[Update #2]: Assassin's Creed Valhalla has now arrived, and unsurprisingly, it's pretty good.
[Update]: Ubisoft has now detailed the PC system requirements for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
While most games are being delayed these days due to the ongoing pandemic, Ubisoft has decided to take a bit of a different route with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Instead of launching on November 17th as previously planned, Valhalla will be landing on November 10th alongside the Xbox Series X.
Naturally, this new release date includes all of the different versions. So regardless if you're planning to play on Xbox One or Series X, PlayStation 4, PC or even Google Stadia, Valhalla will be fully available on November 10th.

[Update #2]: As a small holiday present, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning has added a new Arena Mode.
[Update]: Fatesworn, Kingdoms of Amalur's first modern expansion, will launch on December 14th.
While not revolutionary by any stretch, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was a remarkably enjoyable action RPG. It had the tendency to get repetitive after a while given that it was originally designed as an MMORPG, but if you could get past that, there was plenty of landmarks to discover and baddies to beat up.
If you've never given it a try and you're now curious what all of the fuss is about, you're in luck as the newly remastered version has just arrived. Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning brings with it improvements to the camera controls, a variety of bug fixes, slightly improved visuals, and from what I can tell, a bit of an overhaul of the original's difficulty curve. Needless to say, these aren't the biggest changes in the world, though thankfully Kingdoms of Amalur wasn't a game that required them either.

[Update]: Path of Exile's latest update has now arrived with loot-filled vaults and daring heists.
Path of Exile's updates, especially the recent ones, are anything but predictable! Last time around Grinding Gear Games introduced farming (the plant kind) as a way of gathering new items and resources, while the upcoming patch is promising devious team-based heists on vaults filled with ancient treasures!
In the appropriately titled Heist update you'll need to first discover the location of a valuable artifact and the defenses that safeguard it. Once you have all of the details, you'll be able to hire skilled thieves and specialists in order to help you bypass the traps, avoid the patrols, and steal everything that isn't thoroughly nailed down!

Rogue Factor, the team behind Mordheim: City of the Damned, have now returned with yet another Warhammer themed strategy game. However, while Mordehim was set within the Warhammer Fantasy universe, the freshly launched Necromunda is all about the dystopian landscapes of the Warhammer 40k future.
When it comes to the gameplay, Necromunda will have you take control of one of three unique gangs as they attempt to wrest control of the entire hive city. You'll need to equip and specialize each of their members, send them off on a variety of missions to improve your standing, and naturally, engage in fierce battles against opposing gangs using a combination of melee and ranged weaponry.

[Update]: Wasteland 3 update has improved loading times by up to 60% on PC.
Wasteland 3 has been in development for quite a few years now, with its original Fig crowdfunding campaign dating all the way back to October of 2016. If you've been with it since the very beginning, you'll be very happy to hear that the long wait is now finally over as Wasteland 3 has just recently made its way to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Much like its predecessor, Wasteland 3 is a turn-based RPG that sports a variety of difficult and meaningful choices, both in and out of combat. Best of all, with plenty decisions to make and consequences that might not be immediately apparent, you won't really have to worry about saving and reloading constantly in order to get the 'most optimal' outcomes!

[Update]: Horizon Zero Dawn PC Update 1.05 has fixed even more crashes and performance issues.
The PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn landed onto Steam a little while ago, and unfortunately it did so alongside a variety of issues. Not only was the performance spotty at the best of times, but there were also a whole bunch of annoying crashes and bugs to contend with, even during normal gameplay.
The developers quickly set out to fix these problems, and through the next few updates have managed to significantly improve the PC version. The newly released Patch 1.04 is no exception as it brings with it solutions for multiple crashes, performance improvements, and perhaps most importantly of all, a fix for the strange mouse sensitivity issues that have been around since day one.
