What's your 'back on my bullshit' videogame?

I'm talking about your default, go-to game that sucks you in for hours and suddenly the day is gone. Mine has got to be Final Fantasy 14, so if you ever desperately need to get in touch with me and don't know how, I'm probably on a losing streak in FF14's ranked PvP queue.

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.
