Skullstone is an upcoming 3D grid-based dungeon crawler inspired by genre classics such as Dungeon Master and Stonekeep, as well as more modern games such as Legend of Grimrock. What this means in gameplay terms is that you will spend a lot of your time hopping along the dungeon floor, cleaving through hordes of enemies, falling into deviously concealed traps, and naturally, searching for a variety of secret chambers.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in action, wonder no more as the developers have recently posted a gameplay trailer. Before you dive in, however, do bear in mind that the footage is from a fairly early build, so chances are there will be numerous improvements by the time Skullstone actually launches. Here's the video:
Mass Effect 2 is free on Origin for a "limited time"

If this title sounds a bit too familiar, don't worry as you haven't gone insane... at least not yet! Mass Effect 2 has been free on Origin since January, but with Mass Effect: Andromeda just around the corner I figured I would give everyone another heads-up. So if you've never played a Mass Effect game, but are interested in seeing what Bioware has cooked up with Mass Effect: Andromeda, then I would definitely suggest you take EA up on their offer and grab Mass Effect 2 for free.
The only catch is that you will need to install Origin in order to actually play it, but honestly that shouldn't be too big of a problem. Despite the vast amounts of hate being thrown at it, the Origin client is both reliable and easy to use, so don't worry about it messing with your playthrough in any way.

Hollow Knight is a hand-drawn 2D action adventure that will have you face off against monstrous hordes of enemies throughout a vast and interconnected world. It was successfully Kickstarted back in 2014, and after a refreshingly drama-free development period it has now finally arrived for PC and Mac.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in gameplay terms, you'll find the launch trailer down below. Its definitely a bit of a strange one, but it should give you a pretty good idea of the sort of mood Hollow Knight is going for. Have a gander:

With Mass Effect: Andromeda's release date fast approaching I'm sure many of you are wondering whether you're going to need to update your rig in order to actually play it. Well, wonder no more as EA has finally released the official system requirements.
As you might imagine, you'll need a modern PC in order to run it on anything besides minimal settings. On the positive side, if you can already run Battlefield 1 without any problems you're most likely going to be fine with Andromeda as well given that the system requirements are almost identical. And speaking of which, here they are:

If you're itching to get back into Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, you might be glad to hear that the second and most likely final story DLC "A Criminal Past" has now arrived. Throughout the short campaign you'll need to pose as a convict and infiltrate a high-security prison, track down and retrieve sensitivity information, and ideally make it out without raising too many alarms.
For those of you looking for a bit more information here's the recently posted launch trailer. As far as spoilers are concerned there's pretty much nothing to worry about given how the video covers only the basic plot elements, so feel free to give it a look:
