     Best gaming monitor in 2021

The best gaming monitor might offer a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time at 1080p for a great price, or it might boast 4K resolution in an ultrawide format. There isn't a 'one size fits all' when it comes to monitors. Which genre of game you play the most, and what you really value in a screen, makes a massive difference. But a good monitor, just like the best gaming chair, has an incredibly long lifespan compared to many other components and peripherals, making it a great investment for your gaming PC setup.

There are serious questions you need to ask yourself first to narrow down your selection. Do you favour image quality over lightning-fast pixel response? Do you need Nvidia's G-Sync or AMD's FreeSync? Does it even matter now that Nvidia supports FreeSync?

Are you into the pro-gaming, competitive esports world and crave the super-high monitor refresh rates of TN tech rather than a quality panel? Do you want a traditional 16:9 screen or have you been seduced by the ultra widescreen beauty of a 21:9 aspect ratio? Do you need a monitor so wide you can almost see those Fortnite enemies standing behind you? Or does it absolutely, positively have to be the best 4K gaming monitor so you can spot each individual blade of grass in The Witcher 3? And, finally, how convinced are you by the prospect of high dynamic range gaming?

     Back 4 Blood Review 1Left 4 Dead was a sensation so successful that, even as I write this, the sequel has over 14,000 concurrent players on Steam — though it came out over a decade ago. But Valve isn't in the business of making games for the most part, so WB partnered with Turtle Rock Studios, the team behind the original L4D, to make a spiritual successor. Back 4 Blood has most of what people love about the classic series, plus plenty of new things. It's a damn good time with friends, but the balance is somehow worse than it was during the beta, giving the game a bit of a rough launch. Back 4 Blood is divided into four acts. The fourth one is just a single boss battle, effectively giving the game three campaigns, versus the four and five of L4D and L4D2, respectively. They're beefy, though, and will often take more than two hours to get through each. The game features four-player, cross-play matchmaking, a solo mode, and a PvP mode that pits survivors against player-controlled R...

     Yolked is Getting Over It meets I Am Bread with eggs

A new physics-based platformer is coming to Steam Early Access later this month, and the hook is that you play as an egg with arms. Yolked is out on October 28 - and promises to scramble up the infamous likes of Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy, I Am Bread, and Heave-Ho.

Yolked is the first game from Hardboiled Studios, and while it's had a demo build available on the game's Itch.io page since last year October 28 will mark its first appearance on Steam in early access form. The developer estimates Yolked will spend around "7-8 months" in this form, before releasing properly in Spring 2022 - although this is liable to slip, as many early access games do.

The early access version of Yolked will include "the first stage and a half of the core game" and Hardboiled aims on working with the community to improve things during this time. The final version should contain at least three levels with different designs, more enemies, different game modes, and more lore - yes, there is a story in this game about negotiating a kitchen with an egg.

     Quake 1 gets a

The first big patch for the Quake 1 enhanced edition has dropped, described by Bethesda as a "major update" that takes aim at issues such as controls, bot support in multiplayer, and numerous bug fixes. It also features numerous mod support improvements to get new and old Quake mods working with the new remaster.

The new enhanced edition of the first game in the Quake series was announced at QuakeCon in August and released the same day, along with two original expansions created by Wolfenstein: The New Order developer MachineGames and a PC version of Quake 64. It was great news - especially as it was released as a free patch for anyone who owned Quake on Steam.

However, despite being a remaster of a 25-year-old game, the enhanced edition didn't launch without issues. Players reported numerous issues, including control problems such as with gamepads, mods not being compatible with the new version, multiplayer not working correctly, choppy performance - especially on the new expansion, Dimension of the Machine.

A breakout hit.

Beast Breaker places you in the role of Skipper, a brave little mouse who's tasked with killing giant (well, to a mouse anyway…) beasts that threaten the peaceful lives of the towns and settlements populated by other adorable animals. You do so by engaging with gameplay which is one part pinball game, one part strategic RPG, which proves to be a surprisingly excellent pairing with lots of interesting ideas. The primary goal of each battle is to kill another giant crystalline monster, each of which is comprised of a series of interconnected parts with their own health bars. Only destroying one of these parts—the core—will kill the monster outright, but you often don't have a straight shot or need to chip away at other parts before you can get to it.

Skipper is given a limited number of actions per turn, and you then select from a menu of attacks that usually result in him flinging himself toward the beast and bouncing off its crystalline hide at high speed. You're given an indicator of where is initial trajectory will go, but Skipper often bounces off several surfaces before coming to a stop. An effective turn, then, is one where you line things up just so that he hits several surfaces at once, but you also have to take his terminal point into consideration, too. Each turn, a red zone is marked out on the field indicating where the monster will strike, and if you finish a turn in that zone, Skipper takes a hit and loses health.

     Far Cry 6 may be teasing a Far Cry battle royale or survival game

A new Far Cry spin-off may have been teased within Far Cry 6, as players are discovering. Hidden in the game are QR codes that, when scanned, seem to show a video for some sort of Far Cry battle royale or survival game - although when that will happen is another matter.

Far Cry 6 was released by Ubisoft last week and, despite definitely coming with some problems, at least offered a new open-world paradise for players to explore. Observant players who have been digging into Yara may have spotted QR codes in certain places, such as on some wooden crates.

As detailed by JorRaptor on YouTube (thanks The Loadout), scanning these codes with a phone in real life brings up some short teaser videos. The most cryptic of these shows a cartoon revolver chamber character, a map with various counters suggesting wildlife and multiple players, and an armoured cat attacking either a player or a soldier. The three red arrows suggest players in some sort of multiplayer mode, at least.
