Dying Light 2 review artwork and logo

Dying Light 2 is a game that tries to take itself seriously with a bombastic plot and massive stakes, yet it's at its best when you're smacking bandits off buildings with your magically enchanted table leg of pyromania. Even climbing up to the rooftop is just as much fun as chucking someone off it, because between the expansive open world and some top-notch parkour movement, messing around in Dying Light 2 is a delight!

So if you're curious about how Dying Light 2 compares to the original, as well as what the narrative is even all about, allow me to share my thoughts after spending about thirty hours falling off all sorts of buildings!

Dune: Spice Wars official artwork and logo

[Update #2]: Following in the same footsteps as Northgard, Shiro Games have now released Dune: Spice Wars into Steam Early Access.

[Update]: Shiro Games have finally announced a release date for Dune: Spice Wars - April 26th, 2022!

Developed by Shiro Games, the team behind the excellent Northgard, Dune: Spice Wars is an upcoming real-time strategy game with 4X elements. As you might imagine from that alone, Dune: Spice Wars is all about using subterfuge, political intrigue, economic supremacy, as well as a healthy helping of all-out warfare in order to secure as much of the precious spice for your house as possible.

If you're wondering what all of this looks like in action, wonder no more as Shiro Games have just released the very first gameplay preview. Have a peek:

[Update]: No Man's Sky's April 2022 Outlaws update is all about space combat and skirting the rule of law.

Continuing on with their seemingly endless quest to improve everything about No Man's Sky, Hello Games have now unleashed yet another chunky new update! The appropriately titled Sentinel update brings with it an overhaul of the combat system, a couple of interesting new sentinel enemies to fight against, more variety in the sentinel weaponry and combat strategy, as well as a bunch of visual improvements to make these new battles look as snazzy as possible.

Most importantly of all, the Sentinel update has also brought with it new AI companions! By reverse-engineering one of the sentinel drones you can create your very own (and very adorable) drone companion, while the trusty Minotaur exocraft can now not only be upgraded with an AI core that allows it to assist you in combat, but also with fancy new sentinel tech!

[Update]: Monark has now made its way over to PC, and as expected, it's an interesting though deeply flawed game.

After being available on Japanese consoles for a couple of months now, the turn-based RPG Monark will also be heading over to PC and the west on February 22, 2022. Once it arrives it'll bring with it a world trapped under a mysterious mist of madness, a bunch of helpful yet slightly unhinged characters, as well as a whole host of bizarre demons to beat up as you attempt to remedy the situation.

What this looks like in actual gameplay, as well as what the characters themselves are like, that you can get a peek at through two of the recent trailers. Have a gander, starting with the combat focused one:

[Update]: Elden Ring has now finally arrived, though sadly not without some technical problems on PC.

I hope you're mentally prepared to die over and over again, because FromSoftware's latest action-RPG Elden Ring is nearly upon us. Once it arrives this February 25th it'll bring with it a wide open world to explore, an assortment of unique weapons and armor to toy around with, as well as an in-depth storyline co-written by George R.R. Martin.

So if you're curious about how all of this looks like in action, as well as what makes Elden Ring stand out from its predecessors, you'll find your answers in the freshly posted Overview trailer. Have a gander, it's quite a lengthy one:

Subnautica concept artwork for the Below Zero expansion

[Update]: The freshly announced Moonbreaker is Subnautica studio's upcoming miniature-based tactics game.

Instead of going with the safe option and starting development on a third Subnautica game, it seems that Unknown Worlds are currently trying their hand at something completely different. According to the recent press release from their publisher Krafton, the Unknown Worlds team is working on a "wholly unique turn-based strategy game set in a sci-fi world".

I'd love to give you some actual details, but I'm afraid that the full announcement has not been made just yet. As such, the only thing I can really tell you is that Unknown Worlds' still unnamed "Project M" will be launching into Early Access at some point in 2022.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands screenshot for 9.2's protoform synthesis

[Update]: World of Warcraft: Shadowlands' final major Update 9.2 - Eternity's End has now been unleashed!

In sharp contrast to Patch 9.1 that took seemingly forever to arrive, World of Warcraft's Patch 9.2 - Eternity's End will be launching the very next week, on February 22nd or 23rd depending on your region. It'll bring with it Zareth Mortis as a brand new map to explore, a lengthy new raid with 11 bosses to endlessly die against, the return of tier sets, as well as a new progression system that will let you slowly decipher the language of the First Ones.

The update will also bring with it a new Torghast wing to explore, a wide array of new pets, mounts and cosmetic items to collect, along with the ability to finally equip two legendary items at once! And for the first time in Shadowlands, there will also be a brand new Maldraxxus arena accompanying the third PvP season.
