PC Gamer's Reviews
Exacting, agonising, challenging, and intensely rewarding, Into the Breach delivers in the tiniest package the most perfectly formed tactics around.
Has flickers of brilliance, but the painfully slow and gruelling survival simulation routinely snuffs them out.
A cool idea with a well-realised theme, but this game would've benefitted from longer in Early Access.
Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is a solid remake of a game that's past its time.
A flimsy remake of a flawed 16-bit favourite that exacerbates all the original's problems while failing to recapture its strengths.
Rust is a malicious experience rife with betrayal, cruelty and greed. That can make it both frustrating and sublime in equal doses.
A decent port of a great Final Fantasy with one of the cleverest combat systems in RPGs.
With a local co-op buddy Aegis Defenders becomes a fun mix of genres, but when playing solo it canbe an exercise in frustration.
Kingdom Come is a seriously satisfying role-playing experience set in a rich, reactive world.
Flat writing and a confused plot fail to deliver on some promising ideas.
Rise and Fall is a great addition to Civilization 6 that doesn't quite go far enough to be essential.
A prickly 2D Metroidvania with a curious twist, Dandara admirably finds something new to do with the genre, but it's tough work to get onboard.
Bland and unambitious save for its combat, Lost Sphear draws so heavily from the traditions of past JPRGs that it fails to build a personality of its own.
Accessible yet complex, chaotic yet beautiful, this is the real fighting game deal.
A smattering of technical issues keep Subnautica from true legendary status, but only just.
A streamlined peep at the events which build up to Life is Strange. Emotionally satisfying, but sometimes clunky.
Tartarus shows off some excellent puzzles aboard a disappointingly empty spaceship, but it's usually more charming than frustrating.
An engaging, vibrant and challenging platformer that adds narrative to a genre often shy of it.
PUBG takes the tradition of big-map survival games like DayZ and compresses it into digestible, 3-to-30-minute sprints that are reliably scary and low-key.
Slick platforming, well-designed puzzles, and a huge, connected world, with occasional moments of frustration.
