If you've never tried any of the various Paradox grand strategy games, but you have at least some passing interest in them, you're in luck as the latest Humble Bundle is full of some great examples. It features strategy games such as Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 3 and Stellaris, as well as slightly different but still enjoyable games like Pillars of Eternity and Magicka 2.
You'll find the full list of games, as well as the tier they appear in, right below. Before you do so, it is worth mentioning that the bundle also includes a 10% off coupon for the Humble Monthly Bundle, something that might be of interest to you given that this month's featured game is Civilization 6. With that said, here's the list:

After quite a few patches and a whole lot of time in Steam Early Access, the underwater exploration/survival game Subnautica has now finally released. So if you were waiting for the developers to polish up all of the content before giving it a try, now would be the time to dive in as the current version of Subnatuica is pretty damn good!
If you're unfamiliar with Subnautica, or if you're just wondering how much the game has improved since it first released in Early Access, allow me to share with you two of the recent trailers. The first is the cinematic trailer that sets up the story and atmosphere, while the second one showcases the actual gameplay. Have a look:

After a whole bunch of teasers and gameplay previews, Total War: Warhammer 2's very first full DLC "Rise of the Tomb Kings" has now arrived. It brings with it a brand new faction with four unique Legendary Lords, an army roster that consists of skeletons and giant stone constructs, unique campaign mechanics and research options, the ability to craft items and Regiments of Renown, and the list goes on.
Rather than to continue babbling on about what the Tomb Kings are all about, allow me to instead share with you one of the recent gameplay previews. It's not very long, but it should give you a pretty damn good idea of how the Tomb Kings work and what exactly makes them special. Have a look:

Far Cry 5 is set to arrive this March 27th for both PC and consoles, bringing with it a larger world and a whole host of visual improvements over Far Cry 4. As such, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the recently revealed PC system requirements are a bit steeper than usual, though I do imagine you could probably skirt on by with something lower as long as you are willing to fiddle with the graphics options.
Besides the simple "minimum" and "recommended" PC system requirements you'll find below, Ubisoft has also revealed the type of hardware you'll need if you plan on playing Far Cry 5 in 4K resolution. Here's the full list:
Steam will be holding a Lunar New Year sale from February 15th to 19th

If you're looking to fill out your backlog and you've somehow managed to avoid the dozens of sales that happened during these past few weeks, you're in luck as a brand new Steam sale is just around the corner. According to SteamDB who have managed to get their information through Steam Direct, the next Steam sale will run from February 15th to 19th in order to coincide with the Lunar New Year festivities.
Naturally, none of this has been officially confirmed just yet, but SteamDB has been pretty damn accurate in the past, so given that their source is Steam itself odds are they are going to be correct on this one as well. Besides, it makes a lot of sense for Valve to release a massive sale during a holiday where it's customary for people to give children and young adults money.

After spending quite a while on the PTR, the much-anticipated Blizzard World map has now finally arrived onto the live servers. As expected, it also brought with it a variety of Blizzard themed cosmetics, as well as a couple of extra ones that were only announced during the last few days.
But first things first, if you're wondering what exactly Blizzard World looks like, you'll find one of the original trailers right below. It won't show you a detailed overview of the whole map and the various routes it houses, but it should be enough to give you a general idea of what to expect. Have a look:

With most Final Fantasy games already on PC, and Final Fantasy XV coming in the near future, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the remastered version of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age will arrive soon as well. In terms of content the PC version will bring with it support for ultra-wide monitors and 60 FPS, new game plus and minus game modes, the ability to shift between the various soundtracks at will, full controller support, as well as the usual slue of Steam-related features.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in-game, wonder no more as the developers have recently posted a fairly lengthy trailer. There isn't much actual gameplay on display, but you should still get a general idea of what Final Fantasy XII is all about. Have a look:
