Editor-in-Chief

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.

Mr Whiskey, a guy in a mascot suit, pours a measure of Jack Daniels into a cup of coffee in Dispatch.
Dispatch's original script would've let you pick 3 heroes like 'starter Pokémon', snagging Invisigal, Waterboy, or Mr Whiskey to pull under your wing
 
 
Three jacketed figures look down into the camera in Shadows of Doubt.
The world's busiest toilet temporarily made detective sim Shadows of Doubt a murder-free zone: 'You can't always legislate for the fact that everyone's going to need a wee at midnight'
 
 
Robert, the protagonist of AdHoc Studio's dispatch, stands in a crammed elevator full of superheroes.
Dispatch proves the death of Telltale-style games was a mere mirage, as it rakes in 2 million players: 'Wouldn't be here without you'
 
 
The developer of 80 Days was once invited to pitch a Doctor Who game, but never heard back from the BBC afterward: 'Technically, we're still waiting for a reply'
 
 
Robert, the protagonist of Dispatch, looks over his shoulder while in conversation with a superheroine.
There is no glitch—turns out, you need more than just heroic dialogue choices to get Dispatch's best ending, you've gotta be good at your job, too

Arc Raiders skins: Key art showing three characters. The one on the left is wearing a blue pincho and holding a pistol ready at their hip. The middle figure is wearing a brown poncho and cowboy hat, facing the camera with a pistol across their chest. On the right is another character in a brown poncho and hat but facing away.
I ranked Arc Raiders skins based on how likely I am to shoot them on sight, and I've become the thing I swore to destroy
 
 
A patrol of rat soldiers in War Rats.
This rat-obsessed strategy shooter makes you look at a pair of furry testicles before every mission, and you've got to respect that
 
 
Arc Raiders loot guide: Three raiders standing shoulder to shoulder in Buried City. The one of the left is reaching for something in their pocket, the character in the middle, wearing an astronaut helmet, is casually looking up, while the one on the right in cowboy attire is aiming their pistol.
Arc Raiders players want to condemn free loadouters to a life of late spawns, but I don't think anyone should arrive midway through a match ever
 
 
A dog running through a forest surrounded by enemies in Dog Witch.
This lo-fi roguelike deckbuilder is like if someone made a version of Slay the Spire for when you've got a hangover

Fortnite's The Simpsons season is one of the best in ages—here are 4 things Epic should learn from it
