This month we get world exclusive access to the fantastic new
post-nuclear apocalypse RPG, Broken Roads, with never before seen
screenshots and art, as well as insightful dev commentary and our
opinion after a lengthy hands-on play session. If you liked the original
two Fallout games you're going to get on very well with Broken Roads,
with an isometric view, deep character mechanics and the ability to
explore the apocalyptic remains of Australia on offer. Oh, and did we
mention you have the ability to drink loads of different beers and
commit bloody violence? Mad Max eat your heart out!
Leaning into
the apocalyptic angle of Broken Roads, we've also got a fantastic
feature this issue on the very best post-nuclear apocalypse PC games of
all time. From Fallout to Stalker and onto Metro and more, we highlight
the games that let you have plenty of fun while surviving in an
irradiated wasteland. And, talking of surviving, this issue also boasts
an awesome feature on horror survive-'em-up The Outlast Trials. It's not
a game for the faint of heart!
Venturing into previews land this
issue, we've got a selection of fantastic new games to get excited for,
including XCOM-style WWII turn-based tactics game Classified: France
'44, racing game management simulator F1 Manager 2023, team-based
dino-slaying MMO Exoprimal, old-fashioned FPS spellcaster Immortals of
Aveum, unique boomer shooter Hellscreen, and knee-dragging,
