What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says Five Nights at Freddy's? Is it the horrifying animatronics, the extremely deep and convoluted storyline or perhaps the high stress gameplay?
Well, FNaF World is none of those things. It is a cheerful and light RPG starring cutesy versions of your favorite metal abominations and even though it was supposed to release next month it has manifested itself today on Steam. Here's the trailer:

The beta for Torment: Tides of Numenera was originally slated for December last year but had to be delayed until January 17th due to some last minute bug fixing and general polishing-up.
However, even the January 17th release had to be delayed due to some unforeseen problems and the final, 100% going to happen, date for the beta is set on January 21st. Here's the short announcement message:

My excitement for XCOM 2 knows no bounds at this point and its not due to their trailers or press releases but rather Firaxises willingness to involve their most dedicated community members with the game's development even before launch. To me that clearly shows confidence in the game and respect for the community that made XCOM truly great.
In a blog post that went up today Firaxis has announced that Long War Studios, the guys behind the excellent Long War mod for XCOM, are hard at work on multiple XCOM 2 mods that will release alongside the game. Here's the announcement message:

A Boy and His Blob is a colorful puzzle platformer with very stylish visuals and cheerful narrative wrapping all of it up. The gameplay centers around the use of jelly beans in order to transform your Blob friend in to various tool and objects needed to solve puzzles and progress through the levels.
It first released on the Wii a couple of years back to some rather good reviews and is now out on PC & Steam as well, once again with a great reception. Here's the trailer that came along with the release:
The Psychological Indie Horror "Layers Of Fear" Will Be Leaving Early Access On February 16th

The horror genre these days seems to be the dumping ground of "youtube bait" games as I like to call them, games without much substance or any real dread to them, only cheap jump scares.
So when an actually well done psychological horror in the form of Layers of Fear announces its leaving Early Access on February 16th you bet I'm excited even though I'm probably going to chicken out from playing it through to completion. Here's the trailer:

When Mortal Kombat X first released on PC it was an absolutely horrible port despite many promises stating otherwise. It took about two weeks before patches finally made it playable for the majority of the playerbase, not exactly a good launch all things considered. And yet according to Steamspy it so far sold a respectable 500,000 copies.
So what did WB & NetherRealm Studios decide to do in order to thank their playerbase for sticking by them? Announce that Mortal Kombat XL, Kombat Pack 2 and the revamped netcode update will only be coming to the Xbox One and PS4 versions. Here's the quote from a NetherRealm community rep:

The majority of Far Cry: Primal trailers and gameplay showcases so far focused on killing this and murdering that without spending even a single moment to explain why exactly should we hate the differently tattooed enemies.
The recently released King of the Stone Age trailer is just as steeped in blood as all the others but it does give us glimpses towards the overall narrative and the why of things. It also features an incredible rendition of what a Stone Age dialect might look like, no slightly-off English accents to be found here. Take a look yourself:
