Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work.
just delivered a feature players have been asking for since the game debuted in early access in February: offline mode. As of today, solo survival fans will no longer be at the whims of servers in order to jump into the fae realms of the gaslamp fantasy base-builder.
There are new monsters to encounter in the world as well, and apex creatures will now come in three tiers, with higher tiers delivering higher quality drops. New NPCs have also appeared, including some major historical celebrities like Edgar Allan Poe and Joan of Arc. Help them out with their quests and you'll gain access to new gear like Poe's writing desk and J of A's sword.
But among all those changes, offline mode is probably the highlight of the patch for a lot of players. The initial response to Nightingale was good, though server issues were an early problem, and that goes double for people playing solo: there are few things as aggravating as trying to play a game by yourself but having your fun interrupted by a server issue that doesn't feel like it should have any effect on you.
That plan changed once Inflexion realized how many players were interested in an offline solo experience, and the studio prioritized the community request. Now, Flynn is hopeful to bring back players who may have drifted away from the game shortly after it launched.Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
