Just the words “city builder” are enough to get my attention. Tack on “grand strategy”—as in you not only build a city but clash with a larger world using military and economic strategies—and I’m even more interested. Throw in an alt-history World War 1 and World War 2 setting, and yes. Yes, I am definitely…
A new patch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now live on Steam, making dozens of bug fixes and a number of quality-of-life changes, including the long-overdue ability to use the arrow keys instead of WASD for movement. This might sound like a relatively small thing, but for some people it’s a big deal. The…
How does it hold up? Given the improved specs in the recently released Switch 2, it’s not entirely surprising that the system’s battery can’t quite keep up with its predecessor’s (though with the increased size, one has to imagine that Nintendo could stuff a bigger one in there). But just how good / bad is…
Things have been a little quiet for Overwatch 2 over the last couple of months. Despite having its 14th season, releasing new Mythic weapon and hero skins, and hosting a couple of 6v6 tests, it hasn’t really been able to compete with the hype surrounding Marvel Rivals. But apparently, Blizzard has an ace up its…
The gaming laptop space is complex. It’s full of different specs and price points and brand names, and it can be tough to see where a new machine fits in all this. And when Lenovo first announced its LOQ range of affordable laptops I figured it would all be pretty straightforward. Where the Legion machines…
Switch 2, anyone? If you’d have told us five years ago that Batman: Arkham Knight would make its way to the Nintendo Switch, we would have laughed in your face and waddled off back to the Iceberg Lounge. Alas, alongside its predecessors, Arkham Knight arrived on Switch in December 2023, and though it wasn’t particularly…
Hey Xbox Insiders! We have a new Xbox Update Preview releasing to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring today. It’s important we note that some updates made to these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox consoles. We will continue to post these release notes, even when the noticeable…
Two things I believe to be true are: One—given the success of last year’s Oblivion remaster, remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are all-but assured. Two—they probably won’t drop any time soon. Oblivion is not even a year behind us (though given its last patch was in July and Bethesda seems to have…
No more civ swapping. Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is getting a huge free update on 19th May, which reintroduces a series-staple mechanic: playing as the same civilization for every Age transition. The Test of Time update has been in beta for a few months now, but the full release will be coming to all platforms…
I love a good fishing game, which may be a controversial opinion for the PC Gamer team, but I stand by my convictions. Fishing is a nice, calming experience that gives me a desperately needed break from my regular horrifying and brutal games. But sometimes fishing with Willie in Stardew Valley doesn’t quite cut it,…
