  • I find about 20-25% of Retrogamer still worth reading. I wonder if it’s as much because it feels like they are retreading old ground or dredging up obscure and not especially interesting content.

    Sadly Wireframe is no more, that was my favourite magazine of the last few years… I enjoy Switch Player and Debug Magazine, but these are both boutique low run mags that you need to order directly. I don’t rate the mainstream gaming magazines much, to be honest.


  • Does your local library membership include electronic magazines via an app like PressReader? Mine does and there are a ton of free magazines of all genres. In general they have the last three months worth of issues and it might help you find one you like before you buy a paper copy (if indeed that’s your style). Subscriptions are nearly always massively cheaper than buying in the shops.

    I particularly enjoy Uncut, as being the best of all the music magazines IMHO. One of the only ones I read cover to cover is Linux Format. And I have a subscription to Retrogamer, but to be honest that’s not very good anymore and I won’t be renewing it.
