Borderlands 3’s story is… interesting. As someone who has played most of Gearbox’s loot’em shoot’ems, I agree with the general consensus that 3’s story is kinda the worst. Mind, I’ve never hopped into Pandora’s (or its associated moons’) deep narrative—but after hours of outdated memes, when a certain character sacrificed themselves to Beyonce’s “This Girl … Read more

You know those random-branded monitors you see on Newegg or Amazon? The ones that look like stellar value on paper? Are any of them actually any good? Or are they somehow fundamentally flawed and therefore ultimately a waste of money? In the case of the KTC H27T22C-3, at least, I can answer that question. At … Read more

Terminally Online This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMORPG column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. My credentials? Well, I’ve … Read more

If you’re a Grand Theft Auto-enjoyed, the painstaking wait for GTA 6 likely seems like a lifetime. Sitting on our hands, watching the clock, marking huge Xs on the calendar day-by-day—May 26, 2026 cannot come quick enough. For one GTA community, though, this is the busiest they’ve ever been. Founded in the run-up to GTA … Read more

Here’s an intriguing little number that slipped through the cracks amid the deluge of game announcements pouring out Gamescom. The Killing Stone is a virtual card battler interweaved with a twisted folk horror narrative, where you play against demons and the devil himself in papery duels to the death. I say card game, but the … Read more

I’ve been continually impressed by Cairn ever since it was announced in June last year. The survivalist climber features one of the best climbing simulations I’ve experienced yet. If that seems like a bold claim for a game that isn’t out for another few months, don’t take my word for it, you can also try … Read more

It’s a little odd that Age of Empires is one of the liveliest RTS series of the 2020s. Perhaps that speaks to the sorry state of the genre in general. But a genuinely great fourth game from Relic and several well-judged remasters have undeniably helped the series defy the tide of history. In any case, … Read more

Team Fortress 2 modders love nothing more than imagining alternate histories for Valve’s long-running multiplayer shooter, and this year has seen several of these nostalgia-tinged conversions migrate from the rolling pastures of the web into Steam’s smog-belching metropolis. In March, Team Fortress 2 Classic revealed it would be launching on Valve’s platform sometime in 2025, … Read more

Legends tell of a videogame. A cursed videogame. One which, once it crosses paths with another, puts a year-long ticking timebomb on its victim. And the worst part? They never saw it coming. Sorry, it’s Persona 5, I get at least one Last Surprise joke. There’ve been a pretty wild number of collaborations announced across … Read more

Shader compilation woes are, to my mind at least, one of the scourges of modern gaming. Nothing brings you out of the experience quicker than unwanted hitches and stutters as a game struggles to compile shaders in the background before they’re needed. Microsoft thinks it might have the solution, however, by providing pre-compiled shaders, downloaded … Read more
