The monster game season is upon us, with release of the epic Diablo IV, and early access for Baldur’s Gate III. Get these ones played hard now, before Starfield comes at the start of September – you won’t want to miss them. 

Baldur’s Gate III is an exquisitely created RPG world that embraces classic design and gameplay mechanics, and with the most wonderfully lush and detailed game world to get lost in. It blew us away, and you really should jump into the early access to see for yourself.   

All of that in between some hardcore Diablo IV,  of course. Check out our full review in this issue to find out what all the fuss is about. 

In hardware, we’ve assembled a nice collection of wireless gaming headsets. There were some budget surprises here, too, proving that you can have an amazing gaming audio experience without spending silly money. 

Elsewhere, we’ve checked out the tremendously exciting DLC for CyberPunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, and it looks absolutely radical. There’s been so many tweaks to the way the game world and characters operate that it has to be on the must-play list when it arrives. Check out PCPP’s thoughts now, and start getting excited.

That, plus reviews of all the best new releases and previews for everything that matters on the gaming radar.
