Last week I wrote about a particular bug in Stalker 2 and how similar it was to a bug I encountered in Stalker: Call of Pripyat way back in 2010. I wasn’t mad about it: it gave me a warm fuzzy “some things never change” feeling you might have for a quirky old car whose…
My experience playing Avowed when it launches in February will be very different from yours. Maybe that sounds obvious—it’s an Obsidian RPG, after all, with quest and dialogue choices even in the first couple hours that seem likely to echo throughout the journey. That’s to be expected.

Scattered throughout Stalker 2’s open world, you’ll find many, many weapons. Most are in rough condition and in need of repair, or come barebones with no attachments equipped. However, there are some unique weapons hidden throughout The Zone that are kitted out with several attachments that make them more effective in combat. While these aren’t…
We test a lot of components at PC Gamer. We’re often swapping GPUs, CPUs, SSDs and RAM between test rigs to find out whether they’re worth your cash. Yet an important question to ask yourself when digging into the data is: “what’s it like to actually build a PC with this stuff?” To answer that,…
League of Legends developer Riot has released details on what to expect from the first season of 2025, and there’s a lot to unpack. The first season will present a new map design, the trial of a new game mode, and a huge change to how often your rank resets, which I know the majority…
