It's all about looking for clues and visiting the past this week, so let's get started.

Welcome to This Week in PC Gaming, the show that takes a look at new games, updates, and more coming at you over the next week, every week, until the end of time. Or until the world ends, maybe.

This week we're fighting your old dad in lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, solving crimes in futuristic detective sim Chinatown Detective Agency and visiting the past in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 hits cinemas on April 1 in the UK and April 7 in the US, if you're ready for more nostalgic fun.

Lauren Aitken
Guides Editor

The first three games Lauren played on PC were Star Wars: X-Wing, Zoo Tycoon and Barbie Fashion Designer, which explains her love of all things space, strategy and aesthetically pleasing. Lauren recently took over as PC Gamer's Guides Editor after three years of writing many dozens of Destiny 2 guides at VG247, as well as casually trying to shoehorn in The Witcher 3 articles wherever possible. When she's not trying to force everyone to play as a Warlock in Destiny 2, Lauren is either mastering her SEO abilities to help smash the competition, or patting one of her red sons.
