While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Compare the players reviews to PCGamers reviews regarding almost any title this year and you will see a massive disparency between what gamers want and what these reviewers have just been told to say... See more

I've been reading PC Gamer for literally DECADES and it's gone downhill horribly. Not only do they seem way more "woke" than works for me (a left of center guy but not antifa-left), but hot dayum, ha... See more

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Unproffesional and biased.

Their magazine is about 1/3 advertising, some of their reviews in there have less page coverage than the adverts.

They are unproffesional and biased, with statements like " they dont like the voice acting because the actors are too popular" What?? thats like saying a movie is bad because the actors are too popular... How serious is that??

I have seen a lot more review's where i disagree than the ones where i actually agree, I got a feeling that they are in the pockets of the big companies, and take money for good reviews. That could explain the ammount of unproffesionalism, and why really bad games get a score of 94 and good ones a lot less.

And the majority of the user reviews on sites like IGN and metacritic, but also Pcgamers own users seems to disagree with the reviews they write.

I would reccomend to save your money and ignore any reviews from Pcgamer, find another company that covers what you are looking for.

I recently

started reading their magazines, and I must say even though it really needs some improvements, based on the looks and organisation of articles, cause it looks like they just threw those articles on top of each other. They do give some awesome beta codes for mmo's but those as far as i know can't be used other than US and UK. I guess that's not their fault but dev's.
