Such is the case with Don’t Starve Together, the multiplayer update to the acclaimed game, Don’t Starve. Don’t Starve Together perfectly translates the tension and excitement of the original game into a multiplayer experience, but it’s not the only title that achieves such magic....

Nier Automata was a great game on console, but the Steam release was poorly optimized for PC. It had a locked frame rate, mushy-feeling mouse and keyboard controls, and awful stuttering that could make high-action scenes nigh unplayable. Everyone expected Square Enix to release a PC optimization patch a few months later, but then years went by without a word from the publisher. Fans took it upon themselves to fix Nier Automata with various mods that unlocked the game’s framerate and ironed out all the graphical issues....
