Warcraft 3: Reforged is getting a major balance update in the near future

While Warcraft 3: Reforged has been a bit of a disappointment, there is still hope for it. After all, the base gameplay is still the amazing Warcraft 3 action many of us fell in love with years ago, so as long as Blizzard doesn't give up on it, Warcraft 3 really does have a chance to shine once more.
With that in mind, I'm quite pleased to say Blizzard has now unleashed an absolutely massive balance patch onto the PTR. The experimental update brings with it changes to some of the least used heroes and ultimates, as well as offers a comprehensive rebalance of mercenary camps and the units they sell to the players.

If you're in the mood for a bit of an oldschool experience, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming Pilots of Darsalon. To put it simply, Pilots of Darsalon is a Commodore 64 inspired action game where the flying is heavily based on physics and momentum, quite similar in spirit to 1986's Thrust.
Since that last part has likely made things more confusing than anything else, allow me to also share with you the recently posted trailer. It'll hopefully clue you in quite nicely on what to expect:

If you loved Mortal Kombat 11's campaign and you're itching for even more over-the-top cheese, you might be glad to hear that the very first major expansion Aftermath has now arrived. It brings with it a new cinematic storyline focused around the Fire God Liu Kang, who as you might imagine, is attempting to save the world once more by pitting the various fighters against each other in a series of brutal duels.
To make things a little bit more interesting, Aftermath is also adding three new playable characters to mess around with - Sheeva, Fujin and the guest star Robocop. There will also be three new skin packs, though only the very first pack is available right now. On the positive side, the titular Eternal Klash skin pack does feature some rather nifty skins for Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Frost!

Now that its Epic Games Store exclusivity has run out, the sci-fi thriller Observation has slowly drifted onto Steam as well. Best of all, it has done so alongside a 50% discount that will last until May 28th, bringing the price down to €10.
When it comes to the actual gameplay, in Observation you don't play as one of the characters adrift on the failing space station, but rather as the station's artificial intelligence S.A.M. Your role will be to operate the various systems, cameras and tools in order to assist Dr. Emma Fisher in figuring out what has happened to the station, the missing crew, and perhaps most importantly, yourself.

If turning off your brain and simply mowing down enemies by the thousands sounds like a good bit of fun, you might be happy to hear that Serious Sam 4 will soon be upon us. Expect to see a variety of new and returning enemies, plenty of ridiculous weapons to paint the landscape with, the ability to play the entire campaign in 4-player co-op, and perhaps most importantly of all, the largest horde of monsters the series has seen to date.
As for how exactly any of this translates into gameplay, that you'll find out through two of the recently posted previews. Have a gander, there really is an impressive amount of enemies on display!
Two thirds of the Mafia: Trilogy collection have now arrived for PC and consoles

If you were surprised when 2K Games suddenly revealed the Mafia: Trilogy collection for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, you might be even more shocked to hear that the trilogy has now already launched! However, it isn't entirely complete just yet given that this 'trilogy' currently only contains two games: the most recent Mafia 3, and an HD remaster of Mafia 2.
The most exciting part of the collection, a full remake of Mafia 1, will be arriving on August 28th as a free update for all current and future owners. While the exact details are few and far between, expect Mafia: Definitive Edition to be rebuilt from the ground up with greatly improved visuals and expanded dialogue, more storylines and backstories to explore, additional cutscenes and gameplay features, as well as a variety of other minor enhancements and upgrades.
