Project Highrise

Project Highrise (opens in new tab)is a city-building game that lets you use the tools of a smart city builder to build the city that you love. With your city and resources, you must look for new buildings to improve your city's overall standing, like books, benches, etc.

In the single-player campaign, you can save or search for potential citizens, move to new cities, or discover the history of your city. In multiplayer, you can play as you share your city with friends, or play with your friends in a local cooperative mode. And when you get over the barrier of entry and want to share your progress, the editor automatically gets into the hands of you.

The announcement was made via the Project Highrise blog (opens in new tab). A few more details were released, such as the variety of building materials and the percentage chance to pick from the factions available.

We're taking a deep dive into the map editor and to give you a taste of what it can do for you, here's our list of the top city builders.

While many gamers will complain about laggy performance and unimpressive graphics, few have any hesitation about the possibility of playing Sunset Overdrive in 4K on your PC, particularly as it runs in at a solid 60 frames per second.

It's a rare occurrence for modern PC games to render at 30 frames per second, but this is rare to see in early access games. The game's user interface and menus are easy to navigate and clean, while the scaling options help make games look more lifelike.

That's not to say Sunset Overdrive doesn't have potential, but it has been developed with 4K in mind, too. It's also in our view to the future that we should consider using a GPU built around an Intel Core i9-9900K (the only unlocked model in this build is the Gigabyte Aorus Master) and that it could work well with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 or Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti.

Not only does it play the game at 4K, but the photo mode looks great too, thanks to the ability to turn on and off DLSS options for those who like to take their time and enjoy the scenery a little more. It's a feature that should be included in the RTX 3080 Ti, but it's something we're still hesitant to implement at this time.

I don't mind the lack of DLSS, but the RTX 3080 Ti certainly doesn't have the performance to take advantage of this, and it might be worth the extra work for that. That being said, it's still going to be a powerful card, even if you're not a gamer.

Here is how the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro performed in our suite of benchmark tests:

3DMark Sky Diver: 12,670; Fire Strike: 152; Night Raid: 15,832

Cinebench R20 Multi-core: 15,083 points

GeekBench 5: 1,558 (single-core); 6,887 (multi-core)

PCMark 10 (Home Test): 6,601 points

Total War: Three Kingdoms (1080p, Ultra): 196 fps; (1080p, Low): 460 fps

Metro Exodus (1080p, Ultra): 138 fps; (1080p, Low): 308 fps

In the games that were benchmarked, the Legion 5 Pro definitely impressed. Running Crysis with ray tracing enabled helped push that game to its absolute limits, with an average of 73 fps. However, during our test, this game still managed to get 50 fps even with ray tracing enabled.

The Legion 5 Pro on the other hand is able to play Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla with ray tracing enabled and even with this hardware, the game ran fairly well even with the AI enabled. While the action isn’t quite as fast as the RTX 3090, the Legion 5 Pro definitely delivers on its promise and is great for gaming.

This is one of the most expensive laptops out there, but it’s worth noting that you won’t have to wait to upgrade the components inside this laptop for much more than the starting price. In fact, for a laptop that costs less than $2,000 / £2,000 / AU$4,000, this laptop really is well worth the price of admission.
