Crystal Dynamics have announced their plans for the future of Marvel’s Avengers game

Much like Anthem, the recently launched Marvel's Avengers has run into quite a few problems with its endgame. Not only does the combat get very repetitive very quickly due to a lack of enemy diversity, but there's also problems with the loot being unexciting and the endgame boss fights more tedious than anything else.
In order to address some of these issues, as well as let the community know what's happening, Crystal Dynamics have now released a lengthy developer update. Here's a brief rundown of what you can expect to see over the coming weeks and months:
Charming turn-based roguelike Crown Trick has now landed onto PC and Switch

Crown Trick is a charmingly animated and newly launched turn-based roguelike. While it's not the most original premise in the world, Crown Trick is nevertheless well polished and filled with enough content to keep your occupied for quite a while. So if you're a fan of both genres, I'd say it's probably worth giving it a closer look.
Speaking of which, you can get a pretty good idea of what all of this looks like in action through the freshly posted launch trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:
The highly destructive action-roguelike Noita has now been unleashed from Steam Early Access

- in Indie Games
After going through a whole bunch of major updates, the action-roguelike Noita has now finally been completed. Version 1.0 brings with it a bunch of new content and quality of life improvements, an even greater appetite for rampant destruction, and most importantly of all, a procedurally generated world where every single pixel is simulated!
Since that last part might not sound all that impressive on paper, allow me to also share with you the recently posted trailer. It'll clue you in quite quickly on just how crazy the combat in Noita can get. Have a gander:
Cris Tales, a hand-drawn homage to classic JRPGs, has been delayed until 2021

- in Indie Games
Much like the oldschool JRPGs from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, the upcoming Cris Tales is all about wondering across the world, recruiting and befriending a variety of characters, and then facing off against a whole host of enemies in turn-based combat. Things do get a lot more interesting when you consider that Cris Tales also features time-travel and allows you to visit individual locations in the past, present and future!
Unfortunately, as neat as all of that sounds, there is one bit of bad news. Instead of releasing this November 17th as previously announced, Cris Tales has now been pushed back to early 2021, with no exact release date set just yet.

After recently announcing the PC system requirements for the upcoming Watch Dogs: Legion, Ubisoft has now turned their gaze towards Assassin's Creed Valhalla. So if you're curious what sort of PC you'll need in order to run Valhalla this November 10th, you'll find the minimum and recommended requirements below.
Before you dive in, it is worth mentioning that these three configurations are only a chunk of the permutations Ubisoft released, mostly focused around the low to mid-range PCs. As such, if you're looking to push your PC to the limit, you should hop on over to the official website for the full list. For now, however, here's a general overview of what you'll need to run Valhalla:

If you're a fan of repeatedly getting punched in the face, or whatever it is that people do in fighting games, you might want to check out the currently ongoing Humble "Let's Fight" Bundle. As the name would suggest, the bundle is filled with all sorts of fighting games, both serious and somewhat comedic in nature.
When it comes to the games themselves, you can find the full list, as well as the pricing tier they appear in, right below. Have a look:
Stardew Valley's upcoming Update 1.5 will add splitscreen co-op for both PC and consoles
- By Ash
- in Indie Games
Despite releasing all the way back in 2016, Stardew Valley has steadily been adding heaps and heaps of new content and quality of life improvements. For example, last year's Update 1.4 brought a lot of new heart events to help flesh out your love interests, added the ability to raise fish, introduced a social tab to help keep track of your fellow villagers, and the list goes on for a while.
With all of that in mind, I'm rather delighted to say that Stardew Valley will soon be getting yet another one of these chunky content patches! While the full list of changes is still shrouded in mystery, Update 1.5 will bring with it one very often requested feature - splitscreen co-op!
