Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection should have been an easy win. It bundles together the first four Mortal Kombat games, including the WaveNet version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 previously thought lost, as well as less fondly remembered spin-offs like Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero for the sake of completeness and the memes. It also comes with…
The newest Path of Exile season, or league, is a great example of why you should never look at how other players are faring in a loot-based action RPG. Once you see what life is like when the RNG gods are generous, all you will know is pure envy. A handful of lucky players are…
The poor servers trying to keep up with the influx of players logging into Arc Raiders are starting to buckle. Many players, including PC Gamer’s own Morgan Park, are reporting matchmaking errors and queue times just as the extraction shooter hit just over 330,000 concurrent players on Steam. Considering it’s on consoles and other storefronts…
It’s official: It’s totally fair game to blame your graphics settings when you get sniped out of nowhere in Arc Raiders. You can blame it on the bushes that failed to hide your position against players who have found out that your graphics settings can be a slight competitive advantage. It wasn’t that you were…

You’ve collected every coin. Done every side quest. Spoken to every single NPC. S-ranked…
Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMORPG 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. Alright,…
Cosplay is still a bit of an unknown world to me, but it’s one I’d love to be more involved with. I’ve only ever cosplayed once, really—aside from the odd Halloween costume which I know doesn’t really count—but that doesn’t mean I don’t try to stay as in the loop as possible. I’ve always been…
Florges? For Spring? Groudonbreaking. In the magazine business, the back page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”. We don’t have pages on…
Eggs! They’re the new gaming craze, baby. Forget roguelikes, or friendslop, or rogue friends, or sloplikes, eggs are the hottest they’ve been in the virtual realm since the days of Tamagotchi. Just how hot, you ask? Well, there are three egg-themed games launching within a week of each other. Which isn’t that many in the…
