Skyrim’s got a lot of NPCs. Thing is, most of ’em are dolts. They don’t have any kind of distinct personality or routine, and sometimes do the dumbest stuff imaginable. I’ll never forget the time a dragon flew down to attack me near a settlement, destroying some fencing in the process, and the entire town…
Shuttered Away. In OPUS: Prism Peak, Eugene blames himself for everything. When he remembers his past, he focuses on his regrets, the big moments. The fights between his parents. His failed photography career. His collapsed marriage. His unsuccessful cafe. In his eyes, all of these letdowns are because of him, and as a result, he’s…
To paraphrase some lyrics from my mispent youth pining for a Hot Topic, ‘this ain’t a scene, it’s a goddamn AI arms race’. The preview of DeepSeek V4 is now live, and given that the AI giant was reportedly not so keen to grant Nvidia and AMD early access to the new model, the American…
Larian has some big aspirations for its next RPG, Divinity, which it hopes will surpass even the mighty Baldur’s Gate 3. It will be “even larger” than BG3, with “deeper sequences of consequence,” more interesting fail states, better character customization, and even more natural and complex NPC relationships.

This is one of those images. My dear colleague Jacob Fox directed me to the r/pcmasterrace subreddit this morning, so that I may behold what he…
Just last week, Night Street Games, an indie studio founded by Imagine Dragons’ lead singer and manager Dan and Mac Reynolds, released Last Flag. It’s a 5v5 multiplayer shooter built exclusively around the iconic capture the flag game mode, a favourite of the Reynolds brothers. I’ve not played it, but it’s got positive reviews on…
Tifa Lockhart might be a Final Fantasy 7 character first and foremost, but another community has been wishing for her presence for a hot sec now: the Tekken community. I always used to associate guest characters with Soulcalibur’s zanier choices like Yoda, Ezio, and our very own PC Gamer mascot Geralt of Rivia. But other…
One thing that really impressed me with our running RPG of the year, Esoteric Ebb, is how it handles failure and save scumming, the practice of abusing a game’s save/load feature just to get your desired result at every turn—we all do it, at least sometimes, and we all feel guilty about it. Save scumming…
