Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 screenshot of a sniper perch

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is an upcoming open-world tactical shooter with a heavy focus on player choice. Its going to be up to you to decide how you'll complete each mission, whether this be through pure stealth, over-the-top aggression, a couple dozen well-placed sniper shots, or some sort of combination of those.

Due to a recent delay Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has had its release date pushed to April 25th, so in order to help pass the time the developers have posted a rather lengthy new gameplay video. However, this isn't just any ordinary gameplay video, its a showcase of what exactly it takes to beat a single mission on the hardest difficulty! So if you're interested in some intense sniping action you'll find the video right below:

Clan Raven artwork from the Northgard strategy game

Northgard is a viking themed real-time strategy from the makers of Evoland. In the most basic terms I can describe it as a hybrid between the Civilization and Settlers series, though with less complexity than either of those. What I mean by this comparison is that Northgard shares a similar focus on city-building, resource management, tight production circles, and open-ended playstyles that allow you to do secure victory in whichever way you wish.

After launching in Early Access a short while ago Northgard has now received its very first major update. The definite highlight is the addition of a brand new faction - Clan Raven. They start with the Trading Lore automatically researched and a couple of buffs that directly relate to amassing wast amounts of currency. This directly ties into Clan Raven's ability to pay for colonization with gold rather than food, essentially allowing them to expand at a surprisingly rapid pace. Add to this their unique building "The Harbor" that allows Clan Raven to launch vast amounts of angry vikings to raid all of their neighbors and you've got yourself a clan that can easily outpace the opposition.

Shiness screenshot of a human riding a raptor

Shiness is an indie action-RPG that's all about exploring a colorful world and beating up a wide variety of monsters that inhabit it. This isn't done in the usual RPG combat style, however, as Shiness takes much of its influence from fighting games. As such the combat is all about combos, parries, and carefully timed blocks rather than pure button-mashing.

While the recently posted trailer won't give you an idea of what the combat is like, it will give you a good look at the world you'll be exploring and the music you'll be listening to throughout your journey. So if you're interested in seeing what Shiness has to offer you'll find the video right below:

Killing Floor 2 dual flame revolvers

Killing Floor 2's Descent update recently added two new maps, a new sub-game mode, two unique weapons including the awesome dual flame-revolvers, and a whole bunch of other content. In order to give everyone a chance to play with the new toys Tripwire has made Killing Floor 2 completely free-to-play over the weekend.

So if you're up for some co-op zombie-slaying action with a massive amount of customization you might want to head over to Steam. The free weekend will only last until Sunday night, so make sure to get plenty of playtime in before the whole promotion ends.

Swarm Universe character customization menu

Swarm Universe is a fast-paced top-down shooter with a bit of a twist. All of your damage comes from a swarm that trails closely behind you, so in order to dispatch your enemies you will need to master the movement mechanics and get in sync with your deadly followers to get them to go where you want.

Since this is a bit of a strange concept allow me to show you how exactly this works in-game via the recently posted trailer. Before you dive in, however, I would recommend increasing the volume slightly as the soundtrack is pretty damn good. Anyway, here's the video:

NieR: Automata's main character 2B

NieR: Automata is a pretty damn good game, but as is tradition for any AAA game its PC launch was mired by technical issues. Bugs and glitches aside, the biggest problem most people talk about is the performance, which for some configurations can dip down all the way to 20 FPS despite the hardware being up to par.

If you're one of the players suffering from this issue I might just have some good news for you! The recently updated and completely unofficial FAR patch (Fix Automata Resolution) has added a new option that controls Global Illumination, which if tweaked can result in a massive performance boost for a comparatively tiny decrease in visual fidelity.

World of Warcraft's WoW token

World of Warcraft's account services and store prices were never cheap, and even basic things such as realm transfers for single characters cost a frankly ridiculous €20. Well, I'm afraid things are going to become even worse as Blizzard has just announced a price increase for account services in the EU and UK.

Starting on April 5th Character Transfers will be €25/£19, WoW Tokens will be increasing in price for the UK alone and will set you back £17, and if you were planning to boost a character you might want to do it soon as the Character Boost will go from €50 to €60/£49. You can find the full list of updated prices by heading over to the announcement post.
