Caravan gameplay screenshot

While I've certainly established numerous trade caravans during my various Civilization playthroughs, I can't honestly say I've ever wanted to put myself in the shoes of the poor sods that had to trudge through an entire desert in order to bring me untold riches! I can't deny, however, that the idea is somewhat appealing given the rather extreme conditions.

If you're of the same opinion you'll be glad to hear that Caravan, Deadalic's survival /exploration/trading hybrid set in the Arabian Desert, has recently launched on Steam. Rather than just blabber on, allow me to show you the launch trailer. It should give you a good idea of what to expect:

Dishonored 2's clockwork soldiers

With Dishonored 2's November 11th release date just around the proverbial corner, we're now finally getting a detailed look at all of the new stealth mechanics, tools, and abilities. And unlike the previous few gameplay videos, the presenter isn't take the easy way out by simply slicing and dicing through hordes of hapless guards!

As you can probably guess from the title alone, the latest Dishonored 2 gameplay video is a short and sneaky trip through the Clockwork Mansion - an absolute marvel of science, though with more than a fair share of madness to it. If you're interested in finding out what the Low Chaos playthrough in Dishonored 2 is going to look like, this is the video for you. Have a gander:

Super Terraria World pyramid screenshot

I have been playing Terraria for a couple of years now, and every single time I think I've finally experienced everything it has to offer something like this happens! While the previous cases of 'something' were usually official updates, this is going to be the very first time a mod has intrigued me so much that I'd be willing to jump back into Terraria for it.

The mod in question is Super Terraria World - a standalone RPG mod that adds new skills, quests, NPCs, items, gameplay mechanics, as well as a whole bunch of new and expansive worlds to explore. Since all of this sounds too good to be true, allow me to show you the recently posted trailer as it is pretty damn impressive. Have a look:

Industry Manager - Future Technologies screenshot showcasing various companies

If you've browsed through Steam the past few months you may have noticed an overwhelming amount of games whose one and only gameplay idea is to simulate an otherwise mundane aspect of real life. There's a simulator that lets you pilot a forklift, a simulator that lets you experience the thrills of cleaning the streets, and there's even a simulator that puts you behind the wheel of a bus driver - endlessly circling the same routes until either you or the game finally succumb!

Thankfully, the simulator I would like to bring to your attention today is much more interesting. Rather than give you a glimpse at some of the most boring aspects of today's life, Industry Manager - Future Technologies instead focuses on allowing you to create your own business, establish your own production facilities, and naturally, run your competition straight into the ground! If you're wondering what in the world this might look like, here's the recently posted trailer:

Screenshot from the World of Warcraft: Legion version of Kharazan

The raid version of Kharazan released many, many years ago during The Burning Crusade expansion, and while the majority of the content from that era has become either outdated or outright annoying (leveling through Hellfire Peninsula anyone?) Kharazan has remained just as unique as it ever was. Everything from the boss design, to the overall atmosphere, to the few bits of voice acting found throughout the raid - all of it still remains within the collective memory of the WoW playerbase, while most of the other raids from that era have long since been forgotten.

If you need any proof for all of these claims, look no further than the next patch coming to World of Warcraft: Legion as it will be bringing with it Kharazan as a five man Mythic dungeon. If you don't feel like waiting for the patch to slowly arrive, I do have some good news, its currently available on the PTR (Public Test Realm)! So if you feel like reliving the glory days of Kharazan before everyone else - now's your chance! On the other hand, if you're a brand new player and have no idea what Kharazan even is, worry not as Blizzard has also released a brief preview video to hopefully get you acclimated.

Space Hulk: Deathwing gameplay screenshot

The Warhammer 40,000 universe features some ridiculously powerful weaponry, but properly translating them into a video game setting is not an easy task. I mean, how do you create and balance a weapon that quite literally shoots out supercharged balls of plasma that melt through nearly anything?

This is the sort of puzzle the developers behind Space Hulk: Deathwing, a Warhammer 40,000 themed shooter, had to solve in order to make all of the Terminator Space Marines feel as powerful and bulky as we all expect them to be. Whether they've succeeded or not, that you can find out for yourself by checking out the most recent "Arsenal" gameplay video:

Battlerite's Pyro and Croak characters artwork

Battlerite is a spiritual successor to the once excellent Bloodline Champions, and as such it contains the same diverse set of characters, the same intricate balance, and most importantly, the same skill-based combat system. While it does feature the same gameplay mechanics as Bloodline Champions, Battlerite is not a boring ol' clone as it brings with it numerous improvements to both the gameplay and the visuals.

In order to give you an idea of what Battlerite is all about I've prepared a brief gameplay video showcasing two matches with my favorite character - Croak, the Ranid Assassin. Expect to see plenty of poison, jumping around, and a whole bunch of opponents running for their lives! Have a look:
