PC Gamer's Reviews
This light touch remaster makes a perfect pairing with Nightdive's far-reaching System Shock 1 remake.
Peak is everything I'd want from a co-op game. It promotes creative collaboration, is cheap as chips, and with the map resetting every 24 hours there's the possibility of endless fun.
An engrossing survival and crafting game with flawed but engaging endgame systems.
A heart-pumping genre superlative that should not be missed despite some technical issues to sort out.
Splitgate 2 is a fine F2P time-waster, but its portals don't add much to the genre and its shooting is nothing special.
Raidou Remastered isn't the best Shin Megami Tensei game on PC, but its live-action take on a familiar turn-based combat system is as fun as it is fascinating.
FBC: Firebreak's madcap mission conceits are delightfully silly, but balancing issues and limited replay value hinder the fun.
Exciting combat and a plethora of sexy costumes can't totally save Stellar Blade's middling story and occasionally questionable level design.
Wildly unpredictable but always enjoyable, The Alters is a masterclass in high-tension gaming.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon puts an interesting spin on Arthurian legend and presents a competent world that plays like a love letter to the open-world first-person RPG genre.
Once it finds its footing, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is an engaging romp through a charming and dynamic world.
Elden Ring Nightreign is just as confusing and abrasive as FromSoftware's other games, but there's really nothing else like it.
A weird and funny story with a lot of surprises, but control and camera issues dampen the fun.
Wonderfully authentic, but it's too familiar, cumbersome with a pad, and the career management is unusually tedious.
An all-time great deckbuilder gets a sequel worth risking God's wrath for.
Bursting with ideas, enthusiasm, and a solid physics model, but JDM seems more preoccupied with throwing another idea in than polishing what's already there.
Blades of Fire can be great fun, but it definitely overstays its welcome.
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny represents the design tenants of a bygone era, more often for worse than better.
Labyrinth of the Demon King offers familiar first-person retro dungeon crawling, but distinguishes itself with its overpowering-almost unbearable-mood of dread.
Doom: The Dark Ages is indulgent and deliciously violent, but surprisingly safe.
