One of the most memorable sequences in Cyberpunk 2077 is the heist that sets the bulk of its plot in motion. It neatly introduces some of the game's most important cast members, showcases the possibilities of its setting's futuristic technology, and does all of this in dramatic fashion. It's no wonder, then, that heists are a recurring theme in cyberpunk fiction, from the pioneering novel Neuromancer through to tactics-based sci-fi games like Invisible Inc, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, and, most recently, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. Now, anyone looking to get into the latest of these is in luck, as Cyber Knights has just hit 1.0 on Steam alongside positive user reviews and a launch discount.

What are the best PC fans? Upgrading your PC fans isn't just for silent PC obsessives or adding RGB lighting. All gaming PCs need good cooling to ensure consistent operation without any crashes or drops in speed. If you're building a new system, many PC cases either ship with no fans or only include a few, so you'll need to buy at least some fans. Whether you're priority is peak performance, quiet operation, all the RGB, or cost, our list has the right fan for you.The best fan overall is the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM as it offers the best balance of high airflow, static pressure and quiet operation for a high but fair price. However, the best RGB fan is the Corsair LL120 RGB that packs in 16 lighting zones, including the case and fan blades. Meanwhile, the best budget PC fan is the Arctic P12. It's very basic but costs under $10. Check out our full list below for more choices. Meanwhile, if you want a bit more PC fan buying advice, check out the how to choose a PC fan section at the bottom of this list.
