One of the many benefits of PC gaming is the ability to get under the hood and tinker with the games that you already own. There’s no better series to satisfy the tinkerer’s itch than The Elder Scrolls. The franchise has embraced the modding community for nearly two decades, and the creative team behind it says that decision has had much to do with the series’ longevity and popularity over the years. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim serves as an excellent introduction to game modding, thanks to its integration with the Steam Workshop. Simply purchase and download the game, and you’ll be able to select from more than 28,000 community-created mods that add everything from new skins, items, and quest lines to large-scale battles. Of course, Skyrim is also available as a virtual reality title that’s fully compatible with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, or PlayStation VR for console fans. For those who want to dig a little deeper, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind provides a much more hands-on modding ex...

 PC gaming remains on the front lines of innovation “Tactical stealth” isn’t exactly a booming genre, but developer Mimimi seems to have the format perfectly dialed in. After the success of Shadow Tactics in 2016, the team took those same design tenets — small squads of specialized units tackling armies of soldiers with precision and quick-saving — to the Wild West with Desperados 3. Desperados 3 changes very little about what made Shadow Tactics great.  It’s still an isometric stealth game filled with vision cones and seemingly-impossible odds. But small tweaks, like being able to cue up your entire squad’s next action to all play out at the same time, make it a much more satisfying experience than its predecessor. The adventure is made up of stellar levels that look more like dioramas brought to life, each filled with charm and detail, from the rainy streets of New  Orleans to the dusty byways of a sun-beaten desert town. Picking these levels apart, piece by piece, usin...

  You may have heard of StickyLock Games, for it was they who helped deliver the wonderfully woolly world of Woven to console previously. Now though that same indie game developer are looking to create a game-changing first person shooter – Histera. Planned for full release on all major platforms including those of VR, Histera should arrive in full in early 2022. Before that time there is hope that a Steam Early Access release will occur in late 2021 But what is it? Well, Histera is a multiplayer first-person shooter that takes place in multiple simulated eras and moments in history, as well as taking players into the future. When it does arrive, it should also be possible for players to run around in high-tech armor fighting a rebel uprising, or stomp around in primitive clothes with improvised weapons, as they go about fighting a rival tribe. Histeria will see players experience vastly different surroundings, outfits and weapons that will force them to change up their tactics and...
