Dave the Diver is one of PC Gamer’s favourite games of 2023, no small feat in a year as crammed with great releases as this one has been. In his review from July, Chris called it “easily the best game of 2023” saying “When I finished the final boss at 35 hours in, I felt…
I love hearing about all the little bits of developer weirdness that go into making games—cursed rain orbs, hidden centrifuges, and, most recently, the revelation that Grand Theft Auto 3’s weird moon sniping easter egg was due to an unresolved dispute between artists. That last one’s thanks to a dev blog by Rockstar North’s former…
“Unemployed man” Hideki Kamiya continues to update his YouTube channel in the wake of his departure from Platinum, keeping the world at large updated on what he’s been cooking, his opinions on onsen, and the last time he visited an aquarium. All of which is a treat, but Kamiya has been chatting about a few…
November is a time for looking back at the past, whether that’s through Bonfire Night, Thanksgiving, or in a more recent tradition, randomly patching up old-ass games. Last week, Valve were patching decades-old bugs in Half-Life as part of the game’s 25’th anniversary celebrations. Now Star Wars: Empire at War is getting 64-bit support, 17…

To cast aside the aged moniker of “RPG”, whatever that means, and to transform into the helter-skelter, thrill-a-minute Call of Duty-like it was always meant to be. Well, some dreams cannot be denied. Thanks to the…
It’s been yet another rollercoaster week for Embracer’s beleaguered remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which was “delayed indefinitely” last year after Texan studio Aspyr Media was relieved of development duties. On Friday, reports emerged that Embracer’s boss had refused comment on the fate of the game, stating with exquisite irony “I…

Black Friday is upon us in full force, and that means pretty much every digital storefront you care to name is having a big sale. The Epic Games Store is no exception, and for Black Friday it’s once again brought back the Epic Coupon, which applies an automatic discount to every purchase you make. And…
Just the words “city builder” are enough to get my attention. Tack on “grand strategy”—as in you not only build a city but clash with a larger world using military and economic strategies—and I’m even more interested. Throw in an alt-history World War 1 and World War 2 setting, and yes. Yes, I am definitely…
