It already felt weird and wonderful to say that PC Gamer has reviewed Metal Gear Solid 4, a game for the personal computer. Now it gets even weirder: MGS4 mods are incoming, with TriggerHappy on YouTube already showing off a custom map in Kojima’s 2008 stealth-action classic. Back in 2021, modder Jayveer showed off a…
On September 5, Rebel Wolves took to Twitter on the official Blood of Dawnwalker account to announce that the dark vampire RPG had already surpassed one million copies sold just three days after its September 2 launch. “Thank you for playing, sharing, supporting, and being part of the community,” the developer wrote in its celebratory…
In a Gamescom interview with IGN, Saber CCO and former id Software dev Tim Willits said that the company’s upcoming Space Marine follow-up is not using generative AI in its development. The studio has otherwise been embracing the technology, which was at the heart of the recent Rideshare Stimulator controversy. “There is absolutely no generative…
AI in gamedev is about as hot as hot topics get—the tech is polarizing for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is its environmental impact. The data centers AI relies on come with grave heat and water use concerns at a time when our species’ ecological footprint is already leaning toward the…
You know, I do a lot of prattling about videogame music at this humble website PC Gamer dot com. It’s practically woven into the fabric of my very being at this point—hugely formative for me growing up, and now I carry little bits of it everywhere. I have half a dozen VGM playlists dedicated to…
Like a lot of survival games, Stalker 2 had a long journey from janky larva to playable, easily recommended butterfly. It’s tempting to say that these games ought to just stay under wraps until they’re done and relatively bug-free—but at Gamescom 2026, GSC Game World CEO and head of game direction Ievgen Grygorovych told PC…
If you’ve seen any slasher flick, you know the drill: every youth is horny, and the horny must die. Despite Halloween not being quite as trope-riddled as some of its stabbiest contemporaries, its recent asymmetrical PvP adaptation did include a minigame where two players could slip into a closet and bang each other for buffs—but…
Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a little biased towards parry-based action games. Sekiro will forever be my favourite FromSoftware game because of just how excellently it captured the back-and-forth feeling of swordplay, not only with its timed deflection mechanic, but its mandate to have you keep the pressure on. But I…
I stand knee deep in a pool of blood. My coworkers, comrades, and friends reduced to food for soulless seagulls. Give a man a fish and he may throw it into the mouth of a weary fisherman, teach a man to fish and he shall bring forth the wrath of a spider crab who knows…
Immersive sims like Deus Ex and Dishonored are among the hardest kinds of games to make, so I always try to be supportive when an indie developer takes on the absurd challenge of creating one. Yet while there have been some good examples in recent years like Skin Deep and New Blood’s early access Thief-like…
