Total War: Warhammer 2 screenshot of Lizardmen fighting Dark Elves

While Total War: Warhammer and its sequel are one of the easiest Total War games for new players to jump into, they are still incredibly complex and full of hidden elements you need to pay close attention to. For example, you can smash two armies together and win through sheer strength alone, or you could exploit the enemy's weak leadership with strategic flanking attacks and monstrous infantry to break them before they even deal any damage. The end result is the same, yet the latter tactic will leave you with a much healthier and battle-ready army afterwards.

So if you're new to the Total War series, and especially if you're new to Total War: Warhammer 2, you'll be glad to hear that Creative Assembly has now released a series of guides covering pretty much all of the major gameplay elements. You'll find the various beginner guides over at the official website, and I would heartily recommend you give them a look as the extra knowledge will greatly enhance your campaign experience.

Cities: Skylines Green Cities expansion screenshot of an eco-friendly store

After somewhat ridiculous content like blimps and giant monorails, Cities: Skylines will soon be going eco-friendly with the new Green Cities expansion. As you might expect from the premise alone, there will be a variety of new structures and parks, electric cars and public transportation, alternative service buildings, eco-friendly stores, and the list goes on for quite a while.

Besides the paid content, the expansion will also bring with it a rather significant free update. The details are unfortunately still a bit shaky, but it would appear we'll be getting electric cars, road modding, changes to the whole pollution mechanic, more beautification options in the form of extra parks and trees, as well as a variety of similar features. You can get a good glimpse at what all of this looks like through the recently posted teaser trailer down below. Have a gander:

Assassin's Creed: Origins screenshot from the From Sand cinematic trailer

After a rather lengthy hiatus following the somewhat disappointing Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, the series will be making its hopefully triumphant return with Assassin's Creed: Origins next month. It will bring with it a setting not often seen in gaming, a somewhat realistic depiction of Ancient Egypt, as well as a variety of gameplay improvements, the most important of which is the shift from 1-on-1 dueling to a more tactical system that rewards stealth, positioning, and clever usage of gadgets above all else.

While the recently posted cinematic trailer will not give you a good look at the gameplay, it will at least show you what sort of theme and visuals the developers are aiming for. Have a look, the trailer is quite a sight to behold:

Gwent artwork for the Mahakam Ale Festival special event

Following in the footsteps of Hearthstone's adventures, CDPR has just released the very first seasonal event for Gwent - The Mahakam Ale Festival. It consists of three singleplayer duels with custom decks, unique new cards, some rather funky new rules, and naturally, an optional hard mode that offers even greater rewards. If you manage to complete all of it you'll also be given an exclusive Odrin player icon and a surprisingly good-looking flagon themed border.

The whole process, including all of the hard modes, took me around 50 minutes to complete, and I am very glad to say that those 50 minutes were well spent! The only real complaint I have with The Mahakam Ale Festival is that there isn't enough of it, but that will hopefully be rectified in future events given how positively the community has reacted to this one. Oh, and its also worth mentioning that the event is completely free to enter. So if you have Gwent installed, go and give it a look, its damn good fun!

Official artwork and logo for the Ruiner game

Ruiner is a stylish and fast-paced cyberpunk shooter that will have you slice, shoot, explode, and vaporize your way through hordes upon hordes of heavily armed enemies. As you might expect from a cyberpunk game, in order to make any of this possible you will be given access to a variety of augmentations, hacking tools, high-tech guns, ridiculous melee weapons, as well as a whole bunch of gadgets such as energy shields and dash boosts.

A lot of Ruiner's charm is based on the visuals, music, and action, so rather than waste your time explaining things through words alone, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. Its a little bit... out there, but it should still give you a good idea of just what kind of game you're getting yourself into. Have a look:

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus screenshot of a fire-breathing metallic dog

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus will be sending us to Nazi-controlled America in order to clean up the place, by which I mean obliterate everything even remotely hostile with an arsenal of increasingly over-the-top weaponry. What you might not expect, however, is that Wolfenstein 2 will have a heavy focus on storytelling and character development, in addition to all of the wanton destruction.

With Wolfenstein 2's launch date fast approaching the developers have now released a rather lengthy gameplay preview showing off the war-ravaged streets of New Orleans. More importantly, the gameplay video features both action and story, so if you're interested in finding out what Wolfenstein 2 is all about this would be a very good first stop. Have a look:
