PC Gamer UK November issue: Pillars of Eternity

Over 70,000 people pledged over $4 million to bring Pillars of Eternity into existence, and we think that's a fact worth celebrating. So stand tall and proud, armoured fantasy man, for your triumphant cover pose represents the confident return of the old-school RPG. No, no, don't worry. There is definitely not a dragon sneaking up behind you.

That's not all. This issue you can get a free Steam key for Space Hack, and an exclusive New Players Pack for The Secret World. The issue, which is in shops now, can be ordered through My Favourite Magazines. Digitally, you'll find it on the App Store, Google Play, and Zinio, and you can subscribe to get issues delivered directly to your door. Read on for a look at the subs cover, and a round-up of the features to be found in issue 271.

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.
