Fine, I’ll say it. The Tropics has always been my least favourite biome in Peak. I hate the exploding mushrooms that always send me hurtling off the mountain, and the fact that everything can and will poison you. Not to mention the ticks. Luckily, a new biome is rolling out this week on November 5,…

The Fast and the Furious has a lot to answer for, not least the early 2000s fad for street-racing games drenched in bad boy imagery. Street Racing Syndicate, with its trailer declaring “Get wheels, get women” is a contender the most egregiously 2004 thing ever to exist. Street Racing Syndicate arrived on PC a year…
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection should have been an easy win. It bundles together the first four Mortal Kombat games, including the WaveNet version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 previously thought lost, as well as less fondly remembered spin-offs like Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero for the sake of completeness and the memes. It also comes with…
The newest Path of Exile season, or league, is a great example of why you should never look at how other players are faring in a loot-based action RPG. Once you see what life is like when the RNG gods are generous, all you will know is pure envy. A handful of lucky players are…
The poor servers trying to keep up with the influx of players logging into Arc Raiders are starting to buckle. Many players, including PC Gamer’s own Morgan Park, are reporting matchmaking errors and queue times just as the extraction shooter hit just over 330,000 concurrent players on Steam. Considering it’s on consoles and other storefronts…
It’s official: It’s totally fair game to blame your graphics settings when you get sniped out of nowhere in Arc Raiders. You can blame it on the bushes that failed to hide your position against players who have found out that your graphics settings can be a slight competitive advantage. It wasn’t that you were…

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. Alright,…
Soundtrack Sunday Welcome to Soundtrack Sunday, where a member of the PC Gamer team takes a look at a soundtrack from one of their favourite games—or a broader look at videogame music as a whole—offering their thoughts or asking for yours! You’ve collected every coin. Done every side quest. Spoken to every single NPC. S-ranked…
Cosplay is still a bit of an unknown world to me, but it’s one I’d love to be more involved with. I’ve only ever cosplayed once, really—aside from the odd Halloween costume which I know doesn’t really count—but that doesn’t mean I don’t try to stay as in the loop as possible. I’ve always been…
