Eleven great PC games not to miss in September
Centuries from now, physicists puzzling over the practical realities of time travel will look back on spring and summer 2020 with a mix of wonder and horror at how we've managed to make them disappear.
It's extraordinary to think that we're almost six months on from the date that lockdown was imposed here in the UK, and yet the calendar doesn't lie. Many of the biggest releases of the year have of course been pushed back by Covid-19 and its ripples across the industry, but that doesn't mean there's nothing going on in September - far from it. And as our list of games not to miss in August so ably proved with its prediction that Fall Guys would become a hit, some of the very best games can come out of the indie and mid-tier side of the business.
This month, we put the spotlight on upcoming games from a wide range of genres - sometimes within the same game. Highlights include a retro sci-fi Soulslike in which your decisions have narrative and gameplay consequences, an experimental lo-fi creative game that allows you to paint overgrown post-apocalyptic scenes, and a rhythm-FPS that finally cements Doom's flirtation with metal at a gameplay level.
