The latest issue of PC Gamer magazine is now available, highlighting an exclusive preview of Capcom's highly anticipated action sword-fighting game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. PC Gamer traveled to Capcom's headquarters in Osaka, Japan, to go hands-on with the title and interview seven key developers. The preview suggests the game will deliver visceral and intense swordfights, positioning it as a potential game of the year contender.
Alongside the Onimusha cover story, the magazine includes two special supplements. The first is PC Gamer's Top 100, a 32-page mini-magazine detailing 100 essential games for PC players, compiled after extensive internal deliberation. The second is a large A1 poster featuring Onimusha: Way of the Sword, an exclusive item for magazine subscribers.
Further content in this issue explores the current surge in co-op gaming, with the PC Gamer team presenting their recommendations for the best cooperative experiences available, ranging from social to competitive titles. The issue also features hands-on previews of several other upcoming games, including the dark fantasy action-RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker from the director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, as well as Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Wardogs, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Flask, Carcass Clad, and Brigador Killers.
In the reviews section, PC Gamer offers its verdicts on a variety of recent releases, such as Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, Moonlight Peaks, Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations, Meccha Cameleon, Denshattack!, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok. The magazine also includes a mod spotlight on a World War II-themed Doom II mod serving as a prequel to the Trench Foot mod, a reinstallation of the narrative adventure game 1000xResist, and a diary entry following a woodsman's survival in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Additional features delve into the phenomenon of the Chinese indie game Scroll of Taiwu and its extensive script translation, a hardware group test evaluating mid-range graphics cards including the AMD Radeon 9070 GRE and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, and the team's current gaming experiences in titles like Bugaboo Pocket and Fields of Mistria. The issue also revisits Dave the Dive and Maneater, and details the creation of the water technology in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.
