Anyone listen to a composer's back catalogue and are amazed how diverse it can be? For example, Trevor Morris is probably well known in gaming circles for the Dragon Age Inquisition OST but did you know he also did this 80s infomercial style track from SimCity Societies?

The top 100 PC games Welcome to the 2025 edition of the PC Gamer Top 100—our annual list of the best PC games you can play.

PC Gamer Top 100 is out for this year. It's been 10 years since Choicest Games did a Top 100 and am inspired to do another, PC Gamer style (with some weighting on uniqueness and importance of titles). Will probably use 7+ / 10 titles rated on the blog as it gives roughly 300 titles to start with.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Review A PC gaming blog with PC game reviews, game soundtrack reviews, feature articles and opinion pieces on the world of PC gaming.

A showstopper bug kept causing CTDs. Despite my attempts to make it work it didn't and it's probably just as well, the game hasn't aged terribly well anyway (except for its awesome soundtrack). Time for a remake!

C - Lords of Fortune

Just as a control (as I am someone who follows the plot but not the deep lore) I got 36%, so 95% is very impressive.

My wife and I got the EA App version of the game and as soon as we got past the queue to enter the main menu screen, it said we didn't have the game... Even though we preloaded the game on the EA App. Ahhh day one issues.

Battlefield 6 Game Servers Full notification. 259,200th in the queue.

Um... can I have a turn? Please? :P

Yeah I totally get it. Quest for Glory is one of my favourites but it's more Sierra adventure with a layer of RPG mechanics tacked on.

It actually took me a while to respond to this one, mainly because my taste in RPGs tend to be hybrid ones, so I just consulted a top 100 RPGs list and picked the first four I thought were good ones I enjoyed 😁

Four RPGs to get to know me. ✨

What about you?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review A PC gaming blog with PC game reviews, game soundtrack reviews, feature articles and opinion pieces on the world of PC gaming.

It's different, like every previous iteration of Dragon Age. But it also feels like a fantasy version of Mass Effect 2, and I just happen to like Mass Effect 2.

And placed them into the game. Maybe we're just spoiled nowadays and maybe my tastes have changed too from a decade ago. Anyway, have yet to finish it so will reserve my final decision in the review. It's not a bad game, just had to roll my eyes at some parts, especially some of Madison's /2

Playing Heavy Rain for the first time and kind of surprised it did so well? I guess for its day it was a technical marvel and it was considered "mature" (if titillation is what you're after) but it feels like Cage stitched a bunch of common tropes and cliches found on the big screen /1

This game doesn't rate well on Steam and the developer seems out of business. But is it at least any fun?

Unfortunately, it is not.

Neat! There's a Steam event this weekend promoting Western Australian games! Be sure to check it out (I know I am).

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed how over the top their animation was.

I'm always skeptical when video games make it on the big (or small) screen. I've been happily proven wrong in recent years but there's been more flops than successes. Life is Strange's gameplay mechanic (time travel) has already been covered in film many times before so how is it going to stand out?

Daaamn been meaning to try Outer Worlds. It's on my Pile of Shame 😄.

So new Vegas in spaaaaace?
