‘Community-based relay game’ isn’t something I’d immediately associate with Grand Theft Auto. It’s just not very gangster, is it? It hardly evokes Trevor Phillips forcibly removing a hostage’s teeth with pliers, nor does it reflect Niko Belic delivering harvested organs to the Black Market. When I think of the wider GTA timeline, I picture Tommy…

It’s been a long road for enjoyers of Deltarune, the follow-up to EarthBoundy RPG masterclass Undertale. Four of the game’s chapters have been released since 2018, and the fifth is closer than ever; Toby Fox took to Bluesky last week to share some details on where it’s at. The professional testers are familiarizing themselves with…

I love an RPG, man, and going through my Steam Library, I realized a ton of my all-timers are on sale for pennies. Way more than 20, but I don’t make a modest-yet-comfortable middle class income for world beater advice like “You should buy The Witcher 3 on sale.” Ditto for stuff like Mass Effect:…

Dungeon Master Welcome to Dungeon Master, PC Gamer’s regular RPG column, where Online Editor Fraser Brown (and guests) delves into PC gaming’s most beloved and enduring genre.

It’s easy to take for granted the cute little drawings and animations that introduce each themed Steam sale. In an age where it’s hard enough getting consistent AI use disclosure on our digital storefronts, it’s nice to see something clearly handcrafted—even if it beckons me to blow my whole paycheck. If you’ve been following Steam…

Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMORPG 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. World…

Pop back every weekend to find out what Jeremy, Josh and Rick have become obsessed with this time, whether it’s the canon height of Thief’s Garrett or that time someone in the…

We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes. Of all the digital wonders in gaming, I think it’s still hard to beat an open world. Sure, pitches like…

I was a little surprised to discover that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is one of Steam’s most wishlisted gamed. Naturally, I’d assumed there must be a fanbase for this prequel from developer Unfrozen and publisher Hooded Horse, otherwise they wouldn’t make it. But I’d severely underestimated just how ravenous strategy fans are…

It sure is a good time to be a fan of ye-olde FPS Blood. Following Nightdive’s release of its second overhaul of Monolith’s debut gunfest, the developer has been quietly updating it with enhanced versions of some of the shooter’s best mods. The first of these arrived in January, in the form of Marrow: Episode…
