PC Gamer's Reviews
A game about breaking free from monotony that gets, perhaps inevitably, a little monotonous.
A great one-shot adventure or an enjoyable grindfest, depending on which you want.
In terms of core design, turn-based tactics games don't get much better than Phoenix Point.
Lost Ember is a wonderful, unique, and unforgettable experience with a love for nature.
A seamless continuation of the series that makes up for its limitations with pure heart. It's like Ryo never left us.
Technical issues marr an otherwise slick adventure. A must for Star Wars fans.
A mediocre XCOM-like in the form of a deeply worrying depiction of militarised police.
Thrilling night races make Heat the best Need for Speed in years, even if I want to batter every one of its racers.
Wargames don't see a lot of innovation, but Unity of Command 2 builds new things out of familiar parts.
Red Dead Redemption 2's stark, slow depiction of America's fading frontier is a monumental work straining against stubborn mission design and stability problems.
A fun blend of puzzle and roguelike that inspires forward-thinking, but cuts your strategy short.
Another superb entry that feels tailor-made for the series' most dedicated players.
Unaware of its absurdity, Blacksad: Under The Skin fails at much of what it attempts
Excellent VR combat and movement wedged inside a repetitive quest system.
A polished, wide-ranging update that brings the classic RTS into the modern age.
Another strong (yet stressful) management sim from Frontier Developments.
The top-notch writing and superb voice acting, coupled with the visually vibrant hellscape, keeps your interest from start to finish.
A serene gravity flipping puzzler with impossible structures to wrap your head around.
Modern Warfare evolves the series for the better, but it could be so much more.
There's a category of games I think of as Saturday morning cartoon games. They lack depth, but they are fluffy and easy to enjoy. As I look back on some screenshots as Pippin laser blasts a poor marauder into a pile of dust, I realise that's what The Outer Worlds is to me. If you meet it on those terms, I think you'll enjoy it.
