The best and worst boss fights in PC gaming

Boss fights are great. Except when they're terrible! Things got heated when the PC Gamer staff debated whether the boss fight is good design or an antiquated videogame trope, so we decided to present our strongest evidence for each case. First up: a collection of our favorite bosses, the battles that have stuck with us for years. On page two, the list of shame: a whole bunch of bad, stupid ...

What s The Genre You Never Thought You d Like?

I was certain I d never have any time for roguelites. To clear up confusion about this most ambiguous of genres, by this I mean games that have permanent or mostly permanent death states, where losing means starting again from the beginning, with finite resources, and not necessarily any end goal. In fact, if you d asked me a few years back, I d have said this was the antithesis ...

Have You Played Dungeons of Dredmor?

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. We had no idea what a roguelike resurgence there was going to be back when brutal yet light-hearted dungeon-running RPG Dredmor was released in 2011. Sure, a few were doing the rounds, but they were rare enough that this tongue-in-cheek take on perma-death adventuring seemed ever ...

It s Time To Get Excited About Clockwork Empires

Imagine if so much of the bullshit Peter Molyneux has talked over the years was actually in a game. A simulation game where each tiny human lived their own lives, had their own thoughts and feelings and memories, and behaved accordingly.

I Very Much Roguelike The Humble Weekly Bundle

While the main Humble Bundle is diverting itself from gaming with a really quite splendid collection of audiobooks, it seems to have snuck out one of the best collections of games so far in its Weekly Bundle. Rather than showcasing games from one studio, this week it s a collection of Roguelikes. (Everyone who wants to have a fight about the terminology, please do so here.) That s Para...
