Dead or Alive 6 made its way to PC and consoles on March 1st alongside some rather mixed reviews. Some are complaining about its lack of content and overpriced Season Pass, while others are praising its combat style and gameplay pace, and that's just the broad strokes. Things haven't become much clearer since then either, so trying to figure out whether Dead or Alive 6 is the game for you is a bit of a tricky task.
Thankfully, much like Dead or Alive 5, Dead or Alive 6 has now added a free-to-play version as well. So if you're up for getting some hands-on experience with Dead or Alive 6 and seeing what exactly it's all about, you should hop on over to Steam.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is set to arrive this March 22nd for both PC and consoles, bringing with it a significantly different experience than FromSoftware's previous RPGs. Besides the story taking on a much bigger role, the combat in Sekiro will be noticeably more mobile and aggressive than even Bloodborne's, to the point that you will actually have a grappling hook to help you move around the environment and attack enemies from unexpected angles!
If you're wondering how all of this translates into gameplay terms, as well as what the story itself is all about, allow me to share with you the recently posted preview. Have a peek, it's a highly informative one:

After a couple of beta tests and a whole bunch of previews, The Division 2 has now finally made its way to PC and consoles. It brings with it a variety of improvements over the original, both in terms of visuals and gameplay, as well as a greatly enhanced end-game with more actives to mess around, new modes to explore, and naturally, mountains of loot to acquire.
Perhaps most importantly of all, especially when you consider The Division 1's somewhat mediocre launch, The Division 2 has also arrived alongside some rather solid reviews. While there are still some technical issues that need to be resolved, overall it seems like The Division 2 has more or less delivered upon its promises. So if you're looking for an open-world shooter that won't require months to become fully functional, The Division 2 might just be worth a closer look.

Team Sonic Racing's latest preview shows off what exactly you can customize and tweak

Team Sonic Racing is set to arrive onto PC and consoles this May 21st, bringing with it a variety of Sonic characters, tracks, powerups and music to mess around with. However, unlike the studio's previous Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed kart game, Team Sonic Racing will not have transformable vehicles or any third-party characters.
In order to compensate for this, as well as make the gameplay a bit more interesting, the developers are planning to have Team Sonic Racing be a lot more in-depth in terms of customizing your own gameplay style and vehicle. If you're wondering what exactly this might entail, you'll find the answers you seek in the recently posted preview down below. Have a gander:
Warhammer: Chaosbane Preview - A bit clunky, but there is real potential here

Warhammer: Chaosbane, much like the Diablo series from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, is a fantasy hack and slash that's all about mowing down large hordes of enemies, messing around with a variety of abilities and classes, and naturally, collecting more loot than even the over-the-top Warhammer Fantasy races could ever hope to carry.
If you're wondering what all of this looks like in gameplay terms, as well as how Chaosbane compares to the rest of the genre, allow me to share my thoughts after playing through the Closed Beta. Before we begin, it is important to mention that Chaosbane is a work in progress, so don't judge its faults too harshly as the developers still have a few months to get everything squared up and ready for launch.
