Cronos: The New Dawn is an impressive Dead Space-like survival horror game from Bloober. Its UE5 powered presentation impresses - but what about my nemesis #StutterStruggle? How does the PC version hold up? Why do optimised settings increase performance by 100+%? That and more!

I have not had access to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC. I cannot comment on its technicals from first person experience, though I was contacted by a number of outlets separately with concern over stuttering. I guess I will have to see for myself when I get access if it is another #StutterStruggle.

Here is a video of CodeMonkey at work :D A hitch would add a distraction to the player and pretty much ruin the experience. Still optimizing things.

Digital Foundry says lots of developers at Gamescom said they aren't able to get Switch 2 Dev kits
"spoken with plenty of devs where they were either told that their game..should just ship it on Switch 1 and rely on backwards compatibility."

Really liking Avowed so far. Interesting world/characters, great animations, and a shockingly good combat system. The classic Unreal Engine traversal stutter is a huge bummer though. #Avowed #UnrealEngine #StutterStruggle

I went to see if the Monster Hunter Wilds PC performance problems were as bad as folks have been reporting and then I remembered I'm lucky enough to have a 4090 and my experience is not really indicative. Best to check out the take from our friends at Digital Foundry.
Monster Hunter Wilds - we can't recommend the PC version
Alex Battaglia takes on Monster Hunter Wilds on PC. Why do we keep having to mention the #stutterstruggle for PC releases?

Technically true I'm sure. Yet #stutterstruggle has been plaguing games ever since UE4, and the situation hasn't got meaningfully better for many years now.
