Forget Hades 2, this underloved punk roguelike I adore is less than $1 for a short time only

Reignbreaker is a roguelike game where players embody Clef, a rebel aiming to overthrow an oppressive Kingdom in a medieval punk world.

The game is currently available in the Killer Bundle from Fanatical, starting at .75 for five games, making it a cost-effective option compared to Steam sales.

Cyberpunk 2077 Mac benchmarks show most Apple Silicon can run the game at over 30 FPS on medium settings — results vary from a smooth 130+ FPS to a cinematic 24 FPS

Cyberpunk 2077 has launched on macOS after over four years since its initial release on PCs and consoles, coinciding with patch 2.3. ComputerBase has initiated a community benchmarking effort to evaluate the game's performance on various Mac and MacBook models, following previous benchmarks in 2022. Participants are to test three presets (Medium, Ultra, Ray Tracing Medium) at resolutions of 1920 x 1200 and 2560 x 1600, with specific settings outlined for the benchmarks. The game is compatible with Apple M chips but is unsupported on iPadOS devices, even those with 16GB of memory. There is hope that CD Projekt Red and Apple may reconsider this limitation in the future.
