PC Gamer's Reviews
Despite somewhat samey missions and a flat protagonist, Khazan's combat and boss design are some of the best I've seen in a soulslike.
Atomfall can be a fun diversion, but it really needs to take a gap year so it can find itself.
Overboard's more complex follow-up is another great evil detective game.
Come for the neck stabs and stay for the surprisingly great combat, Assassin's Creed Shadows is a stealth action buffet with a story to forget.
Fragpunk's bold decision to break almost every rule in the book leads to a captivating shooter.
Another fumbled PC port blighted by poor optimisation and unpredictable performance issues.
A satisfying farming and tea-shop sim inside a well-written adventure with meaningful themes.
These are decent enough remasters, but not the outstanding ones these RPGs deserved.
An incredibly inventive, rapid-fire co-op adventure that never breaks its stride, despite its dull protagonists.
It takes too long to grow beyond its predecessor, but once it does Knights in Tight Spaces is an engaging and tactical roguelike deckbuilder.
Two Point Museum is the coolest, cosiest, and most evolved iteration of the formula to date, even if its more obtuse aspects prevented me from becoming a pro curator.
Best in class monster combat makes up for a wilderness that's a touch too streamlined.
There's been better narrative games, but none so achingly familiar as Lost Record's quartet of young punks.
A welcome refresh of a hack-and-slash mainstay that mostly impresses, despite a few glaring pacing problems.
Flawed and overfamiliar, but still as joyously OTT and hilarious as ever.
Great characters, challenging resource management, and impeccable road trip vibes.
Bigger than it first appears, Avowed is an engrossing and gorgeous action-RPG set in one of the most engaging fantasy worlds going, though it lacks the complex systems of its most beloved contemporaries.
A great detective game gets a lavish remake and an improved expansion in one essential package.
Toothless writing, old-fashioned open world design, and ropey port work undermine what should be a thrilling cinematic adventure.
Still a compelling sprint through human history, Civilization 7 sheds a little too much weight to match its excellent predecessors.
