PC Gamer's Reviews
We deserve better than Legacy of Kain: Ascendance.
Despite occasional stalls, this combination of tactics and talking has plush-leather depths worth sinking into.
Some of Blizzard's best work in years wrestles with bugs and design issues, but still comes out on top.
Prizing immersion and effort above all, this is a demanding, but very rewarding, RPG.
Marathon is a brilliant distillation of what makes an excellent extraction shooter, and a glimpse at where they could go next.
An immaculately presented arcade racer with a thousand good ideas, but the twin-stick drifting wasn't one of them.
Vast and obtuse in a way that is going to frustrate some and exhilarate others, Crimson Desert is a fascinating journey, even when the destination isn't all that.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 delivers deep build crafting and battle systems, but they're wasted on a war story that's barely there.
If you like RPGs, you owe it to yourself to play Esoteric Ebb.
A high-concept, fascinating strategy RPG that can start to buckle under its own ambitions.
Scott Pilgrim EX is a palatable fresh helping of retro beatdown goodness, but it's too brief and easygoing to deliver more fun than its inspirations or its best contemporaries.
Resident Evil Requiem sets itself out with a hard task: wrapping all the best elements of previous Resident Evil games into one. Miraculously it succeeds, with very few moments which left me wanting more.
A casual timewaster for people who are into the Witcher enough to get the references, but not married to the idea every Witcher game has to be a big RPG.
Nine years in the making, Cyanide has expanded Styx's scope in all the right ways without sacrificing its steadfast focus on stealth.
Squanch's FPS sequel has more creativity in its left shoe than most entire games, but High on Life 2 falls short of excellence.
Reanimal doesn't meaningfully develop Tarsier's approach to gameplay in the Little Nightmares games, but it's a grim sight to behold, and a worthwhile horror adventure.
A sprawling, ridiculous, and endlessly surprising roguelike that will drag you body and soul into its chaotic world.
Nioh 3 is everything I wanted from a sequel to Nioh 2, and yet, somehow so much more. One of the best soulslikes yet.
Luckily the Railforged and Wurmkin have expanded that facet of the base game. Out February 2, the package is a no-brainer at the respectful $10 price, and generously widens this moreish deckbuilder—the best in gaming. It'll hold that title for me until another deckbuilder lets me use mass-produced steampunk spiders, each wielding giant hammers that generate gold coins and armor every time they swing, to obliterate the corrupted mother of creation.
I'm not saying Wildlight should've simply made an entirely different kind of FPS, but I do think it could benefit from not taking itself so seriously. We're shooting AK-47s from bearback, smashing walls with hammers, and playing keep-away with a sword—that's the fun I wish Highguard leaned into.
