That notch at the top isn't just a sensor pack, it's a design element, one that apple is heavily pushing.
Apple is turning a design quirk into the iPhone X’s defining feature - The Verge
This means designers are being told not to black bar the notch but to design around it, making the best apps those that pretend as if a big bite isn't being taken out of the top or side, or that's just a normal thing, oh and the swipe based home controls are a bit sensitive so could you just move any of your on screen controls inwards so the users fat hands to block more of the gaming screen... that would great...
