[Update]: Surgeon Simulator 2 has just made its way to PC alongside a new multiplayer mode and level editor.
While the premise behind the original Surgeon Simulator was fairly stupid, the actual gameplay ended up being remarkably fun, especially once all of the updates rolled in and added a bunch of new content for free. If you share the sentiment, then you'll be glad to hear that Surgeon Simulator 2 will be coming on August 31st, 2020.
It'll bring with it a variety of new scenarios and surgeries to bungle up, co-op mode for up to four players in order to give your patients the least possible chance of survival, and most importantly of all, the ability to create and share your very own levels! While the details are still few and far between, you'll apparently be able to do everything the developers themselves are capable of, so I'm fully expecting to see absolute madness from day one.

[Update #2]: Rebellion has released a brief preview highlighting everything shown so far.
[Update]: Rebellion has now released a lengthy and highly detailed gameplay preview for Evil Genius 2!
Much like the original from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, the upcoming Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a satirical simulator about trying to take over the world through a variety of nefarious means. Expect to do dastardly things like building an evil lair, recruiting and training an assortment of disposable henchmen, 'politely' dealing with any sort of special agents that might want to unravel your plans, and most importantly of all, creating a giant death-ray or something equally ridiculous!
If you're curious what all of this nonsense looks like in actual gameplay, you'll be happy to hear that Rebellion has now released a fairly lengthy preview. Have a little peek:

[Update #2]: After multiple delays, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is now fully ready to launch.
[Update]: Kena: Bridge of Spirits has been pushed back to 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic.
Besides being downright adorable, the newly announced Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a story-focused action-adventure about a young spirit guide that has to restore the balance of nature while figuring out what exactly caused the demise of her village. In order to achieve this you'll have to face off against a variety of corrupted monsters, team up with an assortment of cutesy companions, solve puzzles and uncover secrets, and slowly but surely restore the beauty of the world.
Given that the atmosphere and visuals are half of the appeal in Kena: Bridge of Spirits, allow me to stop babbling and instead share with you the announcement trailer. Have a gander, it really is a beautiful-looking game:
Remnant: From the Ashes' final piece of DLC - Subject 2923 - is coming this August

[Update #2]: Remnant II has now been unleashed, and so far it's looking quite good!
[Update]: Good news! Remnant: From the Ashes is getting a bigger and bolder sequel!
As I mentioned in my review, Remnant: From the Ashes is a pretty good game that has the potential to become genuinely amazing with just a few changes. All it really needs is more interesting boss fights, a wider variety of items and weapons to toy around with, as well as some more diverse content to explore.
With all of that in mind, I'm pleased to say that the newly announced (and sadly final) expansion Subject 2923 is looking to bring exactly that! Expect to see a brand new campaign that features two new worlds to explore, an assortment of massive bosses to tackle, and perhaps most importantly, a whole host of new weapons and modifications to help customize your playstyle. There will also be improvements to the Survival and Adventure mode, as well as brand new rewards to find throughout both modes.

Since that has probably left you more confused than anything else, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. Have a look, it'll clue you in quite quickly on just what Foreclosed is trying to achieve:

If you ever wanted to play around with so many dinosaurs that the very concept of riding a raptor starts to sound a bit mundane, you might want to check out ARK: Survival Evolved as it's currently entirely free. Simply head on over to the Epic Games Store, grab yourself a copy, and you'll be able to play whenever you want.
As you might expect, there is a bit of a time limit to this giveaway. So if you're interested, do make sure to grab ARK: Survival Evolved before June 18th, as that's when it'll be replaced by Pathway and The Escapists 2.

If you're a fan of ridiculously large ships, you should definitely check out Elite Dangerous' newest update. As the title would suggest, the update has brought in the rather impressive-looking Fleet Carriers that can be tailored to support any play style, as well as offer a whole host of services like the ability to rearm, refuel and repair smaller ships on-the-go.
True to their name, the Fleet Carriers can host up to sixteen smaller ships, thus giving you a perfect platform to meet other players and explore the universe alongside good company. It also helps that the Fleet Carriers have a 500-light-year jump range, as well as pretty much everything you could possibly need already onboard, so once you get a good group going, you'll have very little reason to leave.
