PC Gamer's Reviews
Like a Miyazaki-movie love of food, from the glorious ramen Mr. Saitou slumps next to at an izakaya to the strange confectionery available at a convenience store run by fungus. And the RPG Maker interface that you'll need to hit F11 to force into fullscreen. And a soulful bittersweetness that means it's likely to, cliché as it sounds, make you laugh and make you cry. At least a little bit. It's not the full emotional rollercoaster of Rakuen—it's more of a bite-sized experience, a quick ghost train through a bouncy castle where you can whip to the last stop in a single sitting if you want.
One of the best open world games to come along in ages.
Resident Evil 4 remake is a great game in its own right, but can't hold a candle to the original.
A disappointing campaign, and a sandbox rework that shows promise, but feels like it's still some major balance patches away from leaving the game in a good place.
Clash's brilliantly surreal world is hampered by uncompromising combat and level design.
A slow-paced and overly simplistic take on city building and war waging, but blessed with wholesome looks and a relaxing atmosphere.
Technical issues aside, Wo Long is a master of its craft that future soulslikes should study under.
An exciting concept begging for structural refinements and more meat on its robot bones.
Atomic Heart aims high and, even if it doesn't quite pull it off, is a decent shooter in an exceptionally realised setting.
Company of Heroes 3 is a spectacular RTS that manages to shine even when the main campaign doesn't.
Old-school Yakuza for better or worse, but still a good point of entry for newcomers.
Sublime combat can only do so much to carry a flawed building system, too few monsters and terrible performance.
Demanding but excellent combat and gorgeous visuals sit awkwardly in a half-baked roguelike structure.
Wanted: Dead is an intentionally messy throwback, one that some people are going to adore while others lament. All the AA jank of a PlayStation 3 action game wrapped up in a janky 2023 modern gaming bow.
Hogwarts Legacy is a great game haunted by a terrible creator.
A serious display of sci-fi storytelling talent, even if the production falls short of space age.
A gorgeous world is denied a chance to tell its own tale.
Despite it's killer opening act, Hi-Fi Rush fails to sustain its blend of rhythm and action all the way until the end.
Power Chord's slick card-slinging combat is weighed down by a gaudy aesthetic and lack of variety.
Industries of Titan starts strong and has some bold ideas, but they just don't really go anywhere.
