In a recent interview with PC Gamer's Joshua Wolens at this year's Gamescom, Saber Interactive CCO Tim Willits admitted the studio's leadership had a reputation for saying precisely what it means—"sometimes we 'say what we mean' too much," he laughed. But when asked if recent controversies would change the studio's comms approach, he said "no.""I've been in the industry for so long, and there's always some dust up," Willits explained....
Dwarf Fortress is a bit like caviar—not everyone's into it, but the people who are describe their experiences with it like a religious awakening. But the game's legendary co-creator, Tarn Adams, didn't even know it had a big following for many years, as he told PC Gamer's Joshua Wolens in a recent interview at Gamescom 2026."It was something like 2013, 14 going to PAX in Seattle, and there was an...
Despite more than a year of updates and at least one massive overhaul, Civilization 7 remains as stubbornly divisive as ever. May's enormous Test of Time update brought significant mechanical reworks and a fresh influx of players to Firaxis' latest entry in the 4X series. But with Steam reviews still sitting at 'Mixed', with 51% positive, it ultimately did little to shift player opinion.This is partly because numerous aspects of...
With mega-games like GTA 6 on the way, it's hard not to feel like games are always getting bigger—both the software itself, and the teams that make it (GTA 6 has an entire dedicated NPC team "art-directing" its every background character). But in an interview with PC Gamer's Joshua Wolens, Saber Interactive CCO Tim Willits said a reliance on games with huge scopes and highly specialized teams may be responsible...
The memory crisis may be in full swing, taking numerous PC components with it, but the value of gaming monitors is one of a few hardware things that has actually improved over the last few years. In fact, their price-to-quality ratio is kind of outrageous right now, with even relatively recent QD-OLED screens going for around $300. As such, monitors are one of the few things I check over without...
Every new Rockstar game is more simulation-heavy than the last, and Grand Theft Auto 6 aims to bring players closer to real-life in a variety of ways. One of these is the addition of vehicle refuelling, which will require players to stop off at gas stations (or petrol stations if you're a Brit like me) and watch your disposable income vanish in a stream of fossilised plant matter.This mechanical tweak...
It already felt weird and wonderful to say that PC Gamer has reviewed Metal Gear Solid 4, a game for the personal computer. Now it gets even weirder: MGS4 mods are incoming, with TriggerHappy on YouTube already showing off a custom map in Kojima's 2008 stealth-action classic. Back in 2021, modder Jayveer showed off a map ported from Metal Gear Arcade into Metal Gear Online 2, the multiplayer accompaniment to...
When Cookie Clicker and Candy Box both released in quick succession in 2013, I remember them being received mostly as a joke, or else as an amusing parody of "watch numbers go up" RPG gameplay. Then something weird happened: all my colleagues became fixated on Cookie Clicker. So did I. Lots of people on the internet, on Twitter and in various forums like Reddit, confessed to having become addicted to...
The early access RPG Entropy is a very different beast to its developers' previous work. Dread Delusion was a shockingly good homage to first person RPGs like King's Field or The Elder Scrolls, while this new game is distinctly JRPG-inflected, nailing a lot of the feel and intangibles of something like Final Fantasy 10 or Lost Odyssey.But you can't just put it into the JRPG bin and call it a...
You know, I do a lot of prattling about videogame music at this humble website PC Gamer dot com. It's practically woven into the fabric of my very being at this point—hugely formative for me growing up, and now I carry little bits of it everywhere. I have half a dozen VGM playlists dedicated to stuff like the gym, relaxing, and locking in at work. I've formed lifelong memories with...
