Yes my local library does have PressReader and I was thinking of checking out the magazines that way like you say :) There are a huge number of options on there though!
It's a shame that Retrogamer has fallen in quality. Do you know of any other gaming magazines that have pieces worth reading?
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.
Debug sounds interesting. Looking at the website, it sounds like it focuses on upcoming indie games? Is it long form content, or mostly previews/reviews?
It's mostly reviews, previews, short features and interviews. Quite traditional. Issues 1 and 2 are free to download as PDFs on their website if you want to check them out.
