During the console beta announcement for Destiny 2 it was revealed that the PC version will be slightly delayed in order to ensure a quality port. The console betas have by now come and gone, and after a bit of a wait it would appear that Bungie is finally ready to showcase the PC version as they have just announced the Open Beta.
To be more specific, the Early Access phase will begin on August 28th, while everyone else will be able to join the Open Beta on August 29th. As with the consoles, the beta will only last for a couple of days, until August 31st. Its obviously not a lot of time, but it should be enough to give you a good idea on whether Destiny 2 is something you'd have fun playing.
The standalone version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered has now appeared on Steam

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered infamously launched as a part of the rather expensive Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Special Edition package, which obviously ended up turning a lot of people off. As such, you might be glad to hear that the standalone version of Modern Warfare Remastered has just now appeared on Steam, though with barely any fanfare to herald its arrival.
What you might not be glad to hear, however, is that the user reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Apparently the multiplayer scene is completely dead outside of the deathmatch game mode, while optimization and performance issues are so bad they make Infinite Warfare look like a solid PC port. I haven't tried it myself, so take all of that with a few grains of salt, but there do seem to be some genuine problems with Modern Warfare Remastered.
Galaxy of Pen & Paper is a newly released tongue-in-cheek turn-based RPG

Galaxy of Pen & Paper is a newly released turn-based RPG about a group of players enjoying what appears to be a futuristic (and somewhat insane) version of Dungeons and Dragons. As you might expect given the genre, you'll have to create your own party of intrepid adventurers, explore distant planets and fight weird aliens, and most importantly of all, collect tons and tons of equally weird space-loot!
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in gameplay terms, allow me to share with you one of the recent announcement videos. The whole thing is about two minutes long, but it does a rather good job of explaining just what kind of RPG you're getting into. Have a look:
Monster Hunter: World has 14 new gameplay videos showing off the various weapons and combos

The focus in Monster Hunter has always been squarely placed on the combat, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that the most recent gameplay videos for Monster Hunter: World are all about the weaponry. What might come as a surprise, however, is that the developers have released 14 videos in total, each one detailing a different weapon and gameplay style!
Thankfully they have shown mercy to us poor viewers and have eventually condensed all of those videos into three different categories: Light Weapons, Heavy Weapons, and Technical Weapons. So if you're interested in finding out what sort of weapon you'll 'main' in Monster Hunter: World, all three of the compilation videos await you right below. Have a look:
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is free to try out on Steam for the next two days

To say that the PC version of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has been met with mixed reviews would be one hell of an understatement. Despite launching back in November it still suffers from numerous performance issues across a variety of hardware, and it doesn't appear like any of that is going to be getting fixed any time soon. A real shame since apparently the multiplayer is quite enjoyable, if you're a fan of the genre anyway.
Given the circumstances, I am glad to say that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is going to be free to try out for the next two days on Steam. This way you'll be able to find out whether the performance issues are as bad as people say, and whether the multiplayer gameplay is as enjoyable as the previous games, all without having to shell out €60 beforehand!
Doomfist has now arrived to Overwatch alongside some very welcome balance changes

After what feels like an entirety on the PTR, Doomfist has now finally made its way to Overwatch's live servers. He is quite a bit weaker than his initial incarnation, but worry not as he is more than capable of absolutely annihilating anyone that's dumb enough to stand in his way. Doing so is not going to be easy, however, so be prepared for a bit of a learning curve when it comes to mastering Doomfist.
Unlike the previous heroes Doomfist has arrived alongside a surprisingly awesome action-trailer, so if you're interested in seeing what he's capable of I would fully recommend you check the video out. Have a look:
Heroes of the Storm devs have released a spotlight video for the upcoming Garrosh Hellscream

When Blizzard originally announced Garrosh Hellscream as the next Heroes of the Storm character I envisioned him as a bloodthirsty brute, constantly on the offensive and never backing down no matter how dire things may appear. The Garrosh Hellscream we'll be getting, however, is much different... and sadly, much more boring.
If you're wondering what exactly I'm blabbering about, allow me to share with you the recently posted spotlight video. It'll give you a pretty good idea of what Garrosh is capable of and why I consider him to be so bland despite his World of Warcraft variant being quite flavorful. Have a look:
