PC Gamer's Reviews
A witty take on sci-fi and co-op that's teeming with life and begging for you to get creative with its gadgets.
Take an indie platformer like VVVVVV or Downwell and up the ultraviolence, that's Shotgun Cop Man.
A beautiful remaster of a great game that leaves some very old, obvious issues untouched.
Skin Deep is an indulgent masterclass in immersive sim shenanigans, but lacks a standout level you'll be telling friends about for years.
A new adventure game classic, and a bit of a tear-jerker.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's gorgeously realized world is let down by its emphasis on combat, marred by a few fatal stumbles.
There's much less game in Tape 2, but a strong narrative conclusion is worth seeing. It won't take long, either.
Unashamedly retro in spirit yet modern where it counts, Tempest Rising is a riveting flashback to the halcyon days of the RTS.
Tempopo's rhythmic puzzling is undeniably great, but is let down by a lack of mechanical pacing and an absence of Witch Beam's coveted storytelling.
The least amicable city council meeting you've ever attended and probably the best game you'll play this year.
So grab a pen and paper. Lower the lights. Sit back, relax, and take your time. Draft your rooms, count your steps, and let the mysteries of the mansion slowly unfold to reveal one of the best puzzle games in years.
A rough port and bungled narrative make The Last of Us Part 2 hard to recommend, though the remaster's additions and moment-to-moment action satisfy.
South of Midnight's action may not have the strongest hook, but its poignant tale of hope and sorrow tailored to Deep South mythos keeps its head raised high.
Rosewater tells an engaging Western story despite a well-worn formula.
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.
