On PC Gamer magazine’s 30th anniversary I’m well and truly buoyed by the sheer variety of PC games available to play today. Just look at the disparate genres covered by the PCG reviews machine this month as evidence. We’ve got action, real-time and turn-based strategy, simulations, deck-building roguelikes, narrative-driven adventures, FPS games and more.
For me, the open and varied landscape that PC gaming offers has always been a key part of its appeal, and while not all of the reviewed games this issue lodge super-high scores, it’s hard not to feel enthused about PC gaming’s future considering what they offer, and especially so in a year like 2023 that has also treated us to Baldur’s Gate III, Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyamong many other top games.
