PC Gamer's Reviews
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon puts an interesting spin on Arthurian legend and presents a competent world that plays like a love letter to the open-world first-person RPG genre.
Once it finds its footing, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is an engaging romp through a charming and dynamic world.
Elden Ring Nightreign is just as confusing and abrasive as FromSoftware's other games, but there's really nothing else like it.
A weird and funny story with a lot of surprises, but control and camera issues dampen the fun.
Wonderfully authentic, but it's too familiar, cumbersome with a pad, and the career management is unusually tedious.
An all-time great deckbuilder gets a sequel worth risking God's wrath for.
Bursting with ideas, enthusiasm, and a solid physics model, but JDM seems more preoccupied with throwing another idea in than polishing what's already there.
Blades of Fire can be great fun, but it definitely overstays its welcome.
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny represents the design tenants of a bygone era, more often for worse than better.
Labyrinth of the Demon King offers familiar first-person retro dungeon crawling, but distinguishes itself with its overpowering-almost unbearable-mood of dread.
Doom: The Dark Ages is indulgent and deliciously violent, but surprisingly safe.
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.
