When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. (Image credit: Future) This month PC Gamer delivers world-exclusive access to Doom: The Dark Ages, Bethesda's bombastic new FPS that sees the Doom Slayer rip and tear across medieval hell with an insane arsenal of deadly weapons and a brand new Shield Saw. And, for any gamer who is a long-term Doom fan, The Dark Ages sure feels like it is a return to the series' roots, with the Doom Slayer now less reliant on the balletic acrobatics of Doom Eternal, and more on hyper-violent ground-based combat. And, with more demons than ever, as well as a rideable dragon and super-sized mech to pilot, The Dark Ages is dialing the action up to eleven, too. Rip and tear across medieval hell, until it is done. (Image credit: Future) This issue also features another fantastic feature. As huge fans of both the Fallout and Stalker series of games, Rebellion Developments' Atomfall, an action-survival FPS set in the post-apocalyptic British Lake District, has got us seriously hyped. As such, we travel to Rebellion to go hands-on with the game for several hours, as well as interview the studio's CEO Jason Kingsley about this passion project. With great insight into the studio itself, as well as a game that could very well go on to become a cult classic, this is a must-read feature. PC Gamer gets the inside scoop on Rebellion's new post-apocalyptic action-survival game, Atomfall. (Image credit: Future) Then, in terms of previews, we go hands-on with the exciting new game, Blades of Fire, which brings God of War and Dark Souls together to deliver a third-person action-crafter where enemies can be dismembered in showers of blood. Epic! Plus, we also preview Jump Ship, Fellowship, Mecha Break, Overwatch Stadium, Solasta 2, Pax Augusta, Old Skies, Captain Blood, The Horror at Highrook, Empyreal, and Wheel World.
