Show me the frame rates! One of the biggest misses for me personally with the original Switch is that none of the more popular sports games of our time, and I mean these big EA and 2K efforts like Madden NFL 26 here, and the likes of FC 24 or 25, aren’t up to standard…
I was invited to a preview of The Elder Scrolls Online’s 10th anniversary Direct showcase earlier this week—and it looks like it’s pulling out all the stops. TESO has spent the last 10 years hopping from setting to setting, taking players on a world tour of Tamriel—to Morrowind, Elsweyr, Blackwood, Telvanni—you name it, players have…
Palworld is an edgy game—more in implication than reality. While it’s grown a reputation for a Happy Tree Friends-style subversiveness, everything in its world is pretty sanitised. For instance: Pals eat human cadavers, but they just peck at them until they vanish. The whole game feels like a send-up of Pokémon’s simmering ‘it’s messed up…
Sending you into the bustling Piazza Arbusto, the Life of a Pharmacist quest in Arc Raiders can be quite a daunting task. It sounds simple on paper; just examine four locations inside Arbusto Pharmacy, but it’s often an Arc and a raider hot-zone. You’ll no doubt have already experienced this firsthand in the A Reveal…
Vote! Welcome, cover fans, to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Before we head into this week’s match-up, let’s have a quick reminder of what went down last weekend.

When PC Gamer visited The Blood of Dawnwalker‘s developer, Rebel Wolves, for our upcoming, world-exclusive issue of PC Gamer magazine, we spoke directly to the much-anticipated ARPG’s design director, Daniel Sadowski, about its unique ‘time as a resource’ mechanic, and how it plays into the game’s wider narrative sandbox approach where gamers create their own…
Where Winds Meet, the wuxia-themed soulslite multiplayer ARPG, is more than a little popular with around 190,000 concurrent players on Steam as I write this. It’s also got more than a little of everybody’s favorite novel-but-ruinous technology, as some of its NPCs appear to be powered by LLM chatbots. That means you can converse with…
It’s fair to say that the release of Civilization 7 has not gone quite according to plan. It’s good but not great, and the resulting letdown—people expect big things from new Civ games—has manifested in a straight 50/50 split between positive and negative user ratings on Steam and concurrent player numbers that continue to lag…
