XCOM 2 is such a good game that I feel strange doing my due diligence to explain it to the unfamiliar—but in case you've not heard of Firaxis' turn-based tactics masterpiece, let me lay the grid out for you.
Final Fantasy 14 is a game with, for the most part, solid job design at endgame—Dawntrail's had some bumps in the road but, for the length I've played, class balance has typically been more-or-less decent with only some minor variance and snafus. Outside of the endgame, however, it's all over the shop.
It's a rare delight to discover that a game you hadn't considered not only has an active modding community, but has one with some really clever boffins doing some awesome work. As is the case with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, a game that came out in 2015 but is still receiving new workshop content almost a decade later.
This morning, several of the fine writers on PC Gamer (including myself) were staring at a store page description for Red Dead Redemption on the PlayStation website—trying to figure out just why we were looking at a proud, chest-puffed announcement of a PC port for Red Dead Redemption—a game that hasn't seen a PC release since its debut back in 2010—because, well, it was on the store page for the PlayStation 4.

Fallout London, while «held together with duct tape» by the dev's own admission is an impressive machine nonetheless. Our news writer Joshua Wolens has been having a blast with the behemoth Fallout 4 mod when it's not been booting him to desktop, and I'm chuffed as chips (I felt a British saying was on-theme) to see it stick the landing as well as a mod can be expected to.
The latest Helldivers 2 patch has gone down about as smoothly as a glass full of napalm—chiefly due to some nerfs to the flamethrower, which has sparked a full-on wildfire of criticism so bad the CEO of the studio felt inclined to give a response.
