XCOM: Chimera Squad was announced less than two weeks before it was released, and then was sold for an introductory price of $10. You’d think that would garner it some goodwill—given how often people complain about games being hyped up years ahead of release, looking at you Elder Scrolls 6—but instead it seemed to give…
Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMO column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. There’s…
I don’t have children, but if I did, I’d probably love them less than I love Deadlock, Valve’s work-in-progress MOBA shooter. It might be unfinished, but its anarchic invite-only test has served up better live service than most live service games with its constant reinvention—a habit Deadlock’s carried into 2026 with the massive update released…
I’m a huge fan of turn-based tactics, but I can recognise why many people see it as an intimidating genre. Between complicated mechanics, detailed unit stats, and lengthy missions, they can feel like a big investment of time and energy. Heading into new roguelike Blightstone, just launched this week in Steam early access, I was…
Wednesday, Ubisoft announced a “major reset” of its organizational hierarchy and game development plans that CEO Yves Guillemot said would foster “the conditions for a return to sustainable growth.” That included a fundamental shakeup to its internal studio structure, the cancellation of six projects including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, and…

I was intrigued by deckbuilding card battler The Killing Stone when it was revealed during last year’s Gamescom, but I didn’t expect to be playing the latest game from former Bioshock bods Question quite so soon. But a new trailer reveals that The Killing Stone will be ready for business next month, and I’m beginning…
Late last year, Nightdive Studios released Blood: Refreshed Supply, its second remaster of Monolith Productions’ brilliant FPS debut. For PC gamers with one Blood remaster already in their Steam library, the highlight of the package wasn’t anything technical—it was the addition of the concluding part of one of Blood’s best mods. That mod is Marrow,…
Bloodborne on PC may still be the fevered dream of madmen, though some emulation warlocks have recently made strides bringing the nightmare to gaming’s liquid-cooled Mensis cage. In any case, numerous game developers have strived to fill the PC’s Yharnam-shaped game with their own derivations of FromSoft’s Victorian gothic masterpiece. Some of these are fun,…
