With so many features packed into the latest issue of PC Gamer US, something was bound to burst out. And wouldn't you know it, it's Rico Rodriguez! The protagonist of that most video games of video games, Just Cause 3, is also the cover star of our April issue. Andy grappled into Avalanche HQ and nabbed all the info he could find about the absurd action sequel, turning that intel into our 8-page lead feature.

We didn't stop there. Also in this issue: Joe Donnelly talks to the makers of Enderal, the most ambitious Skyrim mod to-date; Andy experiences the Dark-Souls-meets-Shadow-of-Colossus world of Titan Souls; Evan checks out the rats of Warhammer Vermintide; and Joe Skrebels takes a fresh look at Battlefield: Hardline. Video games!
