PC Gamer UK September issue: Dragon Age – Inquisition

Every year, PC Gamer's global team are locked into a inescapable hell-world of their own creation. It is a time of pain, of suffering and of brutal, violent arguments about whether Doom 3 is better than No One Lives Forever 2. We call this waking nightmare The PC Gamer Top 100, and we've only gone and done it again. You'll find this mega-list inside the September issue of PC Gamer UK, on sale now. We're sorry that [INSERT GAME HERE] didn't make it to [INSERT POSITION HERE].

With the list done, Evan escaped into a fantasy world of Bioware's making. Our cover feature this month is Dragon Age: Inquisition. We get exclusive access to the RPG sequel, and see how its makers plan to once again reinvent the RPG genre. Meanwhile, Sam, Chris, Tom, Phil and Ben sign up for even more punishment—this time at the hands of Andy in Arma 3's Zeus DLC. As well as a great story, their adventures produced one of our silliest photoshoots in some time.

Ruddy hell, there's more! This month, we're giving readers a Steam key for Shattered Haven , Arcen's chilling game of environmental puzzles and survival. The issue, which is in shops now, can be ordered through My Favourite Magazines . Digitally, you'll find it on the App Store , Google Play , and Zinio , and you can subscribe to get issues delivered directly to your door. Read on for a look at the subs cover, and a round-up of the features to be found in issue 269.
