The zookeeping sim Planet Zoo launched six years ago today, and it was pretty good: “Another strong (yet stressful) management sim from Frontier Developments,” PC Gamer’s number one menagerie manager Chris Livingston declared in a 75% review. The studio released a six-year anniversary video to celebrate the birthday, which is usually the sort of thing…
As a reader of PC Gamer you’re already an expert when it comes to games—but what about the names of games? For instance, if you saw the words “The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Blood and Wine” would you be able to spot the missing colon and the missing dash? It should be “The Witcher 3:…
For the professional artist, sacrifice is a constant companion. Their work—however beautiful—has to fit a client’s needs or a project’s scope. Concept art of an octopus boss might not make it in-game if it’s too expensive to animate. The sickest knight design you’ve ever seen might get tossed because the creative director decided to move…
Matthew ‘Mizkif’ Rinaudo, one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, has filed a lawsuit against Emily ‘Emiru’ Schunk and Zack ‘Asmongold’ Hoyt alongside three media companies for defamation and breach of contract. As reported by KXAN, the suit follows allegations made against Mizkif by Emiru in which she accused him of “psychological and domestic…
Rewind the clock to 2006, and PC gaming was witnessing the launch of one of the most ambitious but ultimately flawed sci-fi FPS games ever—one that had been in development for a whopping 11 years. No, we’re not talking about Duke Nukem Forever, the game that would eventually launch after 14 years of development in…
OneXPlayer has priced up its epic new OneXFly Apex handheld gaming PC. And the fun starts at a slightly mind-boggling $1,599 when configured with AMD’s top Ryzen AI Max+ APU. Specifically, that’s the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the only version of AMD’s Strix Halo mobile APU that’s available with all 40 RDNA 3.5-spec graphics compute…
I’m a sucker for a strong progression system, and between account level unlocks, weapon levels, mastery camos, and assignments, Battlefield 6‘s got just that. The issue since launch is that the majority of the assignments have been so outlandishly demanding that they’re almost impossible to complete. This issue has only gotten worse since the release…
Last year, the European Space Agency and a game developer got a little satellite, orbiting Earth in space, to run Doom in real-time. The lure of doing something perfectly normal on terra firma in the utterly hostile environment of space is just the preserve of a handful of coders, though, as two companies are hoping…
An abandoned space-age facility may seem cool, but Spaceport is the most terrifying map for me in Arc Raiders, what with all the vulnerable open areas and tough Arcs lurking there. So when the A Lay of the Land mission sends you searching for LiDAR scanners with multiple quest steps to complete in a single…
In Counter-Strike 2, milliseconds matter. The tiniest time-slice can be the difference between virtual life and virtual death, so anything you can do to get bullets into braincases faster is likely to provide you an edge. Hence why CS2 lets players review their performance via demo playbacks. Yet because of the way the Internet works,…
