These titles offer vast worlds, intricate stories, and diverse gameplay mechanics, giving players incredible freedom to explore for hundreds of hours. To fully immerse yourself in these detailed worlds, consider outputting the games to a larger monitor or TV with the BenQ GR10, rather than the small 7-inch display.
