Excited to get your Spartan kicking action on for the next Assassin’s Creed entry? So are we! We’ve gotten some hands-on time with Odyssey, and you can find out why we’re keen for more in this latest issue of PC PowerPlay.
Elsewhere in the issue, we catch up with latest indie hits, go all in on testing AMD’s new Threadripper 2 processor, and we wrap the latest gaming headphones around our listening gear in the search for that perfect in-game audio experience - and we think we might have found it! Plus, we fall in love with Wreckfest, suck some blood in Vampyr, fight Cold War in Phantom Doctrine, and even kill a few virtual zombies in latest VR experience Simosity.
We’re on sale now! Or subscribe here.
