PC Gamer's Best Ongoing Game award celebrates an older game that stood out in 2022 through updates, new content or support. This year, we're honouring Fatshark's co-op FPS Darktide, which overcame last year's rough launch through continued updates. This year, it became the game it always promised to be. For more awards, check out our Game of the Year 2023 hub.
Robert Jones, Print Editor: Even knowing Fatshark's heritage in needing to seriously keep developing its games after release, I was still absolutely mad as hell when Warhammer 40,000: Darktide launched. The game was not only so janky and broken that, one time, it took me seven crashes with restarts to finish a single run, but it also shipped with key chunks of the game missing. It wasn't just me who was spitting with rage, either, with thousands of reviews on Steam at launch leading to the game getting a 'Mostly Negative' badge of shame.
