[Update #2]: Fall Guys Season 2 is bringing in a bunch of medieval-themed maps and cosmetics!
[Update]: Fall Guys will be adding a fan-favorite beta level with today's update.
If you're looking for a more lighthearted take on the usual multiplayer formula, you might want to give the newly launched Fall Guys a try. To put it simply, it's a Takeshi's Castle inspired party game for up to 60 players that will have you compete in a variety of physics-based challenges, all the while slowly eliminating the participants until there is only one blob-monster left standing!
Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you one of the trailers. It should give you a pretty darn good idea of just what Fall Guys is really all about. Have a peek:
World of Warcraft devs have revealed their plans for Heirlooms in Shadowlands

[Update #2]: World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion has been pinned for an October 2020 release date!
[Update]: The Shadowlands pre-patch has landed onto the public test servers alongside the leveling rework, class changes and new event!
As you're likely well aware, World of Warcraft's Shadowlands expansion will bring with it a comprehensive rework of the leveling process. Not only will you be able to freely choose which expansions and zones you'll adventure through, but the whole ordeal will be significantly faster than it currently is.
While this is certainly a positive change, the newly increased leveling speed does leave Heirlooms (account-bound items that increase experience gain) in a bit of an awkward spot. So in order to find them a more interesting niche, as well as to stop them from essentially being mandatory, Blizzard has now announced that they are planning to have Heirlooms feature set bonuses in Shadowlands.

Besides the usual support for uncapped framerates and ultra-wide resolutions, the PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn will also come with dynamic foliage, improved reflections, and a whole host of other graphical settings to tweak. Best of all, it'll arrive with a rather handy benchmarking tool that should give you a pretty good idea of just how far you can push your rig.

[Update]: The Destroy All Humans! 2 remake has now been unleashed onto PC and consoles.

It brings with it greatly improved visuals and effects, the long-rumored Area 42 mission, an assortment of unique and frequently obscene weaponry, and most importantly of all, the same style of cheesy humor as the original.
You can get a pretty good idea of what this kind of madness looks like in gameplay terms through one of the recent trailers. Have a peek, it's a certainly a wacky one:

Obsidian's miniaturized survival game Grounded has recently launched into Early Access

[Update #2]: After two years of updates, Grounded has now finally been unleashed from Early Access!
[Update]: Grounded's newest update has added a massive bird and a new perk system!
In a bit of an unusual, though not unwelcome twist, Obsidian has decided to set their newest survival game Grounded not on some sort of bizarre alien planet, but rather in a completely average backyard. The catch, as you might imagine, is that you will be exploring this backyard while shrunk down to the size of an ant!
This kind of miniaturized predicament brings with it a whole new set of challenges and enemies to face off against, as well as an entirely new perspective on the world around you. I just hope you don't mind spiders since they can be absolutely terrifying when they're three times your size and potentially hiding in any sort of nook or cranny!
