This issue, we tackle the biggest game on PC right now: the seemingly unstoppable PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Chris Livingston visited Bluehole's South Korean studio to find out the story behind the battle royale shooter's surprising success. We also get exclusive access to the upcoming desert map and new vaulting mechanics. You'll find it all in this month's massive eight page cover feature.
Elsewhere, Fraser Brown details the history of Civilization—talking to every lead designer of the stately 4X series' six main games. It's a fascinating look at the evolution of an enduring classic. Also, Andy talks to adventure game designers about the future of the point 'n' click, and we put gamepads to the test in our hardware roundup. All that, and this month's free gift: an Onslaught skin for Paladins: Champions of the Realm beefcake Fernando.
