Digital Foundry | What's the best ultra-premium OLED monitor for PC gaming?
Philips Evnia 34M2C8600, LG UltraGear 27GR95QE and Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 tested.
At Digital Foundry HQ, OLED monitors are like buses - you don't see any for ages and then three come at once. Today we're taking a look at one 34-inch QD-OLED, the £1149 Philips Evnia 34M2C8600, and two 27-inch W-OLEDs, the £965 LG 27GR95QE and £920 Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240. Can any of them compare to the £1600 45-inch Corsair Xeneon Flex, and which is the best option for immersive or competitive gaming in the ultra-premium monitor space?

Digital Foundry | Can Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart on PC match - and exceed - the PS5 experience?
And how do lower spec PCs fare?
We've mentioned before that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is a crucial port for the PC platform, primarily because the game is built from the ground up around the concept of exploiting a games machine with access to a state of the art storage solution, the low-level APIs to get the most out of it, along with dedicated silicon to decompress assets on the fly without needing to bother the CPU. Now the game is here and while developer Nixxes has done the heavy lifting and basically solved the storage challenge, a number of issues remain that we hope to see cleaned up via patches in the coming days and weeks.

Pencils down | Why do I let video games send me back to school?
The bell is for me and not for you.
If you're anything like me, the idea of going back to school fills you with dread. I still have nightmares about exams for which I'm unprepared and I still lay awake at night remembering embarrassing things I did when I was fifteen. Yet, show me a game that offers to send me right back there and I'll show you a game into which I'll sink a hundred hours.

Digital Foundry | Remnant 2 is a fitting showcase for Unreal Engine 5's Nanite technology
Extreme detail - but what about performance?
Remnant 2 offers an interesting spin on Dark Souls-style action games, combining that series' fundamental structure with a third-person shooter gameplay and a procedurally generated world. It's a formula pioneered by the first Remnant game in 2019, but the sequel is more technically interesting - as it's a current-gen-only title that takes advantage of Unreal Engine 5 features and the enhanced horsepower provided by PS5, Series X and Series S. We've tested the game on each of these consoles to discover whether its visuals befit its ninth-gen heritage and whether its procedural systems can deliver a satisfying adventure.

The original Armored Core was the game that taught me to fight in the air. Even as I struggle to remember what I had for breakfast this morning, I still have vivid memories of boosting around its squalid industrial plains and catacombs, dipping carefully into my AC's replenishing energy reserve, while combing the cathode-ray TV murk for the hiss and flash of incoming projectiles. I loved jetpack duels and accessorised my mechs to suit, favouring springy reverse-jointed legs, compact laser pistols and featherweight torso components with just the faintest dusting of armour.
