Windows 8 debuted in 2012, introducing desktop users to the blocky Metro design language that had previously worked a treat on Windows Phones and Zunes.

Palworld’s 1.0 release is coming up soon. Well that could be wishful thinking: it’ll be available to play sometime this year.

Ask certain incredibly cool members of the PC Gamer team and they might even tell you it’s actually higher than that. But it’s also not a super difficult game—it’s fairly easy to assemble a party that…
I do not know what Massive Monster puts into Cult of the Lamb. You’d think after over 50 hours, completing the game, and doing absolutely everything possible, I’d get tired and move on. But no, as it turns out, I can never get enough of collecting and fighting little critters. So you can probably imagine…
