Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is dividing players. Many say it’s the best experience FromSoftware has ever made, while others decry the PC performance, balancing, and overall difficulty. Player opinion is so split that the DLC debuted with a ‘mixed’ Steam rating, but, after a week of playing, the reception has vastly improved. In […]

The Steam Summer Sale 2024 is underway, and as always there’s an astonishing amount of choice. With so many dramatic discounts on some of the best PC games, it can be tough to decide where to put your hard-earned money. To help you choose, we at PCGamesN have put our collective heads together to select […]

Valve’s answer to Team Fortress 2 ban appeals amid its aimbot purge is a thunderous “no.” After players started a petition demanding Valve act against the bot crisis, the Steam maker is finally taking action against these accounts. This includes a new TF2 support page for anyone banned in the game, with the answer to […]

It’s nice to be right. There’s a sense of satisfaction that comes from having your deductions confirmed, which is how a large swathe of the Overwatch 2 community must be feeling right now. There have been complaints about the game’s tanks for a few seasons, with them not appearing to feel right. In an update […]

With other strategy games, like Manor Lords and the upcoming Civilization 7, it’s all about the grand vision. But I’m a hard times kind of person. Civ wants me to save the economy and build world wonders, and I’m at a loss. But when it comes to tough decisions – sacrificing half the fuel budget […]

I love being surprised. Not in an April Fools way or someone jumping out at me, but in the way of having my expectations pleasantly surpassed. One game that’s doing exactly that is Wardens Rising. It’s a mix of several different ideas and genres all mushed up into one gaming concoction. Alone none of them […]

This significant jump in peak power consumption could allow the chip to increase its clock speed further, potentially pushing […]

You don’t have to be a League of Legends fan to see the appeal of upcoming fighting game spinoff 2XKO. Its art style alone is stunning, each character bursting with immaculately drawn animations that bring their deadly attacks to life. It’s still a way out from launch but you might be able to get a […]

While the upcoming Space Marine 2 and excellent boomer shooter Boltgun mean we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to the best Warhammer 40k games, it’s Fatshark’s co-op FPS follow-up to Vermintide 2 that has kept me coming back. Warhammer 40k Darktide suffered from some stumbles after its initial launch, but has continued to improve since. […]

Playing Riven and Myst back in the day was an experience unlike anything else and is something that will probably never be repeated. As a verified old person who was there and even read the novels, it’s impossible to understate the buzz and excitement these obtuse, confusing puzzle games caused. Whispered conversations in school corridors […]
