PC Gamer's Reviews
Charming, deep, and constantly surprising, Dave the Diver is packed with activities and full of heart.
Oxenfree 2 is a more mature second run at the walk-and-talk formula.
Ghost Trick is an essential and engrossing experience for any PC gamer.
A Wonderful Life is the first that's properly forced me to settle down and I've found its focus on slowly and carefully tending my farm isn't defunct; it's a different strain of sim that deserves to bloom again after being left fallow for so many seasons.
This throwback management sim's incredible building tools are let down by a limp campaign and a serious lack of depth.
A powerful generator of gnawing tension and tough tactical decisions, Aliens: Dark Descent is a script pass away from being an all-timer.
Beautiful, horrifying, and impressively updated through the power of Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear is a deft upgrade for two horror gems.
The excellent story, still-superlative career and loot-based F1 World make for a convincing and gigantic F1 experience.
Diablo 4 is packed with powerful class builds and exciting loot to find, but clouds its most creative aspects with an overly bleak world and restrictive endgame systems.
Mask of the Rose's writing and characters shine, but the game underneath them never fully gels together.
Amnesia: The Bunker is an essential horror game and an inspired next step for the series.
Minor technical issues and questionable monetisation scuff what is otherwise one of the best fighting games we've seen in the last decade.
It might be a little conservative, but this is a smart, faithful remake and easily the de facto way to play System Shock in the modern era.
For all its many flaws, LOTR: Gollum is an oft-beautiful and oddly endearing adventure.
A fun, if repetitive, kart racer whose charms are sullied by its predatory microtransactions targeted right at young children.
Boltgun is stupendously fun-a treat for Warhammer players and a worthy member of the growing legion of retro shooters.
Resurgence is the perfect mash-up of dramatic Star Trek storytelling and Telltale-style decision making, but with too many QTEs.
Hrot's very final boss was a joke that didn't land for me after an unbroken string of ones that did, but otherwise it's pure boomer shooter excellence.
A graphically gorgeous descendant of Myst, paradoxically limited by its own ambitions.
Near-perfect at everything it does, but wisely limits its remit. A great conversion.
