Nat Smith

Senior Staff Writer

Nat was a senior staff 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 Zenless Zone Zero, she’s probably starting yet another playthrough of Elden Ring. Outside of guides, she’s known for her reviews and features. Don't ask her to choose her favorite Baldur's Gate 3 companion - you'll never get a straight answer.
