Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories. The Orange Box (Image credit: Valve) Developer: ValveYear: 2007 Imagine a major game developer releasing three new games not just in the same year but on the same ding dong dang day. And not just any old three games! One…

Valve hasn’t confirmed or denied it yet, but all signs point to its next game being a hero shooter called Deadlock. Allegedly. I’ve seen some screenshots and a short video of a tutorial, and I’ve gotten a look at some of the game’s characters. My thoughts rest somewhere between “huh” and “meh.” I guess in…

Survival game Nightingale just delivered a feature players have been asking for since the game debuted in early access in February: offline mode. As of today, solo survival fans will no longer be at the whims of servers in order to jump into the fae realms of the gaslamp fantasy base-builder. Offline mode isn’t the…

If you were a medieval sheep farmer you’d probably be thrilled to discover new sheep magically appearing in your field every time you turned around. Wool for weeks, right? Your enthusiasm might begin to falter, though, right around the time you oversaturated the market to the point that wool was essentially worthless, not to mention…

One of the joys of playing a city builder is peering down at the little people on your screen and watching what they’re doing. Manor Lords is no exception—it’s fun to sit back and observe your little 14th century peasants working in the fields, constructing buildings, and lugging resources from here to there as they…

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? Did you watch any good movies? Did your videogame sell over a million copies and break the Steam record for a city builder with over 170,000 concurrent players within a single day of launching into early access? Not a lot of people can answer yes to…

No judgments, but did you binge all eight episodes of Prime TV’s Fallout show as soon as they dropped? I showed a lot of restraint by watching four episodes one day and four more episodes the next day, but I know certain members of PC Gamer watched the entire season in a single session.  We’re…
