reading GRID: Autosport – PC Performance Analysis

Battlefield: Hardline Multiplayer Beta – PC Performance Analysis
Battlefield: Hardline’s Multiplayer Beta is currently under way and we had the chance to get our hands on it. While Battlefield: Hardline promises to be the next step in the Battlefield series, we have to say that its visuals reminded us of DICE’s BF title. Not only that, but Visceral Games has re-used some assets and as a result of that, Battlefield: Hardline – at least visually – feels more like a mod for Battlefield 4 than a brand new BF game. But I guess that’s a story for another day. Continue reading Battlefield: Hardline Multiplayer Beta – PC Performance Analysis

Wolfenstein: The New Order – PC Performance Analysis
Bethesda has released Wolfenstein: The New Order, a remake of id Software’s classic FPS title that was developed by MachineGames, and it’s time to see how this new game performs on the PC platform. Wolfenstein: The New Order is powered by id Tech 5 and its official requirements got us off guard. You see, Bethesda claimed that an i7 processor is the minimum CPU requirement for this title, something that made us wonder whether the PC version was as un-optimized as it could get or not. Thankfully, the game can run without issues on older quad-core CPUs, though it demands a really high-end GPU for its Ultra settings. Continue reading Wolfenstein: The New Order – PC Performance Analysis
Bound by Flame – PC Performance Analysis
Focus Home Interactive has just released Bound by Flame; the latest action RPG that is being developed by Spiders. Bound by Flame is based on the team’s previous title, Mars: War Logs, though it aims to further polish its mechanics and surpass what was described as a ‘game full of potential that did not deliver due to its limited budget.‘ And, frankly speaking, Bound by Flame is a better and more polished game than Mars: War Logs.
