Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. Started it last year but fell off because of how tedious it was. With the announcement of a sequel I thought I’d get back to it. The combat is really something enjoyable.

That’s right, Cyberpunk 2077 was released for PC on Dec 2020. And yet for recommended settings and above, it’s now requiring AMD processors released from Sep 2022, and Intel processors released from Q4 2021. These processors are all on the higher end too. This is a huge jump.

I’m very surprised about the processor requirements. For no Ray Tracing, the high preset asks for Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 7800X, and Core i9-12900 or Ryzen 9 7900X for ultra.

I thought most games aren’t so heavily reliant on the number of cores and threads?

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus has a really cool, cyber-gothic OST.

I like epic, intense soundtracks so, Darkest Dungeon and Frostpunk. Monster Train is pretty good too.
