Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMO column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. Every…
You might not know this, but that alarmingly good Paper Mario-inspired RPG, The Stick of Truth, and its sequel, The Fractured But Whole? As it turns out, those are based on what’s referred to as a “television program” called South Park. It might not be a videogame, but mercifully for my attention span, it does…
More quizzes! (Image credit: Larian Studios, PC Gamer) Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes. When I say Arc Raiders, the first things that probably pop into your mind are arcs and raiding. But a…
Weird Weekend Weird Weekend is our regular Saturday column where we celebrate PC gaming oddities: peculiar games, strange bits of trivia, forgotten history. Pop back every weekend to find out what Jeremy, Josh and Rick have become obsessed with this time, whether it’s the canon height of Thief’s Garrett or that time someone in the…
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is Mario Kart’s far more chaotic, perpetually drunk uncle, but it’s also perhaps the closest we’ll ever get to Nintendo’s flagship racer on our humble PCs. It’s gimmicky and goofy as all hell. Rings fly as I crash and careen into other racers, dodging items takes far more knack than holding a…
Although MindsEye only released five months ago, it somehow feels like a century since it burst forward from the starting line, smacked its head off the first hurdle and was driven away comatose in an ambulance that then exploded. Build A Rocket Boy’s third-person action adventure/reconstituted metaverse was plainly unfinished when it stumbled onto Steam,…
As I discussed in exuberant detail last weekend, Sektori is one of my favourite video games of 2025. The vast majority of people who play this Geometry Wars-inspired roguelike love it too, as its 97% positive Steam rating attests. But Steam’s rapidly revolving release tombola means that making a great game is no guarantee of…
Core, blimey! Publisher Fireshine Games and developer Pugstorm dazzled us with the gorgeous survival sandbox game Core Keeper back in September last year, and today they have announced that more is on the way in the shape of a swanky new Switch 2 Edition. Arriving on 28th January, you can expect this one to feature…
The end of The Long Dark is nigh. After more than ten years in development and seven years working on its controversial story mode, Wintermute, the climactic episode is in the final stages of production. However, those stages aren’t quite as final as developer Hinterland Studio would like, so they’ve announced the episode won’t arrive…
Psst, pass it on: A lot of Cyber Monday PC gaming deals are just renamed Black Friday deals—not that this makes them lesser deals, mind. In fact, it’s actually been quite surprising to see how many of the deals have stuck around since dropping well before Black Friday week started. Though, fingers crossed, there might…
