Is there a maximum number of times you can replay Baldur’s Gate 3 and still have a good time? We haven’t found the number yet, but don’t worry if you have. There’s one more way to get your fix of Shadowheart, Gale, Karlach, Wyll, and most of all Astarion, and it’s via the Baldur’s Village…
Speaking to Doom: The Dark Ages game director Hugo Martin and producer Marty Stratton for our Doom cover story in the upcoming issue 408 (396 in the US) of PC Gamer’s print magazine, the two had plenty to say about the FPS’ arsenal. “I think only the shotguns are the same,” Martin said of the…
My hometown has a soccer team now. I live in the United States, so this is kind of a big deal. It’s been a cool experience to have a local team, and has led to some really interesting experiences, such as watching the lovely yet bizarre spectacle of internationally ranked goalkeeper Roman Bürki stalwartly defending…
First reported by Polygon, two parents in the US are suing Epic Games over limited-time sales of Fortnite skins and cosmetics that they argue aren’t really limited time at all, creating a false sense of “FOMO”—a term actually used in the lawsuit—for Fortnite’s younger players. Like many in-game cosmetic storefronts, Fortnite will have daily or…
Speaking to Doom: The Dark Ages project director Hugo Martin and producer Marty Stratton for our upcoming print issue 408 (396 in the US), I had to ask about the Marauder. This infamous miniboss in Doom Eternal split the player base, with some loving its next-level challenge, while others decried it as an unwelcome difficulty…

I’ll admit, the whole-ass tenement that’s just landed in my lap is run down, disconnected from the mains, and filled with glowing green mushrooms. My new digs also might be located in the sealed off district where they…
What makes a good videogame death? Dramatic timing? Screenshot-worthy spectacle? Or maybe just getting devoured by a monster because having to type ‘AMPLE MINGE’ to attack it induced a helpless giggling fit. While not a laugh-a-minute experience, Blood Typers has been a very pleasant and frequently funny surprise—a co-op fusion of Typing Of The Dead’s…
Planet Coaster 2 may have endured some ups and downs when it launched back in October, but Frontier Developments’ post-release support for its theme-park building sequel has been as steady as a lazy river. January brought improved flume simulation to the sequel’s all-new waterslides, while February added video billboards players can create their own custom…
Pac-Man is 45 years old in 2025, and series owner Bandai Namco has a big old shindig planned to distract the ravenous yellow circle from the slowly encroaching spectre of death. The publisher has outlined a ‘year-long celebration’ to commemorate Pac-Man’s anniversary, hosting numerous events around the world and, er, releasing a cookbook. According to…
Ara: History Untold was a decent attempt by Microsoft to snatch some strategic territory from Firaxis’ Civilization series, but all its sabre-rattling didn’t seem to come to much when it launched last September.
