Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus will be coming to PC and consoles this October 27th. With the release date just around the corner I'm sure many of you are wondering whether your PC can even run it, which is why I'm glad to say that Bethesda has now finally revealed the PC system requirements, as well as all of the extra features that come with the PC version.
If you're interested in learning what sort of settings and graphical options you'll be able to toy around with, you should head on over to the Bethesda blog as its a bit too lengthy to cover in brief. On the other hand, if you're just interested in the system requirements you'll find them right below. Have a look:

If you ever wanted to give Deus Ex: Mankind Divided a try, but you didn't feel like dropping €50 for the honor, you'll be glad to hear that its currently free to play on Steam. I unfortunately caught this promotion a bit late so there's only 27 hours left, but it should be more than enough to let you know whether Mankind Divided is the type of game you'd enjoy or not.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will also be on a 75% discount until October 27th, which should give you enough time to both play the game and consider whether you want to actually buy it. And naturally, all of your progress will carry over to the full version, so feel free to try it out for as long as you want.
The PC version of Destiny 2 has now landed on Blizzard's Battle.Net client

[Update 2]: Bungie has now released an official response. They have only banned 400 people, and none of them were banned for using an overlay or performance software, but rather for cheating.
[Update 1]: If you're using any software with an overlay (Mumble, Discord, etc.) there is a chance your account could get automatically banned. As such, I'd recommend waiting a couple of days for Bungie to sort this whole mess out.
[Original Story]: After a rather lengthy delay, the PC version of Destiny 2 has now finally appeared via Blizzard's Battle.Net client. Besides the improved visuals and performance, the PC version brings with it an uncapped framerate, support for resolutions up to 4K, and the usual batch of PC-exclusive options to fiddle with.
Whether its any good or not, however, that's a difficult question to answer. From what I've seen online most people agree that Destiny 2 is pretty damn fun, albeit short-lived. Unlike Destiny 1 the sequel barely has any endgame to speak of, and with the rewards being given out entirely at random there is almost no incentive to repeat some of the hardest dungeons out there. So if you're going to grab Destiny 2, make sure you're doing so for a 'one-and-done' type of playthrough or else you might just found yourself sorely disappointed.

It hasn't been very long since Hollow Knight's first content update arrived, and already we are getting a second wave of free goodies. Once October 26th rolls around Hollow Knight will be getting a brand new major quest and accompanying boss fights, 4 new charms that come with unique skills and abilities, a whole bunch of new enemies to fight against, and naturally, a variety of quality-of-life changes.
While the recently posted trailer won't exactly give you a good look at all of the new features coming in with "The Grimm Troupe" expansion, it will at least get you into the right mood. Have a look, its quite an intriguing video:
Star Wars Battlefront 2's latest trailer offers a closer look at the singleplayer story

Star Wars Battlefront 2 will be coming to PC and consoles this November 17th, bringing with it a much larger variety of content than its predecessor. There will be a whole bunch of planets and maps to explore, a space-based combat mode with its own mechanics and unique vehicles, a plethora of different weapons and vehicles from some of the most popular Star Wars time periods, and most surprisingly of all, a singleplayer story starring an Imperial commander.
The recently posted trailer won't offer you much of a look at campaign gameplay, but it will give you a good idea of just what kind of storyline the developers are aiming for. Have a look, its not a very long video:
Today's Battlerite update will add a new game mode, rework the talent system, and improve the UI

Today's Battlerite update is going to be a very important step towards the full free-to-play release. Besides bringing with it a greatly improved user interface, the pre-launch patch will also rework the Battlerite system, add a brand new game mode, as well as rebalance some of the more oppressive heroes and abilities. On first glance this might not sound like much, but when it comes to the actual gameplay the effects are going to be rather immense!
The new Battlegrounds game mode will be all about capturing points and completing objectives during which one team will play as the attackers and one as the defenders. This will be an entirely casual (and unranked) game mode designed around quick bursts of fun, but since it will feature all of the same spells and abilities it will also serve as an excellent place to practice new heroes without letting your team down.
The oldschool-looking isometric CRPG UnderRail will soon be getting a proper world map

UnderRail is an isometric, as oldschool as it gets, turn-based CRPG set in a post-apocalyptic future where the surface has been rendered inhospitable and where the remnants of humanity now dwell in caves and ancient metro tunnels. Just imagine a combination of Fallout and Metro and you'll be on the right track as far as the setting is concerned.
While UnderRail is definitely not a game for everyone, I must admit I had a great deal of fun playing it, at least until I reached the later portions of the game and started getting lost over and over again. Turns out navigating complex mazes of caves and tunnels is not exactly an easy task without a proper map to guide you. As such, I am very happy to say that the developers are now working on a global map to make navigating the massive world just a bit less confusing!
