PC Gamer's Reviews
A tense, atmospheric game tangled in the tendrils of poor pacing and grind.
The spirit of early-'90s fantasy games, cleverly revived in an original and digestible form.
Valheim might be the rare exception. The game as a whole is not complete, but the parts that are there do feel complete, if that makes sense. I can see the areas in which I'd like it to grow, but Valheim feels refined and satisfying as it is right now. I've put 70 hours into it so far, and I fully expect to at least double that, and it's a $20 game. No matter what happens in Early Access, it's hard not to feel like I've already gotten my money's worth.
Old School RuneScape is a massive but compelling time sink, and even after all these years, there's simply nothing else like it.
Classically styled and rich in detail, Nebuchadnezzar's city-building fun is hindered by micromanagement and trading issues.
Little Nightmares 2 understands exactly what it wants to be, and mostly pulls it off.
Raising the genre's high bar, Nioh 2 runs and plays beautifully. But perhaps you can have too much of a good thing.
Strikers walks and talks like Persona 5, but no social game and bland combat make it one strictly for gigafans.
Field of Glory 2: Medieval is the closest to a tabletop miniatures experience you'll get on PC.
A joyful mix of stealth and action, the fun doesn't snag on the rough edges.
Quality point-and-click puzzles link a gallery of impeccable artwork.
A compelling story and speedy stealth make up for Disjunction's less even moments.
Cyber Shadow isn't the peak of the genre, but it's a shuriken's throw away.
An inventive Souls-meets-roguelike that frustrates and delights in equal measure.
Olija spearheads a grimly thrilling adventure which is over too soon.
A third-person horror game that's elevated by some of the sharpest writing and acting in the genre.
A bold genre shift, but not a completely successful one.
A beautiful, deep, and endlessly replayable murder sandbox, featuring some of the best levels in the series.
A simple setlist, but the performance shines thanks to technical ability and showmanship.
Omori's ending is brutal, but its characters and humour put some heart behind the horror.
