Paralives has finally arrived in Early Access. While it has a lot of similarities to other life sims that help seasoned players navigate its features, most features aren't in what will be their final state due to the game's Early Access status. The result is that caring for your Paras isn't always as straightforward as you might believe.

The PS4 was a rough time for JRPGs, and that's being kind. The genre was so far gone at this point that you kind of had to grit your teeth to enjoy the "good" JRPGs out there. Games like Final Fantasy 15 and Tales of Arise were decent games, but ones that felt a far cry away from what the golden era of the genre had to offer.

Paralives makes you work to build relationships between your Paras, whether it's friendship or romantic. When you're used to how easy the Sims makes it to form a relationship, particularly in The Sims 2 and beyond, it can be frustrating to learn that Paralives kicks up the difficulty, and includes an element of luck. However, it might seem more realistic, as relationships in real life aren't always easy to form and maintain.

007 First Light is finally here, and despite a little bit of scepticism leading up to its launch, it really does deliver on the globetrotting, spying adventure that you'd hope for from a James Bond game. Graphically, it's not setting new standards, but this is still a great-looking game that you'll want to push to its limits to get the most cinematic experience. To find out just how best to do that, we've put the game through its paces to find the best settings with which to run it. In terms of GPU requirements, the 007 First Light system requirements aren't super demanding - so you won't need the best graphics card around just to fire up the game - but it definitely benefits from some eyecandy to draw you in to its adventure. It also isn't a game that needs an ultra-fast frame rate to play comfortably, especially if you play with a controller, so you can push graphics higher at the expense of frame rate withough ruining the experience. Read on below to find out how best to get 007 First Light set up for your needs.
