PC Gamer UK December issue – Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Magpost Uk 285banner

A vent. Spacious, breezy, and filled with giant grates through which to look. A flash of movement? Who's in there. It's Tom Senior, crawling into Square Enix's heavily guarded office. Throwing a flashbang to stun a patrol of accountants – he jumped out and over a stairwell, landing smoothly on the floor below in a glorious flash of yellow light. Through a door was his target: a playable build of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Tom's report can be found as the cover feature of this month's PC Gamer.

Also this issue, Tom Hatfield rounds up the best of the best of GTA 5 mods, and Samuel wonders if Star Wars Battlefront is the FPS that Star Wars fans deserve. We've got free gifts, too. This month, you can get a Steam key for Epigenesis, and unlock Ares and the Destroyer skins for Smite. 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. Below you can gaze upon the luminous subscriber's cover, and find a round-up of the contents of this issue's perspicacious pages.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
