In less than two weeks, The Sims is finally getting some much-needed competition: Inzoi’s launching into early access on March 28. For those who are already foaming at the mouth at the prospect of a more realistic life sim, though, good news. Krafton is giving folk the chance to dive into a couple of its…
Undertale was, for me, at least, the defining game of the indie RPG genre back when it came out in 2015. Far from just its ubiquity on social media, I remember this thing blowing my mind in ways that, nowadays, feel almost a little pedestrian. That’s not to knock it in retrospect—it’s still rather very…
I know a guy whose only game is Age of Empires 2. He’s been playing it for about 25 years. He doesn’t have a gaming PC, doesn’t have a wider interest in gaming, and when I once mentioned Age of Empires 3 he said “oh yeah I heard they made another one” and that was…
I confess, dear reader, I was a little confused by the concept of Life Is Strange: Double Exposure from the get-go. As PC Gamer’s own Mollie Taylor said during a preview, “remind me to never become besties with Max Caulfield, lest I end up dead in a ditch somewhere.” Retreading the same ‘best friend dead’…
Sometimes I rue my position as the PC Gamer hardware team honorary weirdo. Because while I’m naturally drawn to the unusual, the interesting, and the downright bizarre, it means I sometimes have to write about bits of tech that gross me out—and this VR-ready electronic tongue is doing just that. A team of researchers at…
REPO is the newest co-op horror game to take on Lethal Company. Both games pit a crew of players against dangerous monsters in confusing maps as they try to collect as much loot as possible, but despite this competition, Lethal Company’s creator, Zeekerss, only has helpful advice for the devs over at Semiwork. “REPO is…
This thing is a monster. Obviously in the same way the RTX 5090 Founders Edition is a monster in terms of raw performance; we are still talking about the most powerful consumer GPU available to humankind after all. But more than that, the MSI RTX 5090 Suprim is probably the biggest graphics card I’ve ever…
Discord has a permanent spot in most of our taskbars, but even those who haven’t accepted the ubiquitous chat app into their lives may soon be using its services directly in the games they play (or possibly already are). Today, the company is launching the Discord Social SDK. It’s a free way for game developers…
A long time ago (September 2021) in a galaxy far, far away (a PlayStation Showcase) the mad lads at Aspyr announced they were remaking Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare’s brilliant Star Wars RPG from 2003. Which probably wasn’t a great idea, because the project has spent the entire four years since then falling down…
As a writer who takes pride in, y’know, writing his own work, I don’t have a whole lot of use for Microsoft Copilot. Sure, if you need an unimportant document summarising it’s probably pretty handy, but Microsoft’s big push for an AI PC, Copilot-always-available future has left me rather cold. It seems a new Windows…
