One Elite Dangerous fan scavenged parts from multiple VR roller coaster rides to craft the ultimate space faring sim rig, so I hailed him to find out more

Pragmata’s devs urge players to test out the demo beforehand to figure out whether controller or mouse and keyboard is best for them: ‘There are some people who find keyboard and mouse too tricky’

When I joined PC Gamer, my life changed significantly. I set fire to my PS5 and took an axe to my Switch, but one thing I couldn’t bear to get rid of were all of my controllers. I don’t often use them while playing on PC, but they sure do come in handy from time…
