With Total War: Warhammer 2 just around the corner Creative Assembly has started releasing a barrage of videos showing off the vast majority of new features. Just the past few weeks alone we got a campaign preview for the Dark Elves, a battle between the Dark Elves and High Elves, then a campaign preview for the High Elves themselves, and now the Lizardmen are getting the same treatment.
So if you're interested in seeing what the Lizardmen are all about, or what sort of spells Lord Mazamundi has at his disposal, you'll find the most recent "Campaign Let's Play" right below. Have a look, its quite interesting:
Pankapu is a cartoony action-adventure that lets you swap between character classes at will

Pankapu is a colorful action-adventure that will have you constantly shift between multiple character classes in order to deal with a variety of traps and enemies. Along the way you'll explore levels filled with hidden collectibles to uncover, 35 new skills to unlock, and a bunch of giant bosses that would love nothing more than to smash you into the ground.
If you're interested in seeing what all of this looks like in-gameplay terms, allow me to share with you the launch trailer. Its not very long, but it has enough gameplay to give you a really good idea of what Pankapu is all about. Have a gander:
The HD version of Okami will be coming to PC and consoles later this year

Okami is an action-adventure quite similar to The Legend of Zelda series, though with a couple of unique twists that really set it apart from the rest of the genre. What I mean by this is that you play as an adorable wolf god with some rather potent powers that can only be unleashed by literally painting them into existence! It sounds quite silly right now, especially if you've never played Okami, but its a surprisingly enjoyable mechanic.
So if you've never laid your hands on Okami, or if you're itching for a version with even prettier visuals, you'll be glad to hear that Okami HD has now been announced. Since a lot of Okami's charm is based on its visuals and atmosphere, I'd recommend you check out the recently posted trailer down below. Have a look:
Warframe devs have released a lengthy preview of the new Plains of Eidolon open-world zone

During the recent TennoCon convention Warfarme developers announced a whole bunch of new and upcoming features. You can expect to see the usual batch of new weapons, Warframes, Prime Warframes, and cosmetics, though all of that pales in comparison to the Plains of Eidolon - a brand new expansion centered entirely around MMO-like open-world content with plenty of replayability.
The first of these massive open-world zones will be the Plains of Eidolon, an area populated by traditional enemies such as the Grineer during the day, and rather enormous monstrosities known as the Eidolons throughout the night. If you're wondering what all of this nonsense might look like in-game, wonder no more as the Warframe developers have now released an extended gameplay preview. Have a look, its quite interesting:
Overwatch will be free to try out on both PC and consoles next weekend

I have no idea why today is so special, but quite a few games have just announced free weekends or giveaway. The multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight is having a free weekend, the original Psychonauts is completely free to grab from the Humble Store, Ubisoft is running a free weekend for The Division, and now Blizzard is joining the fray with the biggest game of them all - Overwatch.
However, while the previously mentioned offers are valid for this weekend, the Overwatch free trial has been scheduled for the next one. To be more specific, you'll be able to test out everything Overwatch has to offer from September 22-25 on both PC and consoles. And if you end up buying it, all of your progress and earned Loot Boxes from the free weekend will carry over to the full version, provided you got it on the same account.
The First Tree is a stylish exploration/adventure game starring an adorable fox

The First Tree is a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son trying to reconnect with his father in Alaska. While the two stories will be intertwined, you will only be guiding the fox on her rather strange journey to the source of all life.
Since this is a deeply atmospheric game, and one that isn't as cheerful as it appears on the surface, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer so you'll get a good idea of what to expect. Have a look, its quite the sight to behold:
Steam is offering Dark Souls 2 and 3 at a massive discount until Monday, September 18th

The Dark Souls series represents some of my favorite games of all time, and despite finishing each of them multiple times I am always eager to jump back in and see what sort of silly build I can pull off. As such, I am very happy to say that both Dark Souls 2 and 3 are currently massively discounted on Steam, and will remain discounted until Monday, September 18th. So if you ever wanted to give the series a try, now would be the best time to do so!
As a part of the Bandai Namco publisher week Dark Souls 3 is 60% off and will set you back €24, while you can grab Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the Sin Edition (including all of the DLC) for a rather low €10. If you're going to grab only one I would suggest you go with Dark Souls 2 simply because its cheaper. Both games are excellent in their own way, however, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you choose.
