Sorcery! is a four-part single player RPG based on Steve Jackson's Fighting Fantasy books of the same name. The focus is on compelling storytelling, interesting characters and so many branching decisions that even after my third playthrough of Part 1 I'm still discovering entirely new avenues of approach.
Sorcery! originally released on mobile devices back in 2014 to some great reviews and is now finally making its way to the PC & Steam on February 2nd. Here's the trailer:

While I'm not the biggest fan of the Compendium system, mostly because you have to pay money to gain the ability to spend even more money, it does seem that Valve have learned their lesson with 2016 Winter Battle Pass as you can earn a fair chunk of rewards simply by playing well.
The Battle Pass & Compendium combination will set you back $7,99 and offer you plenty of quests and achievements to complete in return for cosmetic items as well as everything you might want to know about the upcoming Dota 2 Shangai Major. Here's a quick overview of the Battle Pass:

Sunless Sea is one of those bizarre games that on the surface doesn't seem like it should be interesting but is actually gripping enough to keep you playing for dozens of hours. Even though I never finished it as the difficulty becomes downright unfair in the "end game" I still think of Sunless Sea fondly as its doomed world, muted graphics and brilliant writing hold a special charm for me.
Which is why I'm happy to tell you that the short gameplay preview of Sunless Sea's upcoming Zubmariner expansion is just as dread-inducing and stylish as the base game. Take a look:

When Heart of Thorns released a few months back it brought with it potentially the coolest thing in Guild Wars 2, the ability to glide. Ever since then I've spent a lot of time jumping off cliffs and flying around, a habit that turns quite fatal when you forget that gliding doesn't work in Central Tyria (the original GW2 map).
Luckily the recently released update fixes that issue by adding gliding to the original GW2 zones as well as a new and improved Shatterer boss fight and many other changes, ranging from quality of life improvements to balance fixes. Here's a short overview of what the patch brought in:

When Origin Access went live earlier this month it launched with only a couple of regions supported, those being the US, Canada, UK and Germany.
And now after a good few weeks of waiting the rest of Europe can join in on the offer as well, and what an offer it is. I know a lot of people have an irrational hatred for Origin and all things EA but believe me when I say that Origin Access is well worth checking out because for €3,99 you get a ton of value.
