PC Gamer UK returns to the fallow fields of Poddington-on-Cast. It's an idyllic place, and, as the days stretch on and the hot takes bloom, the team wonder if they've finally found peace. Alas, a cutlass is no substitute for a scythe, especially when thrown at a head with unerring accuracy. The screaming of skulls distracts from the toil of manual agriculture. And what's with all the seeping, toxic gas? As if that all wasn't enough, it turns out the money's gone bad.

Games discussed: Tom Clancy's The Division, Hitman, Stardew Valley, Devil Daggers, No Man's Sky.
