Sarah'due south earliest gaming memories involve playing Jet Set Willy on the ZX Spectrum at a friend's house. These days, and when not writing guides, most of her spare fourth dimension goes into MMOs—though she'south quite partial to JRPGs besides. She has spent much of the last decade playing the likes of Star Wars: The Old Republic, TERA, Last Fantasy 14, and Globe of Warcraft. Sarah has been writing about games for several years and, before joining PC Gamer, freelanced for the likes of TechRadar, GamingBible, and Stone Paper Shotgun. One of her fondest hopes is to i day play through the catastrophe of Last Fantasy X without breaking down into a sobbing heap. She probably has more wolves in Valheim than you.
