Valheim is the best early access game I have ever seen. It is surprisingly polished, has seamless multiplayer and the progression (at least so far) is fantastic. Wow. I’m blown away by how good it’s been

(It is very performance heavy though- thankfully I have a great rig).
 
Finished the main story on Cyberpunk last night. Must say I enjoyed it, and despite playing it on console I had a pretty trouble-free experience - the worst I had was when a mission didn't move on after I'd killed all the enemies it had instructed me to, which meant loading the last checkpoint. But nothing remotely close to game-breaking, and not one crash. I know there are plenty more missions to do in it, but I'm not sure if I want to devote that much more time to it. I know a lot has been said about the game, but I really had no big problem with it, other than finding it to be not revolutionary in the slightest; all told, it's just another big open-world game in which you craft items, do side missions, acquire perks, and encounter tedious boss battles. With all its emphasis on hacking, drones, etc, it kind of reminded me of Watch Dogs Legion which, while also buggy, is probably the better game all told. I think the menus for perks/skills, cyberware, hacks, etc are all needlessly complicated and fiddly - granted, it may be you can take it as deep as you want, but for all the talk of "builds" and so on, I found myself spending perk points in a fairly arbitrary way, and got through most of the game with just a half-decent sniper rifle. Anyway, I think that there's a lot of fun to be had with it if you managed to avoid both the hype machine and the post-release negativity. As it can now be had for less than £20 for PC, which it seems to run so much better on, I'd definitely recommend it at that price.
 
Gaming mouse: kid wants to spend his birthday money on one... any recommendations. Something decent but doesn’t break the bank. I do believe you get what you pay for and want something he won’t get tired of too easily. Any recommendations?

Depeneds how many buttons he wants and the kinda games he plays I guess. Some mice are better for FPS games (Razer Viper. for example, I have which is ambidextrous and great) and some like those with lots of buttons on for MMORPG's etc. (Razer Naga Pro example).

What I would do, and I do this with everything I'm buying, is just search something like "Top 10 gaming mice" online, open a few different lists and cross-check mice against it with those. Quite often they'll split them like 'expensive option', 'affordable' etc.

Ya started on that... always good to get a first hand recommendation as well. Kids are really fortnite, roblox.. so guess few more buttons helps...seem to be a razer fan. He likes the razed basilisk but I like a wired mouse.. I’ll check out those two.. cheers

Cooler Master MM711 I use mate, smaller profile so should be easier on your kids hands.
Extremely well reviewed and I prefer it massively over my Razer Deathadder.
Had a few small build issues with initial releases (over a year ago now) but they seem to have sorted it all out now and zero complaints with mine.
About 45 quid, worth a look.

Logitech G502 is fantastic, £50. If he's a Razer fan, the Deathadder Elite is same price on Amazon, but find the Logitech G502 much better personally.
