If you're wondering how all of this might translate into a multiplayer campaign, allow me to share with you the recently posted developer preview. It's unfortunately a bit light on action, but it is an insightful video regardless. Have a peek:

While most games get criticized due to some of their design issues, things are a bit different with Apex Legends. The core gameplay was and still is extremely solid, but it is the numerous bugs and technical problems that have held the whole experience back ever since launch.
Respawn promised they would fixed all of the issues nearly a month ago, and while no major updates have been added since then, it would appear that they are finally getting close to nailing most of egregious bugs. According to the latest developer update, the problems with hit registration, the health bug that affects Cuastic and Gibraltar, laggy servers and audio problems will be all be getting fixed next patch.

After quite a few years in development, the highly atmospheric and often bizarre adventure game Pathologic 2 will be coming to PC this May 23rd. Much like the original, you can expect Pathologic 2 to bring with it a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, plenty of unique and outright crazy characters, as well as a story that is anything but straightforward.
While all of this is incredibly difficult to showcase through a single video, I'd say the recently posted trailer does a pretty good job of establishing just what Pathologic 2 is all about. Have a gander, it's certainly an interesting one:

The Witcher 3's Geralt made his way into the console versions of Monster Hunter: World all the way back in February, bringing with him a whole bunch of content to mess around with. Quite a few months have passed since then, and while the wait certainly wasn't easy, I am happy to say that The Witcher 3 crossover event has now finally made its way to the PC version as well!
Instead of being a simple cosmetic re-skin, Geralt has arrived alongside his own unique quest and voice acting, equipment, combat moves, as well as two new bosses to face off against - the Leshen and its significantly more dangerous counterpart, the Ancient Leshen. As is tradition, the crossover event has also brought in a variety of Witcher-themed gear to craft, both for yourself and for your Palico companion.
Blood: Fresh Supply, a remastered version of the classic horror FPS, has now arrived

Out of all the "Build engine" games I've played, and this includes classics like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, the original Blood has always been my favorite. It had a rock solid atmosphere, one of the best oldschool shotguns, a nice variety of enemies, plenty of dynamite to throw around, as well as a deviously challenging difficulty that resulted in my younger self being glued to the screen for days on end.
With that in mind, I hope you can realize just how happy I am to announce that Blood: Fresh Supply, a remastered version of the original horror FPS, has now made its way to PC. Here's what it looks like in action:

League of Legends is giving players a chance to decide which champion gets reworked next

Given how old League of Legends is and how many characters it currently has milling about, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that some of them need a bit of help in order to stay relevant. And since they couldn't decide which one to rework next, Riot is now giving the community a chance to make that choice for them.
The five lucky candidates are: Fiddlesticks, Shyvanna, Nocturne, Dr. Mundo and Volibear. Besides the obvious tweaks to their abilities and playstyle, the rework will also spruce up the chosen champion's visuals, story, animations, voice acting, skins, and pretty much everything else. So whatever champion you decide to go with, know that they will be getting the full treatment!
