Only a month has gone by since Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor launched into Early Access, and already it has managed to become a massive success. And when I say massive, I really do mean that as the Funday Games team have just revealed that Survivor has sold more than 1,000,000 copies!
In order to bump those numbers even further, the developers have also announced that a brand new biome, the Salt Pits, will be launching on March 20th. As you would expect from the name alone, the defining feature of the Salt Pits will be a variety of stalagmites that not only look pretty, but can also used as impromptu weapons against the bugs.

If you're in the mood for filling out your backlog with even more games you don't have time to play, you'll be delighted to hear that Steam's Spring Sale 2024 has now arrived! Much like its predecessors, it brings with it a boatload of discounts across a wide variety of games and genres.
For those of you that have no clue where to even start, allow me to share with you a couple of games that have managed to catch my eye - all of which are currently on a sizable discount. Without further ado, here's the brief list in no particular order:
Darktide devs are aiming to rework the Crafting and Achievement systems, as well as add new Content throughout 2024

[Update #2]: Darktide's Path of Redemption update has added a free Battle Pass, numerous cosmetics, Tox Bomber enemy and more.
[Update]: Darktide's April update is adding a new enemy, puzzles and fresh way to collect cosmetics.
Quite a few months have gone by since Darktide's last content update, but I'm happy to say that the mysterious Fatshark has now finally emerged from its burrow and signaled the end of winter. In other words, we have finally received a small blog post explaining what exactly the studio is currently working on!
First and foremost, the Darktide team is planning to do a comprehensive revamp of the penance (achievement) system. While the actual details are still few and far between, the goal is to not only add a whole bunch of new cosmetics to play Fashiontide with, but to make them a lot more interesting to collect as well.
Helldivers 2's Cutting Edge update has added a variety of new energy weapons

[Update]: Helldivers 2 is getting a bunch of very explosive new weaponry on April 11th.
A little over a month has gone by since launch, and already the Helldivers 2 team has released a bunch of new weapons to toy around with. They have all arrived as a part of the new Cutting Edge 'Battle Pass', though don't worry about this being paid DLC as the Super Credits required to purchase all of them can be found in-game easily enough.
As for the actual weapons, the new arsenal includes a fast-firing laser rifle, a plasma shotgun, a laser pistol and my personal favorite, a lightning shotgun! Naturally, there's also a couple of new armor sets to collect, a fancy stun grenade, new cosmetics, as well as new emotes to goof around with.
Dragon's Dogma 2 will be launching on March 22nd, 2024, over a decade after the original

It took an incredibly long amount of time for us to finally get here, but I'm happy to say that Dragon's Dogma 2 is nearly upon us! You can expect to see it launch onto PC and consoles on March 22nd, 2024 - nearly twelve years after the original!
Much like its predecessor, Dragon's Dogma 2 will have you make a party with up to three AI companions and set you loose to explore a gigantic world. Along the way you'll likely encounter all sorts of danger you'll need to fight in classic action-RPG combat, though with a bit of an important twist. Instead of simply hitting giant enemies in the toes and hoping that's good enough, Dragon's Dogma 2 will once again have you crawl all over them in order to annoy them, briefly incapacitate them or even bring them down so you dish out some serious damage.
Helldivers 2 Beginner's Guide - Eleven simple tips and strategies to help you get started

- in Tips and Guides
As I've mentioned throughout my review, Helldivers 2 can be a remarkably challenging game despite its bravado, over-the-top weaponry and care-free attitude. This mostly comes from the simple fact that the player characters are not super heroes. Getting run over by the bug version of a bulldozer or hit in the face with a rocket will generally kill you outright, even if you're wearing an entire fridge's worth of armor.
So in order to help you not only survive these circumstances, but also thrive in the war against both the Automatons and the Terminids, allow me to share with you some important tricks and strategies I uncovered after spending more than 80 hours dispensing freedom throughout the galaxy. Without further ado, let us begin!
Helldivers 2's first balance update has now landed, and it's unfortunately a very messy one

[Update]: Helldivers 2's Cutting Edge update has added a variety of new energy weapons, including a lightning shotgun!
As I've detailed throughout my review, Helldivers 2 has a very serious balance problem. A good chunk of the weapons and stratagems are simply too weak to deal with enemies on the higher difficulties, which then directly leads to many players running basically the same generic loadouts as those are the ones that can reliably get the job done. Needless to say, it's not an ideal situation.
So in order to sort this out, as well as fix a couple of bugs, the Helldivers 2 team has now launched their very first balance update. Unfortunately, it's very a messy one!
