Crimson Moon is shaping up to be exactly the kind of action RPG that makes me nervous about handheld performance. It has a gigantic gothic city, flashy combat, dense enemy encounters, magical effects flying everywhere, and the sort of dramatic lighting that looks fantastic on a powerful desktop but can absolutely bully a handheld APU….
Crimson Moon has the kind of visual style that makes you stop playing for a second just to look around. The ruined streets of Gildenarch, supernatural effects, dark gothic architecture, brutal combat, and those flashy Nephilim abilities can look fantastic on a properly tuned PC. The problem is that the game can also hit your…
Fell & Sell is exactly the kind of game that looks like it should be effortless on the Steam Deck—until the screen fills with enemies, particle effects start flying everywhere, and your carefully built shop becomes packed with items, shelves, decorations, and wandering customers. That combination is what makes the game so addictive. One minute…
There is something incredibly satisfying about a game that lets you smash monsters, grab everything that isn’t nailed down, escape with a backpack full of loot, and then turn around and sell that loot for profit. That is exactly why Fell and Sell caught my attention. I’ve played enough indie games over the years to…
There are some games where a few random frame drops are annoying. Then there are games like Divinum, where a tiny hitch at the wrong moment can absolutely wreck your flow.

There is something wonderfully ridiculous about playing a demanding Star Wars strategy game on a handheld. A few years ago, the idea of carrying around an XCOM-style game with modern cinematic visuals and then expecting it to run smoothly would have sounded like fantasy. In 2026, though, the ROG Ally X makes that conversation surprisingly…
There are few things that annoy me more than a great-looking new game running badly for reasons that have nothing to do with my hardware. I was especially excited to jump into Star Wars Zero Company. The Clone Wars setting, turn-based tactical combat, character customization, and that XCOM-style squad management are exactly the kind of…
Star Wars Zero Company is exactly the kind of tactical Star Wars game I have wanted for years. The turn-based combat has weight, the maps are packed with detail, and watching a carefully planned squad operation fall apart because one enemy flanked you is painfully satisfying. But there is one problem that can ruin the…
If there is one thing I have learned from spending way too many hours tweaking PC games, it is that a gorgeous game can become a nightmare when its graphics menu is left completely untouched.
