Gear of the Year (Image credit: Future) Check out more of the year’s best tech in our PC Gamer Hardware Awards 2024 coverage. I have just bought (or more accurately, my partner has allowed me to buy) a Meta Quest 3. That’s because after playing Asgard’s Wrath during the holidays last year I’d wanted to…
What a violent year Helldivers 2 has had. The unexpected hit shooter released way back in February, but the galactic war at the center of its narrative doesn’t feel like it’s been raging for ten whole months. Time flies when you’re having fun exterminating bugs. To commemorate Helldivers 2’s mostly incredible year, I’ve recorded an…

Joshua Wolens, News Writer: This might sound odd, but what I most love about Stalker 2 is how Stalker it is: how far it goes—even in dolled-up 2024…

Break out the lute, because Manor Lords was our favourite city builder of the year. For more awards, check out our Game of the Year 2024 hub. Elie Gould, News Writer: Manor Lords came out at just the right time for me. Before landing on this medieval city builder/management game, I played quite a few…
There’s a funny thing about monitors. As you progress, from a 14-inch CRT goldfish bowl to a 17-inch screen you can barely lift, to a 19-inch 4:3 LCD, to a 21-inch 16:9 1080p VA model to a 27-inch 4K IPS and eventually a 32-inch 4K with HDR or an OLED, the ‘normal’ setting in your…
