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…
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. MMORPGs…
I’ll be honest, I didn’t really think the live action Legend of Zelda movie would ever release when it was first announced in 2023.

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…
