I've worked at PC Gamer for 18 years. These are the 13 games on my Steam Wishlist
A PC Gamer editor with 18 years of experience shares 13 Steam Wishlist games spanning niche genres like deckbuilders, tactics, and mecha, reflecting personal preferences and upcoming releases.
A veteran PC Gamer editor has curated a Steam Wishlist of 13 games, prioritizing niche genres such as first-person shooters, deckbuilders, and tactical titles over mainstream releases. The list includes long-awaited projects like *Anvil Empires*, which has been in development for years without a confirmed release date, as well as anticipated sequels such as *Dawn of War 4* and *Divinity*. The editor highlights preferences for mecha-centric games, retro-inspired multiplayer experiences, and intricate pixel art, reflecting a taste for both modern and classic gaming styles.
Among the selections are *Front Mission*, a spiritual successor to a beloved PlayStation series set in 1970s Southeast Asia, and *SS13*, a multiplayer sandbox praised by *DayZ* creator Dean Hall for its old-school approach to storytelling. The list also features *Despot’s* cinematic universe entry, a recently showcased *Siege* spinoff, and *Foxhole*’s upcoming persistent medieval strategy MMO, slated for a 2027 release. Titles like *Hunt: Showdown*, the editor’s most-played Steam game, and *Hooded Horse*’s mecha TTRPG adaptation further emphasize the editor’s eclectic tastes.
The editor also includes management sims like a studio-running MMO title, where game leaks are part of the gameplay, and *Grim Dawn*, a decade-old bullet-hell roguelike with punny charm. A *Command & Conquer* successor with striking art direction and a patient developer, last seen at the 2023 PC Gaming Show, rounds out the list. The inclusion of *Oxygen Not Included*’s multiplayer mode, featuring simulated gas and liquid systems, underscores the editor’s appreciation for systemic gameplay.
The curator, Evan, has been with PC Gamer since 2008, overseeing global editorial operations after years in reviews and news. His FPS favorites include *Hunt: Showdown*, *Team Fortress 2*, and *Counter-Strike*, with a lifelong passion for the genre sparked by *Quake 2* played on LAN in his uncle’s basement.
