Ciri from The Witcher 3 in Skellige

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise given that it was leaked multiple times last month, but Steam's Lunar New Year Sale has now arrived with a whole bunch of discounts. Unlike the usual sales, however, the Lunar New Year Sale will only last for a couple of days, or until February 19th to be specific. So if you were planning to fill out your backlog, you might want to hurry up lest you miss your chance.

If you're not exactly sure what to grab, allow me to give you a couple of suggestions. These are obviously going to be biased towards my specific tastes, but since all of them are fairly cheap games I'd say it's well worth giving them a look regardless. Anyway, here's the somewhat brief list:

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 screenshot of a Dwarf Slayer in action

If you would like to help the heroes from Vermintide expand their pest control business to include the forces of Chaos as well, you'll be glad to hear that Fatshark has just announced that Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will be coming to PC this March 8th. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are also planned, though their release date has not been revealed just yet. The announcement is expected to arrive in the near future, however, so make sure to keep an eye out.

In terms of content you can expect a whole bunch of new maps, three new specializations for each of the heroes, a reworked equipment system that will give you far more control over your character's playstyle, and naturally, a whole bunch of spiky Chaos forces to endlessly battle against. If you're wondering what this might look like in-game, wonder no more as the developers have also released a brand new gameplay preview. Have a look:

Dungeons 2 screenshot of Goblins reveling in their piles of gold

Dungeons 2 is a faithful homage to the original Dungeon Keeper, and it pretty much hits all of the same notes when it comes to the gameplay. In other words, Dungeons 2 is all about creating you very own underground fortress, populating it with a variety of monsters and traps, and then crushing anyone even remotely heroic that dares enter your domain. 

If this sounds like something you would love to try out, you're in luck as Dungeons 2 is currently free to grab over at GOG. That said, the offer will only last for another 20 hours as of time of writing, so do make sure to snatch it before it goes away. You don't even need to install it, just add it to your GOG account and you'll be golden.

Official artwork for Total War: Arena

Total War: Arena is a free-to-play spin-off of the main Total War series. Instead of the usual Total War duels, Total War: Arena features 10vs10 RTS battles where each player controls only three units, though each of those can be customized in a variety of ways. It's a bit of a different take on the Total War formula, but from what little I've played it is one that has a decent amount of potential.

So if you would like to give Total War: Arena a try and see if it's something you could sink your teeth into long-term, you'll be glad to hear that it will be heading into Open Beta this February 22th. The transition to Open Beta will also be marked by the release of Hannibal Barca and his Carthaginian army... and yes, they will have elephants!

For Honor screenshot of a knight from up close

For Honor is a highly competitive game that relies on precise movement, attacks and blocks. As such, it was quite strange to see For Honor launch with absolutely no dedicated servers, essentially leaving players at the mercy of other people's Internet connections, with the results being about as predictable as you would imagine.

A whole lot of time has passed since launch, but I am quite happy to say that For Honor will soon be getting its much-requested dedicated servers. And when I say soon, I really do mean soon because the fifth season "Age of Wolves" will be coming later today, while the dedicated servers will be following suit only a few days later, on February 19th!

Total War: Warhammer 2 screenshot of Malekith attacking on the Steps of Isha maps

Sega's annual Make War Not Love event is currently ongoing, with each day bringing with it a brand new challenge and brand new prizes. And what better way to kickstart the event than with a bit of free DLC for Total War: Warhammer 2 - the "Steps of Isha" map pack.

The four new maps offer "striking visions of the High Elven lands, with a focus on their highly magical landscape." In terms of gameplay, however, the maps are focused around formidable defensive positions that discourage direct attacks, though with plenty of side-routes to take and potentially ambush from. It's nothing too out of the ordinary for Total War: Warhammer 2, but having more maps to endlessly wage war on is always a good thing in my book.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance screenshot of knights in combat

After many teasers, previews, and developer updates, the medieval RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance has now finally arrived for PC and consoles. As expected from pretty much any open-world game these days, the full release has brought with it a whole host of bugs and technical issues, though it doesn't appear to have affected the reviews very much as Kingdom Come: Deliverance currently stands at a 74% approval rate on Steam - pretty impressive for what is essentially a niche RPG.

If you're interested in seeing what Kingdom Come: Deliverance is all about, as well as get a good look at the highly praised visuals, you'll find two of the recent trailers down below. The first video is the launch trailer that will give you a general idea of what to expect, while the second is a developer-guided gameplay video that should clue you in on how the combat and quests work.
