When having a computer at home became commonplace in the 1990s, an entire generation of kids immediately smuggled games onto them. “Look, this box can help do the taxes!” “Sure, dad, but it can also run Quest for Glory 2: Trial By Fire.” Games in genres that were perfect for a mouse-and-keyboard setup, like point-and-click…
When I first fired up the demo for Moves of the Diamond Hand, I rolled a character specializing in “Observation” and “Wit,” two skills I figured had to be good for the sort of talky, investigative RPG I’d clocked this as. “Cooking” had to be something like Deus Ex’s swimming skill—surely speccing into that would…
First reported by 80 Level, The Day Before studio Fntastic has reportedly sued Russian news site Yakutia.info, which is based in Fntastic’s founders’ home region of Yakutia in Siberia.

Throwback farming sim Fields of Mistria proved pretty darn popular when it launched into Steam early access late last year, with over 16,000 reviewers showering it with ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ praise. It was likewise well received in PC Gamer’s own little agrarian community, with associate editor Lauren Morton selecting it as her personal pick for 2024’s…
Doom 2016 is less than two dollars. Id’s superb reboot of its own 1993 FPS is currently available at a 90% discount thanks to Steam’s spring sale. With a current RRP of £15.99/$19.99 that discount brings the price down to £1.59 in the UK, or as I have already stated numerous times, less than two…
I felt like I knew a lot about Dune Awakening, having absorbed much of the survival MMO’s broader concepts via osmosis. I’d heard about its giant sandworms being their own masters, and its air-to-air ornithopter combat. But until about half an hour ago, I didn’t have a clear picture about how all those ideas came…

The benefit of creating stories involving the horrors of technology is you’ll really never run out of inspiration. All you’ve gotta do is use facial recognition to unlock your phone, close a few targeted ads, and read an AI-generated synopsis of the latest news stories served to you by an algorithm.
