After the incredible success of the HD remake of TY the Tasmanian Tiger the developers Krome Studios are now back again with its sequel - TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue. Much like the original, TY 2 will be spending its first few months in Early Access in order to iron out any potential issues, add a variety of audio and visual improvements, and to see what the community wants in terms of new features.
If you're wondering what the HD remake of TY 2 might look like in gameplay terms, wonder no more as the developers have recently posted a brief trailer showcasing the improved visuals. Have a look:

The official remaster for Pathologic was successfully Kickstarted back in the ancient times of 2014, and after quite a few years the developers now finally have a playable demo for everyone to toy around with. The Marble Nest demo will take you around two hours to complete, and while its essentially a short spin-off story it should still give you a good idea of what exactly Pathologic is all about.
If you'd like to check out a trailer before diving in head-first you'll find the recently posted teaser down below. And don't worry about spoilers because the entire video is focused around atmosphere and bizarre imagery. Anyway, have a look:

[Update]: Orisa has now arrived to the live servers (both PC and consoles) alongside a sizable balance patch!
Overwatch's 24th hero Orisa spent the past three weeks on the PTR, and after a surprisingly low amount of changes she is now finally coming to the live servers as well. To be more specific, you'll be able to mess around with Orisa at some point later today, most likely three hours from now.
However, according to Blizzard's recent announcement you will not be able to choose Orisa in Competitive Play for an entire week after release. But worry not, she will be fully available in every other game mode: Quick Play, Arcade, Play vs AI, and even in custom games.

Back in July Sega announced that we will be getting two new Sonic games in 2017: one inspired by the original classic, and the other a modern 3D game. The first game turned out to be Sonic Mania, and if all of the recent preview trailers are any judge its going to be one hell of a Sonic game given how closely it emulates what made the original so good.
As for the 3D Sonic game, it has now finally received an official title alongside its very first gameplay trailer. So if you're interested in seeing what Sonic Forces is all about, here's the recently posted teaser video showcasing what I can only assume is the first level:

If you've stopped playing Mass Effect: Andromeda due to technical issues on the PC it might be time to give it another spin as a new update has just arrived. There are unfortunately no official patch notes, but what I can tell you is that the update brings with fixes for the black screen bug, multiplayer sound issues, and problems with the Corsair Utility Engine.
According to Mass Effect: Andromeda's Producer Fernando Melo there will also be some server side fixes coming in the near future, possibly even today. Once again there is no detailed information, but the upcoming changes should finally make some of the clearly bugged Challenges actually completable.
P.A.M.E.L.A. Review - A promising but still unfinished survival-horror
- By Ash
- in Reviews
P.A.M.E.L.A. is an open-world survival-horror game set in the once utopian city of Eden, now nothing more than a breeding ground for otherworldly monstrosities. As you might expect given its genre P.A.M.E.L.A. features plenty of exploration and passive storytelling, resource management, and tense situations where combat might not always be the best option.
Much like the vast majority of survival games out there P.A.M.E.L.A. is currently in Early Access, which means it is both unfinished and unpolished. So if you're interested in finding out whether the current version of P.A.M.E.L.A. is even worthy of your attention, allow me to give you my thoughts on the gameplay presented so far, and you can decide from there.

Conan Exiles is an open-world survival game that expects of you to carve your own little piece of heaven in a land that would love nothing more than to devour you whole. As you might expect given its genre, Conan Exiles features plenty of rock and tree smashing, crafting, and trying to survive in a server full of extremely bloodthirsty madmen that will kill you on sight for a pair of flip-flops.
If you're wondering what all of this looks like in action, wonder no more as I've created a ~20 minute video showcasing both character creation and general gameplay... as well as a miserable death at the hands of a hyena. Have a look:
