Bio: Nat is a Guides Writer at PCGamesN. Come rain or shine, she’s here to help you through the toughest soulslikes, RPGs, and horror games. When she’s not wishing on banners in Honkai Star Rail, she’s probably starting yet another playthrough of Elden Ring. Outside of guides, she’s known for her reviews and features, from her Starfield review to her critical exploration of Amnesia The Bunker and WWI poetry. She’s also a champion of indie games, and has attended WASD on a number of occasions for PCGamesN. Don't ask her to choose her favorite Baldur's Gate 3 companion - you'll never get a straight answer.
