Travel to a “a futuristic world of high-rolling hi-jinx and golf courses.”. While the Sega Dreamcast was inevitably home to a bunch of different genres, everything from action to horror to sports, we can’t help but associate it most fondly today with games like Sonic Adventure, Space Channel 5, and Jet Set Radio — titles…
Working out how to dispatch the Howling Hill expansion in Crimson Desert is rather tricky. For the longest time, I didn’t even realise you could inspect areas on the map, revealing mission lists that you can undertake with your Greymane Freeswords—it’s especially unclear on mouse and keyboard. You’ll finally have to come to grips with…
After working on Ontos for over a decade, it is incredibly exciting to take a deep dive into the gameplay. Ontos is a spiritual successor to Soma, posing deep philosophical questions to players.

A few weeks ago, I sat down with GOG managing director Maciej Gołębiewski and new owner (and original co-founder) Michał Kiciński to chat about the venerable storefront’s future without CD Projekt. One of the ideas it was batting about? Checking out this whole Linux thing, since quite a few people seem to be jumping ship…
Black Ops 7 largely doesn’t aim to reinvent the Call of Duty wheel. In many ways, it’s bringing together the best of Black Ops 6, 3, and 2, and stirring it in one giant pot to produce yet another potent brew that’ll have me grinding Mastery camos once again. But in a year where Call…
When PC Gamer goes into hibernation over the holidays, we’ll be leaving you with the traditional treat of our GOTY awards. Through our exhaustive deliberations we’ve picked out a cracking set of games, but I’ve gotta admit: it was incredibly hard this time.
