All hail Styx. Or actually, don’t: I loathe Styx, but I quite like the games he features in. Styx is a sneering, diminutive goblin with a toxic personality, and while he lacks charm he’s very good at sneaking unseen through giant stealth sandboxes. A real run-of-the-mill asshole, then. After two decent stealth outings, Styx is…
Everyone wants to talk about whether Monster Hunter Wilds is “too hard” or made the series “too streamlined” but I say damn your difficulty discourse. The real difficulty curve in Monster Hunter has nothing to do with whacking big lizards—which is probably going to get harder later anyhow—and has everything to do with its shambling…
Look, I’ll be the first to admit it: I didn’t think Robocop: Rogue City looked very good when I first laid eyes on it in 2023. And I apologize for nothing, because I still don’t. But in a classic case of what do I know, it was a pretty big hit, drawing a “very positive”…

PC Gamer medieval life enthusiast and one-man style council Joshua Wolens is very excited about the upcoming Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 patch for two reasons: It will either kill him in the crib, or grant him the opportunity to get a very sexy haircut. But Warhorse Studios’ global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling says that’s just…
The Dark and Darker saga has taken yet another strange twist, as the game has once again been removed from sale—this time from the Epic Games Store. Making the situation even stranger, while the base game has been taken down, the Legendary Status upgrade, which adds a range of paid options and bonuses to free…
Nacon has some form when it comes to racing games. While it might not be the first company you think of when it comes to virtual rubber meeting virtual road, its KT Racing studio is behind games like TT Isle of Man, WRC Generations, and the long-running Test Drive Unlimited series. Nacon has never made…
In the last two years, two of the most anticipated RPGs of all time launched on PC. Legendary developer Bethesda presented us with an entire new galaxy to explore in Starfield, its first brand new franchise in over 25 years. And the equally iconic BioWare brought us Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a game 10 years…
Here’s one for you: when is a ‘body in a box’ not as macabre as it sounds? Simple—when it’s a tech startup. Wait! Put the turn-of-the-millennium trench coat and sunglasses combo down! Let me explain.
