The newly announced AETHUS is a sci-fi survival game all about doing things differently, set on an alien planet ravaged by a mega corporation. The hook here is in carving your own path through the capitalist wreckage, building a different world, and forging a new kind of future. The planet has been exploited by the…
Dune: Awakening’s 1.1.0.15 patch makes a couple of notable changes to PvP, including a fix for the notorious goomba stomp meta where players were squishing each other with ornithopters. How did that work? Well, since players realized that ‘thopters take no damage from collisions with the environment, there was zero risk in repeatedly slamming the…
The PC Gamer hardware team has 60+ years of collective PC hardware-testing experience, and I’ve personally been at this for 20 years now. So, in our time we’ve had our hands on just about every important piece of tech that’s been released for our favourite gaming platform. And I think that puts us in a…
This feels like a weird nostalgia pull for a PC gaming site, but think back to the first time you really struggled in a Pokémon game—I bet the bleating of your caught companion’s dwindling health bar still makes your palms sweat. Well, it turns out Gemini starts to make questionable choices when its Pokémon team…
The Das Keyboard DeltaForce 65 is probably one of the most long-awaited keyboards in my possession. No, that isn’t a joke—I’ve been waiting to get my hands on it for the best part of a year since its initial announcement. Therefore, it comes with quite high expectations, and for good reason, too. Das has been…
When Doom: The Dark Ages launched back in May, developers id Software promised that it would add an extra graphics option in a later patch, specifically path tracing. The stompy-stompy shooter uses ‘normal’ ray tracing for all lighting, shadows, and reflections by default, and now that I’ve had a few days to explore the new…
It’s been about half a year since NetEase gave Storm a massive touch-up in Marvel Rivals. A somewhat temporary fix to players not touching the X-Men hero in Season 0, when Season 1 came around the devs simply made her too strong to resist. As part of these changes, Storm’s damage capability was increased, alongside…
Sleeper builds will have a place in my home at some point, I swear it (if I keep saying it, it’ll happen, right?). There’s just something about the combined retro nostalgia of a knackered ’90s PC combined with actual modern-day gaming chops. For all who feel the same, get a load of TME Retro’s resuscitated…
So, Microsoft has announced it’s teaming up with—or maybe that should be sticking with—AMD for its next generation of Xbox hardware. But what does that actually mean for conventional Xbox consoles and the new trend of handhelds? Perhaps the key line from Xbox President Sarah Bond in the YouTube video announcement goes thus: “We’ve established…
For quite some time now I have been hearing rumors; scattershot whispers, in hushed tones. The Digimon Story games, they’ve been saying, are good. Subtitles like Cyber Sleuth would crop up in lists and recommendations from good friends, but I would always brush them off a bit. It’s Digimon—surely nostalgia was the driving force of…
