There’s a bounty out on Karlach. No, not the one she starts the game under, and which you can collect on if you’re some kind of terrible monster. That one was placed by a fell creature from the depths of hell itself, whereas this bounty was placed by a fell creature known as a YouTuber. 

Videogame video-maker Proxy Gate Tactician has offered a $500 reward to anyone who can catch Faerûn’s favourite tiefling breaking the fourth wall (via GamesRadar).

As you might have read on PC Gamer dot com, BG3 game files uncovered by a different YouTuber named Chubblot show a scene in which Karlach is struck by the horrifying realisation that she’s in a videogame. It’s a great little skit, with Karlach gesturing at everything from the game’s enormous web of cho…

Last month at The Game Awards we finally got our first look at Sean Murray’s followup to No Man’s Sky—and it’s a huge one. In its next game, Light No Fire, Hello Games is trading infinite procedural planets for a single world, but that one open world is going to be the size of an actual planet.

That’s a big promise, and there’s plenty of healthy skepticism about Light No Fire. At the same time, there’s lots of genuine excitement (it’s already in the top 20 of Steam’s most wishlisted games) and no small amount of speculation about how the Earth-sized survival adventure will work. Apart from that one trailer we still don’t really know all that much about Light No Fire yet, except that it’s fantasy themed rather than science fiction: players will fly around the open world with …

Gaming monitors can inspire something of a fierce debate here at PC Gamer, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s this: The Alienware 34 AW3423DWF is a truly glorious slab of gaming display, and now it’s back at under $850 it’s the perfect time to grab one if you couldn’t quite commit over the previous sales.

Yep, when it comes to the best gaming monitors we currently recommend, this big beautiful display comes out top overall, and looking at the specs alone it’s really not difficult to see why. It’s got a superb 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED panel with a gentle yet encompassing 1800R curve, a 165Hz refresh rate and a 3,440 by 1,440 native resolution, which all sounds just lovely. However, it’s that glossy coating that really makes the difference. 

As a result of…

You’ve struck oil in Frostpunk 2, but it’s not going to do you much good out in the frozen frostland. You’ll need to extract the oil (also known as black gold and Texas tea in some parts) and then transfer it to your city. It’s not a complicated process but the tool that lets you transfer resources between your colony and your city can be a little hard to spot when there’s so many other icons and notifications and UI elements on your screen.

In Frostpunk 2, your starting city isn’t your only city. As you explore the frostland outside your borders you’ll eventually find oil and other resources. These are usually in settlements where you can set up an automated, one-way supply line back to your city, but some locations are bigger and can be colonized. That means r…

In the wake of a furious backlash from players, Runescape developer Jagex has admitted that it “messed up” and is making major changes to the recently-announced Hero Pass to remove all the “controversial features” that touched off the uproar.

The announcement of the Hero Pass, a new monetization system that was meant to exist alongside Runescape’s existing subscription fee, did not go over well: Angry messages flew on the official Runescape forums and subreddit, players claimed they’d quit the game and cancelled their accounts, a review bombing campaign was launched on Steam, and a video on the whole mess posted by YouTuber Asmongold attracted more than 1,200 comments.

Jagex initially tried to quell the unrest and ride it out, saying in a September 6 blog post, “We’ve been l…

One of the mechanics coming to Magic: The Gathering in the western-themed Outlaws of Thunder Junction set is called Crime. It’s a way of rewarding outlaw behavior, with Crime specifically defined as using your spells or abilities to directly target an opponent, anything they control, or even their discards. When you do so, that’s called committing a Crime, and it’ll trigger effects from all your other criminal-themed cards in play. 

For instance: Magda, the Hoardmaster pays you a treasure token if you commit a crime that turn, and will eventually let you spend three accumulated treasures to summon a 4/4 scorpion dragon. The Freestrider Lookout lets you scout out the top five cards of your deck when you commit a Crime, while the Hardbristle Bandit untaps, so you can u…
