Guns of Icarus Online is a steampunk airship combat game with a heavy focus on cooperation. In other words, you and your fellow teammates will each have to take on a certain role (Captain, Gunner, or Engineer), and then try to bring down enemy ships through a combination of teamwork, tactics, and trickery... or just fall out of the sky because your Engineer decided to take a coffee break.
If this sort of multiplayer madness sounds like something you would love to toy around with, you'll be glad to hear that Guns of Icarus Online is free to grab for the next two days. Simply head on over to the Humble Store, grab your Steam key, and you'll be playing in no time. If you need a bit more information, however, allow me to share with you the original launch trailer. Have a look:

AER is a colorful open-world exploration game set on a planet filled with a variety of floating islands and strange creatures. There are absolutely no enemies to fight or gear to collect - its just you, your ability to transform into a bird at will, and a whole bunch of secrets, puzzles, and story clues to discover.
Since trying to explain these types of games through words alone is mostly a pointless task, allow me to share with you the recent launch trailer. It should give you a pretty damn good idea of just what to expect from AER. Have a look, its quite a relaxing video:
GOG's annual Halloween Sale has now arrived with some rather deep discounts

If you've somehow managed to avoid all of the various sales this month and you're looking to fill out your backlog, you're in luck as GOG's annual Halloween Sale has now begun. The special 'gimmick' this time around is that if you spend $15 or more you will get Tales from the Borderlands for free, which is actually a pretty damn amazing gift since Tales from the Borderlands is a remarkably charming adventure game.
For those of you that aren't exactly sure what to grab throughout the sale, allow me give you a brief list of games I would definitely buy again if I didn't already own them. That said, I'm primarily going to be focusing on the depth of the discount, so while there are some awesome high-priced games out there, I'll try and ignore them in favor of older, cheaper, and just as good ones. Anyway, here's the list:

After many, many teasers Total War: Warhammer 2's Mortal Empires campaign has now finally arrived. It brings with it a combined campaign that features both of the maps from Total War: Warhammer 1 and 2, as well as all of the Legendary Lords and the factions they lead. The end result is an absolutely massive world full of unique factions to befriend, conquer, or some combination of both.
Besides the combined map, Creative Assembly has also added a whole bunch of quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and balance adjustments. If you're interested in Total War: Warhammer 2 changes in specific you should head over to the official website. On the other hand, if you're wondering how all of the old races have been rebalanced in order to compete with the new and shiny ones, you'll find the second set of patch notes over at the Total War subreddit.

If you're getting close to your season goal in Gwent, you might want to start pushing a little bit harder as the current Ranked Play season is set to end next week. To more specific, the season will be ending on Monday, October 30th at 12pm CET.
Outside of the top 1000 custom portraits and border, all of the rewards will be distributed according to your season high. So if you've just reached a new rank, feel free to continue playing as you risk to lose absolutely nothing. As for what exactly the rewards are, you can find out by going to the options tab in-game. Its not exactly the most elegant or obvious place to store such information, but at least the rewards are pretty damn good for the effort involved!

If you're looking for a blast from the past, you might want to give the most recent Humble "Day of the Devs" Bundle a look as it comes with some great oldschool adventure games. There's Grim Fandango Remastered, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Full Throttle Remastered, as well as a variety of other indie games.
You'll find the full list of games, as well as the pricing tier they appear in, down below. That said, it is worth mentioning that the Day of the Devs VIP Ticket is for an event in San Francisco this November 11th, so if you're not anywhere nearby you might as well ignore it. Anyway, here's the list:
Total War: Warhammer 2 devs have released detailed patch notes for the upcoming and massive Mortal Empires update
- By Ash
- in News
Total War: Warhammer 2 will be getting an absolutely massive update later today: the Mortal Empires combined campaign. As you might deduce from the name alone, the new campaign will be a combination of the maps from Total War: Warhammer 1 and 2, as well as all of the factions and Legendary Lords that inhabit them.
Since every single faction is going to be able to fight against each other, having Total War: Warhammer 2 balanced is going to be of the utmost importance as even a slight power difference can drastically reshape how the entire campaign plays out due to the sheer volume of races. As such, I am very glad to say that Creative Assembly has announced that the Mortal Empires update will be followed by an equally massive patch.
