Some of you love building a PC. You re well into hardware trends and technical innovations and model numbers and all of that. This is fine and valid. But a lot of players are just not interested. They love games on the PC, but the machinery itself is irrelevant. I am one of those people.

I m not totally clueless. I know some basics. I can put a machine together, given the parts. But once it s working, I jettison all hardware knowledge so I can make brainspace for more Dessa lyrics or oblique Due South references. This becomes a problem when I can t put off buying or upgrading my PC any longer. Such as now.

To that end, I have cornered RPS Hardware Empress Katharine to ask for her advice. If you re looking to upgrade your ageing PC funbox but don t want to study every hardware development of the last ten years, here’s everything you need to know about buying a new PC in 2020.

The first Ni No Kuni game arguably pulled off the biggest art coup in the history of games: getting the renowned Japanese animation giant Studio Ghibli to magic up a living, breathing game world that looked (and sounded) just like their beloved films. Its sequel, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, never benefited from the same Ghibli wizardry as its predecessor, but put the two side by side and you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference. Sure, Revenant Kingdom doesn’t have the same Ghibli film-grade cutscenes to sit back and admire, but this handsome JRPG is still a spell-binding entry in Level-5’s ever-growing series, and, whisper it, but I think it’s actually miles better than the first one.

A little bit of hardware tinkering later, and the Freedom Wing Adaptor was born – a nifty little box that lets you plug a power wheelchair into an Xbox Adaptive Controller.

See the sights, ride the rights, and extrajudicially murder a riverboat’s worth of masked mercenaries.

This week, City State Entertainment announced a new game. The thing is, City State were kinda supposed> to still be working on Camelot Unchained, a reimagining of fort-fightin’ MMORPG Dark Age Of Camelot. It only rocketed past its two million dollars crowdfunding target a whole seven years ago. But with no release in sight for the long-awaited castle-crasher, CSE is offering its new game to backers for free, insisting its development is a vital part of building Camelot’s massively multiplayer keep.

Frequent Itch.io shoppers will have noticed the store’s gotten rather spooky of late. In the last year, it’s become near-impossible to move for all the retro-styled spookers – lo-fi horror games with few polygons and even fewer pixels. That’s largely down to the devils at The Haunted PS1, a community of indie necromancers fiendishly resurrecting the aesthetics of early PlayStation scares. Now, they’re reviving another long-dead format – free demos.

This Thursday, the group will bring 17 scares to life with The Haunted PS1 Demo Disk, a free collection of 17 short, terrifying indie horror games.

Sundays are for convincing your housemates to play The Quest For El Dorado with you again. Board games are way better than videogames, but here you are, reading the best writing about them from the past week. Sucker.

For Polygon, Simone de Rochefort struggled to fish while roleplaying as Ernest Hemingway in Stardew Valley. This is the best kind of videogame criticism: the kind that teaches you about Ernest Hemingway owning 40 cats.

Careful, you might be getting a little too far-fetched, there. Not For Broadcast is out now in early access, broadcasting live on Steam’s global signal.
