PC Gamer's Reviews
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.
A satisfying farming and tea-shop sim inside a well-written adventure with meaningful themes.
These are decent enough remasters, but not the outstanding ones these RPGs deserved.
An incredibly inventive, rapid-fire co-op adventure that never breaks its stride, despite its dull protagonists.
It takes too long to grow beyond its predecessor, but once it does Knights in Tight Spaces is an engaging and tactical roguelike deckbuilder.
Two Point Museum is the coolest, cosiest, and most evolved iteration of the formula to date, even if its more obtuse aspects prevented me from becoming a pro curator.
Best in class monster combat makes up for a wilderness that's a touch too streamlined.
There's been better narrative games, but none so achingly familiar as Lost Record's quartet of young punks.
A welcome refresh of a hack-and-slash mainstay that mostly impresses, despite a few glaring pacing problems.
Flawed and overfamiliar, but still as joyously OTT and hilarious as ever.
