Technically 119 because of personal picks.
Me, only remembering that this accursed website exists because someone linked to a dogshit take.
This wasn't a particularly fun review to write, but I'm really not gelling with Destiny 2's new systems. So much of the game right now feels worse than it did two weeks ago.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate review
It's a brand new Destiny 2. Can I have the old one back?

WWE ain't got nothing on the style and grace of the Japanese pros.
As part of @pcgamer.com's Witcher 3 10th anniversary celebrations, I was asked to write about the whole Tub Geralt thing, aka, the most notable thing I have done in my career. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ce...

From screenshot to cake, Tub Geralt became a defining icon of The Witcher 3.

This really rings hollow when "lawless space cowboy shit" is already a rich vein of Destiny storytelling, but also one severely lacking in the current version of the game. This just reads as Bungie jettisoning the 'vibe' already built in favour of the version of it that lets them have lightsabers.
🚨NEW: Bungie responds to concerns around Destiny 2 Renegades expansion, saying "everything… is in-canon" and they’re "leaning into the aesthetic, tone, and vibe of Star Wars to tell a Destiny story with Destiny characters" - thegamepost.com/destiny-2-st...
Based on what I've played so far, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 feels like a real modern Oblivion successor. Only instead of helping Sheogorath unleash a storm of burning dogs, you're tracking the village idiot to his sauerkraut den because he's stolen half the cabbages.

If you’d like to follow the PC Gamer team on Bluesky, here’s a starter pack with everyone On Here so far.
Anyway, my top tip is to mentally find-and-replace "The Game Awards" with "The Spike VGAs".

"Here's the big problem with The Game Awards": Oh no. Sounds serious. Let's put our best minds on this.

"Here's the big problem with The Spike VGAs": oh lol. who cares?
I will say this for The Game Awards: it's an audacious excercise in branding. The discourse every year suggests that people genuinely believe it's /the/ de facto official industry award show, but like, they just called it that. It's a trick. A spell that only works if you believe.
So each new space elevator phase, I'm just wandering off to find new deposits and making new factories and figure out ways to transport that stuff back to the space elevator.
Yeah, the fact that deposits never run out mean – at least where I'm at at the moment – I'm not seeing the need to redo factories. Even the early inefficient ones are just trucking along, because the early game materials are all pretty useful for building still.
Oh it's so much more cursed than it even looks. This is what's happening with the ratios. There's a double screw manifold because I haven't even unlocked a belt that can deal with this much nonsense.
At the point of Satisfactory where I know just enough to be dangerous. It's all nightmare spaghetti factories and "fuck it, that'll do".
See, like all great snackable things, I overindulged and finished the first game and its DLCs in two sittings.

Me, shouting to the heavens because I stubbed my toe on the bedside table: "Fuck SBMM"
