Rock Paper Shotgun is a UK-based website that covers PC games, including reviews, news and features. It regularly publishes informal staff round-ups in which writers discuss the games they expect to play outside work.
The games mentioned range from long-running online titles such as Overwatch and Hunt: Showdown to single-player games including Skyrim and Darkwood. Some games cannot be named before their release because journalists may be under embargo, an agreement not to publish details until a set date.
These pieces are mainly a way for the site’s writers and readers to share recommendations and personal plans. They can also reflect practical issues affecting players, such as game technical problems, travel, illness or family commitments.
