More quizzes! (Image credit: Larian Studios, PC Gamer) Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes. OK, I admit it: I played a ton of XCOM 2 again over the holiday break and now I can’t…

Remember Styx? Cyanide Studios’ horrible goblin was the hottest stealth game protagonist of the early 2010s. By this I mean he was the only stealth game protagonist of the early 2010s, as bona-fide sneaking games were vanishingly rare. Then Hitman returned from the dead, and everybody forgot about Styx for a while. But the fast-talking,…

Isometric mech sim Brigador is 10 years old this year—a fact that kicked me right in the mortality given that I was certain it only came out a few years ago. The original version of Stellar Jockeys’ shoot ’em up was a decent, if flawed affair. But the developer spent the next year overhauling the…

I already feel like I’m trapped in the middle of a game called Earth Must Die, one where the rules make no sense and I have zero control over how it’s all going to end. Perhaps that’s why I’m excited for the latest comedy adventure of the same name from Size Five Games, which has…

The claim does not appear to be true. I have reached out to Discord for comment, and will update…

The Steam page for Forbidden Solitaire warns you to uninstall it “before it’s too late.” I saw this a few moments after closing the demo that just dropped today, so it’s possible my PC is now haunted by unimaginable horrors. But as a Windows user in 2026, I’ve probably seen worse, so I’m just going…

Just a few days after the massively popular Fortnite game Steal the Brainrot took advantage of a rules change to roll out paid wheel-spins for prizes—gambling, in other words—Epic has announced another incoming rule change that seems pretty directly aimed at putting a stop to it. The new rule was announced on X and the…
