PC Gamer UK

In a special episode of the PC Gamer UK Podcast, we run through the PC Gamer Top 100 – a big list of PC games that we assemble every year. Insight! Revelations! Farewells! A toilet break! All of this across nearly two hours of chat. Discussed: The PC Gamer Top One Hundred Twenty Nineteen Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Tom Senior (https://twitter.com/PCGLudo) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is an ostensibly fortnightly podcast about PC gaming.

Welcome to the new dystopia, where the accents are questionable, the grannies are starting, and every street corner looks like the inside of a PC case. Welcome to Watch Dogs Legion’s London. Samuel has played Ubisoft’s upcoming hack-’em-up, and talks us through its cool NPC-gathering gimmick. That’s not all: this week, we’re regaling you with the many half-remembered delights of E3 2019, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Empire of Sin. Discussed: Watch Dogs Legion, Dota Underlords, Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex, Marvel’s Avengers, Desperados III, Iron Harvest, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, Empire of Sin Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Tom Senior (https://twitter.com/PCGLudo) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a [TIME IS A CONSTRUCT] podcast about PC gaming.

Dormant. Sickly. Drunk, lying face down in a gutter. Those are all words that you can’t use to describe the PC Gamer UK Podcast, because it is back and strong like a man who is very good at competitively pulling trucks a short distance. Look. We’ve forgotten how to podcast, and we’ve forgotten how to write podcast descriptions. But we’re back, and that’s something. Discussed: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Anthem, The Division 2, Destiny 2, Google Stadia, The Epic Store Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Tom Senior (https://twitter.com/PCGLudo) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Join the PC Gamer team for a nice time discussing a) a frog who is not the world’s best detective, b) a Hitman rivalry that may be getting out of hand, and c) a selection of our picks for the greatest PC games of the period commonly referred to as twenty eighteen. Discussed: Frog Detective, Yoku’s Island Express, Hitman 2, The PC Gamer Game of the Year (Nominations) Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Sheepishly, we return to the podcast studio after a three month hiatus. Er… sorry about that. To make up for it, we talk through a selection of new and recent releases, all while trying to remember how you a) do a podcast, b) speak in full, comprehensible sentences, c) tell a joke without lampshading it first. Discussed: Hitman 2, Forza Horizon 4, Return of the Obra Dinn, GRIS, Megaquarium, Fallout 76 Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

It’s a special episode of the PC Gamer UK Podcast, as the team runs through the latest edition of the PC Gamer Top 100 – our annual list of the best PC games you can buy right now. We run through every game in the list, which you can find in the current issue of the UK magazine (look for the shiny World of Warcraft cover). We also talk about the process of creating the list, and grow increasingly hungry as lunchtime approaches.

E3 was a couple of weeks ago at this point, but that won’t stop the PC Gamer UK team from gathering to discuss everything at the show – from the futuristic cityscape of Cyberpunk 2077 to the cold, hard buttocks of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Plus, now Phil can talk about Yakuza 0 in a way that’s relevant to a PC gaming podcast.

Broadcasting live from the Infinite Deadline, Samuel, Phil and Pip gather to talk about PC games new and old. Except, wait, no, less than three minutes in and already there’s a tangent about Pokemon Snap. Sorry. It’s been a long week. Discussed: Beyond Good & Evil, Destiny 2, Phoenix Point, Two Point Hospital Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

The PC Gamer team return for a freewheelin’ discussion about (mostly) PC gaming. Pip is annoyed by a fish, Phil is confused by a jungle, and Sam is nauseated by a corpse. Also, a mysterious signal; a transmission from a far off land. But who is its sender, and why are they surrounded by cardboard? Discussed: Tiny Bubbles, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Cities: Skylines, BattleTech, Disco Elysium Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

This week (month? Fortnight? Just how frequent is this podcast these days?) Andy returns from his self-imposed exile to all things Jurassic World Evolution. He’s played Frontier’s upcoming park management sim, and reveals everything he knows about disaster, dinosaurs and Dr. Ian Malcolm. Meanwhile, Samuel and Phil revise their opinions of Vermintide II and Sea of Thieves. Discussed: Extinction, Jurassic World Evolution, Sea of Thieves, Warhammer: Vermintide II, Batman: The Telltale Series Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

In a break from the regular format, Samuel and Phil have both played new, recently released PC games. Sam goes head to head with an unspecified cult in Far Cry 5, Phil chunders on a friend in Sea of Thieves, and both have a rant about why, yes, Warhammer: Vermintide II is very difficult thank you very much.

Samuel, Pip and Phil are back, and have played some games for once. Phil talks about the comedic warmth of Chuchel, Pip gets annoyed by a disembodied voice in Assassin’s Creed Origin’s new Discovery Tour, and Samuel attempts to make a pork mech in Smoke and Sacrifice. Then we move on to Twitter questions, which may have been a mistake. Discussed: Chuchel, Into the Breach, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Smoke and Sacrifice Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Samuel, Pip and Phil discuss the philosophical and nutritional ramifications of the chicken dinner, because they haven’t podcasted for a couple of weeks and have seemingly forgotten how to not launch immediately into a tangent. Samuel sets out the rules for proper brig use, Phil apologises for crashing a boat, and Pip runs down Subnautica’s jellyfish content. Discussed: Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, Sea of Thieves, Subnautica, Dynasty Warriors 9, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

After an extended Christmas break (sorry!), Sam and Phil convene to catch up on the latest in PC gaming. After a brief discussion on our Christmas gaming habits, we launch into an extended conversation about GTA Online’s latest update: The Doomsday Heist. We also answer a bumper crop of questions, from what we’re looking forward to in 2018, to PC gaming’s most misused mechanics. Discussed: Prey, NieR: Automata, GTA Online, Dishonored 2 Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Samuel, Pip and Phil recorded this podcast last week and then fell into a deadline-fuelled stupor. Now recovered, they rediscover the podcast, but have no real memory of what’s on it. Definitely nothing worth taking legal action over, if you’re reading this lawyers. Discussed: Into The Breach, Need for Speed: Payback, Pipe Push Paradise Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Samuel, Pip and Phil keep the pod train rolling by discussing the latest games, gaming news and… ah, who are we kidding. We try our best to stay on topic, but Phil rants about vaping for about five straight minutes, Pip tells a story about candy floss and Samuel does a bad badger impression. Discussed: Slime Rancher, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Nier: Automata Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Sam, Pip and Joe discuss the world of Football Manager 2018, two of whom have little to add to the conversation outside of ’90s football references. Plus, Wolfenstein 2 and Destiny 2 chat. Finally, Dark Train: indie game or MOBA hero? You decide. Discussed: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Football Manager 2018, Destiny 2, Dark Train Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Philippa Warr (https://twitter.com/philippawarr) , Joe Donnelly (https://twitter.com/deaco2000) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

With Phil on deadline and Andy in a different county, Samuel and Pip discuss a slew of indie games, as well answering about four weeks’ worth of questions from our various channels.

The PC Gamer team gathers to about the latest and soon-to-be-latest PC games, from the seemingly endless Divinity: Original Sin 2, to the all-consuming Destiny 2. You’re going to need to set aside some significant time to play the year’s biggest games. Here’s hoping you don’t meet a high-level hippo along the way. Discussed: Assassin’s Creed Origins, Total War: Warhammer 2, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Wargroove, Destiny 2 Starring: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Tom Senior (https://twitter.com/PCGLudo) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

After an impromptu summer holiday, Samuel and Phil return with PC Gamer’s new deputy editor, Philippa Warr. We apologise for our month long break, and launch into an (ethically sound, disclaimer containing) chat about Heat Signature, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Paladins: Champions of the Realm and South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Also, we try to remember how to podcast.

Oh snap, it’s the PC Gamer Top 100! Samuel, Phil and Andy – yes, he’s here this week – run through the entire thing, making brutally honest judgements based on a list voted for by almost 20 PC Gamer staffers and freelancers. Why not follow along at home, with a copy of PC Gamer in your hands? (You do have a copy (https://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/gaming/pc-gamer-magazine-subscription/) , right?)

Phil is back, after a (presumed) near death experience. He and Samuel celebrate by talking about PC games, and also the Discovery documentary series Deadliest Catch. We chat about Guild Wars 2’s upcoming expansion, Path of Fire, and relive the highs and lows of GTA Online. And then there’s about 12 minutes of crab stuff. Sorry.

Samuel and the returning (finally) Andy Kelly yammer about Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, the name of which Samuel forgot, which is highly embarrassing. In a quiet time for big releases, they also touch upon The Sexy Brutale, Resident Evil 7 and Mad Max, the latter of which Andy has slowly become obsessed with. Discussed: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, The Sexy Brutale, Night in the Woods, Resident Evil 7, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Mad Max Ya Boys: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Samuel and Phil, fresh off their recent job promotions, gather to answer the questions of you: the listener. Or at least, the questions of those listeners that have actually asked us a question. We are yet to work out how to intuit your questions telepathically. We discuss which game lore we’d subject ourselves too, reveal our pre-game settings rituals, wonder whether Sam was right to accept a free beer, and discover whether Phil is a secret faun.

Samuel, Tom and Phil take a break from compiling the PC Gamer Top 100 to talk about their personal selections for the PC Gamer Top 100. Our 100% accurate annual list of the best PC games is almost here again, and in this episode we reveal a sample of the games we voted for. Will your favourite games grace the finished list? Will Dragon Age 2 be in 94th position for the second year running? Can anything unseat last year’s victor, The Witcher 3? Those questions will be answered on July 27, when the Top 100 is published in issue 308 of PC Gamer UK magazine.

It’s the PC Gamer E3 special! Samuel, who was at E3, and Phil, who watched it at home in his pants, gather to discuss their most anticipated games from the Electronic Three. Was EA’s conference an influencer too far? Is Assassin’s Creed Origins any good? And was Metal Gear Survive really Samuel’s game of the show? All of this, and some reader questions. Discussed: The Electrically Entertaining Extravaganza (Three) This week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) Show notes: Here’s the Anachronox shuttle recreation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwlBz3gkLa4&feature=youtu.be) .

Samuel and Phil gather – sans Andy – to discuss the latest PC gaming delights, from Dirt 4 and Prey to… er… Anachronox, for some reason. Can Dirt 4 satisfy both simulation and arcade racing fans? Would Prey have benefited from being a few hours shorter? And is Anachronox worth playing, or indeed worth talking about? All this, and we discuss whether DLC is actually bad (spoiler: no). Discussed: Dirt 4, Prey, Anachronox This week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) Show notes: I can’t remember what we were going to link to in the show notes.

This week, the PC Gamer team discusses a plethora of smaller games, from Tokyo 42 to Rime. One might call it a smorgasbord. Not us, though – partly because it’s a rubbish metaphor, but mostly because we doubt Little Nightmares would be appetising. Also, we discuss what games we’d smush together into a much better game, and inevitably Dragon Age 2 is mentioned. Discussed: Tokyo 42, Danger Zone, Perception, Rime, Vanquish This week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , and, for the final time as a weekly participant, Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Oh snap, it’s the PC Gamer podcast! I’m going to level with you: it’s 5:27pm on a Friday and the race is on to get this episode description written before we flee the building and embark on a weekend of PC gaming revelry. There’s just time to say that in this episode, Samuel, Phil and Andy make some E3 predictions, discuss Destiny 2 and answer your questions.

Samuel, Andy and Phil return from a podcast break to discuss the latest PC games, and to impart their years of collective wisdom on the best sausages you can buy in Waitrose. (Other sausages are available.) We also answer your questions, offer varying opinions on Prey, and find out whether PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is better than its name. Farewell, sausage. Discussed: PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, Prey, Little Nightmares, Forza Horizon 3: Hot Wheels This week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Tom Senior, Phil Savage and podcast favourite ‘The Meeting Next Door’ return to talk about walking – in houses, in caves, and even in Europe during a war. Also: would Jeremy Corbyn main Chun-Li, and what does Theresa May’s Crusader Kings 2 save look like? All that, and Dragon Age 2 is mentioned yet again.

It’s another post-deadline podcast, but an incredibly tired PC Gamer team bravely soldiers on to talk about the latest in PC gaming and whether the Empire actually did anything wrong. We also answer your burning questions, such as could we beat up a three-year-old? And yes, dear listener. We could. Discussed: Full Throttle, Bayonetta, Star Wars: Battlefront II, Project Sparc, Agents of Mayhem This week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

Samuel and Phil gather to discuss the health of VR, and offer early impressions of The Signal from Tolva. Then, it’s over to you for another bumper questions special! Why? Because we didn’t play enough games to fill a full episode. Yes, we are ashamed of our words and deeds. Discussed: The Signal From Tolva, HTC Vive, This Tweet (https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/200153479753371648) This week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Phil Savage (https://twitter.com/octaeder) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

The Traveller came and brought forth a Golden Age of banter. But then the Hot Takes followed, and the world as we know it fell. Can the PC Gamer team drive back the darkness? Can Bungie bring Destiny’s combat to PC? Can Mass Effect Andromeda hold onto its place on Andy’s hard drive? Discussed: Destiny 2, Mass Effect Andromeda, Nier: Automata, Thimbleweed Park This Week: Samuel Roberts (https://twitter.com/samuelwroberts) , Tom Senior (https://twitter.com/PCGLudo) , Andy Kelly (https://twitter.com/ultrabrilliant) The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming.

After a traumatic deadline, Samuel and Phil climb into the podship and set off on a journey PC gaming. Unfortunately, neither of us had played anything of note this week, so instead we used your questions as an excuse to ramble about stuff.

Last week, PC Gamer said goodbye to noted Dota fancier Chris Thursten. But while his voice will no longer echo around the office, it will arrive in your ears via his final appearance on this here podcast. That doesn’t really tell you what this episode is about, but it’s me – Phil – writing this, and I wasn’t in the room when it was recorded. I have no idea what’s about to happen. Let’s find out together.

Hi. Er, how’s it going? Look, it’s been a couple of weeks since we last recorded a podcast. Blame Christmas, and the fact that making magazines is hard. I’ve sort of forgotten what goes in this bit of the episode description. Something about how the PC Gamer team got together and tried to remember how this podcasting thing works, probably. We talk about Elite Dangerous, the games of 2017, and then answer a couple of questions. Hey! We’ve got a new community home on the PC Gamer Discord channel.

Sorry, sorry. A lot of things happened. Samuel was on deadline, Phil was in Texas, our FTP server wouldn’t let us log on.

This week, PC Gamer gets stuck in the past. From beating up racists in the ’60s, to fondly reminiscing over World War 2’s varied terrain. (It did have a lava level, right?)

Samuel and Phil are tired, after what can charitably be described as a difficult magazine deadline.
