Valheim is great, but does it let you chat with 1800s American journalist Nellie Bly between copper runs? Thought not. But in the Victorian fantasy world of Nightingale, you'll be hanging out with all sorts of colourful NPCs, from real historical figures to fey monsters. It brings together the co-op survival of Valheim with storytelling and world-building like Dragon Age, thanks to a team of ex-BioWare developers, and we've delved into everything from its epic boss fights, to its remarkable player freedom, to its fashionable hats.

Is Elden Ring too hard for you – or even too easy? This issue we've rounded up the best mods for FromSoftware's masterpiece, giving you all the tools you need to mess with the difficulty, take stunning screenshots, become invisible, learn new spells, and more.

The Witcher 4 has finally been announced, and we've dug up all the information on the hotly anticipated sequel – including quotes straight from the devs. Will it restore CD Projekt RED's sullied post-Cyberpunk 2077 reputation? Too early to say – but we're happy to do a bit of speculating…

In previews, we've gone hands-on with smart and silly sim Two Point Campus, narrative sci-fi adventure Star Trek: Resurgence, and Superfuse, an action-RPG that lets you craft your perfect superpowers. And over in the hardware section, we're finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel that is the graphics card shortages, as well taking a journey back in time by perfectly recreating a 90s gaming PC.

Issue 358 is on shelves now and available on all your digital devices from the App Store and Zinio. You can also order directly from Magazines Direct or purchase a subscription to save yourself some cash, receive monthly deliveries, and nab snazzy subscriber-exclusive covers.
