PC Gamer has been around for a long time now, and boy do we have the magazine archive to show for it. When you start sifting through the pile, some years stand out for their historical leaps in technology or gauntlet of big releases—looking at you, Baldur's Gate 3 summer—and then there's 2011. A lot happened in 2011.

More quizzes!

When it comes to new game releases, 2011 was a year for the books. I'm not going to start naming every new game that launched back then, lest I give away too many hints about the trial ahead, but I will say I still have a few 2011 games in my backlog. It's been 15 years, so it's probably time I admit I'm not going to play them, but I'm stubborn and still a constant victim of impulse Steam sale purchases.

My bad financial decisions aside, to celebrate a year of bangers (and some tragic misfires), I've gone through the PC Gamer magazine archives and selected 17 reviews to quiz you on. You've got 20 minutes to guess them all based on a single line of text and the score from our review.

Andrea has been covering games for nearly a decade, picking up bylines at IGN, USA Today, Fanbyte, and Destructoid before joining the PC Gamer team in 2025. She's got a soft spot for older RPGs and is willing to try just about anything with a lovey-dovey "I can fix them" romance element. Her weekly to-do always includes a bit of MMO time, endlessly achievement hunting and raiding in Final Fantasy 14. Outside of those staples, she's often got a few survival-crafting games on rotation and loves a good scare in co-op horror games.
