At EVE Fanfest PC Gamer had the chance to sit down with EVE Online’s game director Snorri Árnason, for a wide-ranging conversation about where the game has been in recent years and where it’s going. We began by talking about Dust 514 in the context of the upcoming EVE Vanguard, with Árnason lamenting that the…
There really is no RPG quite like Dragon’s Dogma. It’s a big, weird, wonderful, terrifying, enthralling mess of an adventure that demands you meet it on its own bizarre terms, or else get savaged by wolves in the middle of the night. Heading into my hands-on with Dragon’s Dogma 2, my biggest fear was that…
Bethesda is known for making big, blockbuster RPGs—but Starfield‘s space combat was a totally new frontier for the team. I’ve personally found a decent bit of fun in zipping around and knocking pirates out of the sky, even if it’s clearly not the game’s main focus. I don’t envy the devs saddled with the task…
Your Windows registry is not the sort of place you want game code to be constantly adding a whole bunch of unnecessary data to, but that’s exactly what Kerbal Space Program 2 has been doing. Presumably since it launched into Early Access, too. KSP2 cannot catch a break. It was one of the poster children…
On September 19, 2013, a little bit of my childhood died when Disney’s Toontown Online closed down. It was a bizarre concept for a game: An MMO for children, where cartoon animals pranced around vaguely Disney-themed zones taking down big corporations with water guns and anvils summoned from the sky. Toontown’s inception can actually be…
Final Fantasy 14 is a long RPG. Well, long feels like an understatement—it’s actually five very long RPGs stuffed inside each other, like some kind of game turducken. Even if you aren’t distracted by all the little MMO bells and whistles—player housing, glamour hunting, fishing—you’re still gonna be there a while. Sentiments are cooling on…
At TGS last week, Capcom president and CESA chairman Haruhiro Tsujimoto reignited everyone’s favourite discourse subject: the price of games. As Nikkei (via Switchsoku) reports, Tsujimoto was discussing the topic of rising development costs, where he claimed that “game prices are too low”. While games from a lot of major publishers have become more expensive…
There was a time when I thought a 1TB SSD would see me right for storage for years. Oh, how naïve I was. Our desire for high resolution games that have mega-detailed textures, and mind-bogglingly intricate models out of the wazoo, ensures we’re always looking for another spare byte on our PC to store them…

Baldur’s Gate 3 is excellent. Historically excellent, in fact, but it’s not without its flaws. The first of these, of course, is that Astarion was not voiced with Neil Newbon’s original Brummie accent, but the game’s awkward inventory system is a close-run second. I don’t know about you, but I probably spent at least a…
