One day, we’ll look back in shame to an era when you couldn’t play in the bathroom. But those days are coming to an end with the arrival of Valve’s hugely popular Steam Deck, which promises to let you take high-end PC games with you on the go. But with Valve’s hardware-soaked history, is Steam Deck the real deal?
We’ve spent a lot of time with the Valve laptop and put it through its paces. Our expert review delves into the power of hardware, how the biggest games work on the go, and how they can completely replace your gaming PC. Across our in-depth feature, we’ll give you everything you need to know – and help you decide if it’s worth your money.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters may have a title full of words, but it also has some turn-based strategy – after all, Warhammer meets XCOM nicely. As towering gray knights compete head-to-head with the diseased powers of the Nurgle, it’s up to you to protect the planets and develop powerful weapons and shoulder-mounted stone pillars on the demons’ heads. Our mega preview has all the details — and we’ve also reviewed this issue of Dune: Spice Wars, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and an alternate Stone Age of Stardew Valley.
It’s a big deal for reviews, too — we have judgments on all of the bigger releases, which include everything from Dying Light 2, to Total War: Warhammer III, to Sifu. In Hardware, we took a comprehensive look at the gaming power of 12th generation motherboards. And that doesn’t even mention all the features, news, regular users, and more that you’d expect from the best gaming magazines out there. We’ve been regularly working from 9 to 5 in Red Dead Redemption 2.
