Sticks, be gone. As per rumours, AYANEO has refreshed its excellent Pocket Micro handheld in the form of the Pocket Micro Classic (thanks, Retro Dodo). The big change here is that the Android-based device does away with the dual analogue sticks and reduces the price to $179—$20 cheaper than the original model, and comfortably the…
More quizzes! (Image credit: Larian Studios, PC Gamer) Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.

Double, double, toil and trouble…. Looking as if it’s been torn straight out of an alchemist’s journal, Potion Craft is a gorgeous simulation game that’s sure to appeal to the mystically inclined, although — oddly — it feels like a bad fit on Switch. Arriving on Nintendo’s console one year after its PC and Xbox…
Best deals and cheapest prices. One of the Switch 1 games being treated to a beefed up ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Edition’ release is the now catchily-titled Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV. This one will arrive on the new console on 24th July 2025 as both a stand-alone purchase…
If you thought the Raspberry Pi’s chip was dinky, well, get a load of the nattily named Texas Instruments MSPM0C1104, said to the world’s smallest microcontroller or MCU and measuring a mere 1.38 mm².

History is littered with defeated Civilization-likes, from Humankind to Old World. Try as they might, no one’s knocked old Sid Meier off his perch just yet, even six games in and 27 years on. But that doesn’t mean devs will stop trying. Enter Millennia, a new 4X strategy game from C Prompt published by Paradox…
As Sony continues to loosen its grip on its big library of exclusives, it looks like a classic PS4 horror game might be making its way over to PC: Until Dawn. Supermassive’s cinematic slasher romp launched on the console back in 2015, and its success spawned a whole bunch of similarly structured games from the…
Congratulations, you have survived the end of the world. Set 30 years after the original game, Frostpunk 2 puts you in charge of a city no longer battling for its very life. To be clear, the outlook still isn’t sunny. The world outside your city is still frozen and harsh. It’s still possible to die…
I can’t remember ever liking the sound of the phrase “active attacks”, least of all when it’s concerning software used by governments. Something about it just rings stomach-droppingly scary, but that might just be me. So, kindly share some mild terror with me as I pass on the message that was generously passed on to…
The Ayaneo Next II, a Windows-based handheld gaming PC, has been officially revealed—and it’s every bit as beefy as its announcement back in July suggested. The jewel in its hardware crown is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, a decidedly power-hungry chip that is sated by a whopping 115 Wh battery. This ain’t no teeny…
