Dragon Quest Builders 2 was released last week on PS4 and Nintendo Switch and we have a bunch of PS4 Pro videos to show you today. As the beginning of the game is pretty slow due to all the tutorials, we had to edit the footage we captured to keep the most important highlights of the long introduction.

The development of Day Z was a long one to say the least. It all started very well for Dean Hall, who had created an Arma 2 Zombie mod which became so popular that the young developer was finally asked to join Bohemia Interactive to start working on a standalone version in 2013. The arrival of the project in early access was a huge success but no one expected the game to reach its 1.0 state 6 years later, long after Hall decided to leave the studio to work on another early access game. PS4 owners were only able to try this survivalist experience very recently but PC and Xbox One owners have been surviving since last March. It doesn't mean the forerunner of surviving game is now polished though, quite the contrary. Performance issues are still there, loot is so scarce that it makes it difficult for newcomers to find the incentive to keep playing, melee combat is cumbersome at best, so our time playing was more frustrating than fun. Now we realize it's a totally subjective point of view and some people will definitely be content. That being said, we can't help but think the Day Z ship has sailed.

Focus Home Interactive invited us for a preview event of The Surge 2 and we played the game for more than 4 hours. We didn't return home empty handed as we have more than an hour of gameplay footage to show you. For some reason, Shadow Play was set up to record 30 fps videos while the game was running perfectly smoothly at 60, so we must apologize for that even though it wasn't really our fault. We came back pretty excited by what we have seen of the game (we started at the very beginning) so we can't wait to put our hands on the final game in September. Enjoy the preview videos!

As promised, but with a bit of a delay we didn't expect a few days back, here are our videos of Sea of Solitude on Xbox One X. Overall, we have truly enjoyed our time playing the game, though the experience is rather short (4 hours). The performance mode allows you to run the game at 60 fps and it is pleasantly smooth so we advise you to do the same as the standard mode doesn't feel as good, at least from our perspective.

Sea of Solitude was released at the end of last week and the reviews have been pretty mixed so far to say the least. Because we didn't get to start playing the game before yesterday, it is obviously too soon to tell you what the game is truly worth, but the first two chapters we have played have given us a rather positive impression. We love the art style and the game's atmosphere, we find the character's animation very good overall, and despite some pretty basic gameplay mechanics, we enjoyed discovering Cornelia Geppert's title. Check out our 4K footage of the PC version inside and let us know what you think.
Note: Some Xbox One X footage will follow shortly.

Let's continue with another Mario Kart lookalike since we have finally found the time to record a few videos of Crash Team Racing, here in its Xbox One X version. This remake is very faithful to the original when it comes to pure gameplay, which means you'll have to learn the basics before you can easily win races in medium mode. Inside you'll find videos of the first 3 tracks of the story mode.

Now that things are going to be a bit quiet, we have a bit of catching up to do and we'll start with Team Sonic Racing, released a few weeks back on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Here are a bunch of 60 fps videos recorded on Xbox One X. Enjoy!

Just like in the good old days when we could regularly show you games on all systems, we were sent an Xbox One version of The Sinking City to share some gameplay footage. As you will see, Frogwares decided to go for an unlocked framerate, which might not have been the best choice considering how unstable it is. From what we've seen, it doesn't seem to go below 30 in most cases so it would be nice if an option to lock the number of frames at 30 were made available in the near future. As for the game itself, it definitely has some issues (mostly on the technical side, but we also find the gameplay loop to be a bit limited after a few hours), but its atmosphere and story-ies make it a decent game to play if you like the myth of Cthulhu. Now we advise you all to wait a few patches and possibly a sale not to pay it full price.

Our Internet problems now being over, we can finally get back to business and give you the few videos of F1 2019 which should have been added to the first two last Friday. Again, the following footage was captured in the benchmark mode so it is not actual gameplay. We would have loved to record a few races while we were offline but for some unknown reason the game started to perform terribly once Steam was in offline mode. We don't really know if there's a link, but capturing some 19/20 fps videos was obviously out of the question.

The Sinking City has finally been released so we can lift the veil on the gameplay footage we prepared beforehand. There should have been a bit more coverage of recent games, but sadly an Internet breakdown at my place has made it quite a challenge to have the following videos ready (and even to download the game to be perfectly honest). Enjoy!
