After putting together a list of some of the big, well-known games currently on sale in the Steam Autumn Sale, I asked the PC Gamer team for some deeper cuts—games they're real sickos for, but that haven't gotten enough love. Here's what they brought to the table.The ones where you have to read(Image credit: High North Studios)(Image credit: Tin Man Games)(Image credit: Acrobatic Chirimenjako)(Image credit: Draw Distance)Underappreciated shooters(Image credit: Focus...

Well, I was mostly joking when I took credit for Ace Combat's director finally getting to fly in a real jet. Turns out our interview really was the catalyst. If anyone else has a dream waiting to be realized, give me a shout. Apparently I have the magic touch.(Image credit: Kazutoki Kono)

I don't typically have much love for billion-dollar corporations dropping the 'meet our legal department' hammer on no-budget modders who are just trying to exercise their creative muscles, but in this one instance I'm willing to let it slide: Bethesda has issued a cease-and-desist order to an "AI creator" who made a Fallout game set in New York City that runs in browsers.That's actually overstating it: As Chris First explained...

The votes are in—the first of Deadlock's six new heroes just dropped. The Rat King is here, and one of his abilities lets you throw a bunch of rats at people, like that Eminem meme.(Image credit: Tyler C. / Valve)

If you're looking for SSDs, RAM, or even a swish new GPU, this has arguably not been your year. The memory supply crisis is still driving up component prices, but there is a silver lining to this dark cloud—gaming monitor deals have never looked so good in comparison.I was initially intrigued by the 27-inch OLED Samsung Odyssey G5 G50SF. I thought $330 was a great price for a gaming OLED...

Wireless gaming mice are great and have only gotten better with time. They're so good, in fact, that I would not go for a wired model unless I was really looking for a budget option. And yet it turns out wired mice were the best choice for the Valorant Champions tournament in Shanghai, where custom desks were apparently interfering with the signal.

As industry analysts Alinea Analytics report, September was another record breaker based on their estimated figures."Steam generated $1.7 billion in September 2026," Rhys Elliott, Alinea's head of market analysis, wrote, "the platform's best September to date, up 13% on...

It's been a while since I set foot nervously inside the Playtime Co. factory, but last time I was there I was hounded through the halls and air vents by a towering blue plush toy that wanted nothing more than to hug me to death.I played a bit of the multiplayer prequel to Poppy Playtime this week, and I can now report that there's something even scarier than that giant...

(Image credit: Veddge)It rules that we still don't know who made myhouse.wad. The surreal, unsettling Doom mod had a sort of ARG-lite element to it: The mod's original creator is said to have died, with Veddge, the uploader, either having expanded on something he left behind—or, more troublingly, having found the haunted map among the original creator's possessions.I love it as a bit of creepypasta storytelling, but what makes me...
