Morrowind Rebirth 3.5 update is fixing plenty of bugs as well as doing a lot of balancing

Morrowind Rebirth is a long standing Morrowind mod that changes the game in subtle but very important ways. It includes everything from bug fixes through combat and balance improvements to new NPCs, loot, enemies and so much more. My point is, Morrowind Rebirth was a really good mod when I first tried it years ago and its only been getting better ever since.

In the recently released update 3.5 you can find plenty of bug fixes and weapon balance changes but most importantly... TOILETS!

Crowfall developers detail their Vessels system as well as how advancement will function

Crowfall is a rather interesting upcoming PvP-focused MMO where instead of grinding your way through levels in order to finally access raids or end-game PvP you'll be able to join the campaign battles from the get go. This naturally led to questions on how exactly the advancement system will work but until now we didn't know the specifics.

In a recently released video Crowfall developers talked about the changes they're making to the vessel system as well as how advancement is going to function.

My recommendations for the Steam Winter Sale of December 29 through December 30

I haven't done one of these recommendations the past few days as I really didn't see that many games which were both good and on a decent discount.

However, today's rotation on the Steam winter sale brought with it quite a few good deals so here are my Steam sale recommendations for December 29-30:

Terraria trailer is showcasing new the new grappling hook, crimson enemies, new graphics and more

I'm looking at my Steam account right now and it says I played 200 hours of Terraria, an absolutely insane number for what I originally thought would be a funny little 2D Minecraft clone. What I got instead was a rather unique game with plenty of things to do and regular content-filled patches that kept me hooked on it for months at a time.

And now, watching the teaser trailer for Terraria: Otherworld I can't help but feel that Terraria itch calling me to once more for a final playthrough. The trailer, titled Swing Grappling, showcases the new and improved grappling system, some rather pretty visuals and a scary new rendition of the Crimson, have a look:

The Ship developers are looking for some alpha testers to help them out this January

If you've never heard of The Ship: Murder Party you've been missing out. It is an online multiplayer murder mystery game where you are given a quarry to track down and kill while evading your own hunter in the process. The gameplay is probably best described as a sillier and more in-depth version of Assassin's Creed multiplayer but most importantly, it a really fun experience, especially with friends.

The reason I'm mentioning all of this is because I saw on Reddit that the developers Blazing Griffin are looking for more testers in order to ensure that the Remastered (or Remasted as they call it) version of The Ship ends up being as polished and as balanced as possible.

So if you're willing to give an improved version of The Ship a try for free while helping the developers out with some bug-finding now's your chance.

The Long War was a truly excellent mod so to see the team behind it branch off in to actual game making is great news

XCOM and its expansion Enemy Within occupied much of my time the past year, the combination of slick graphics and tactical decision-making simply proving too irresistible. However, as I played the games for the second and even third time it became quickly apparent that while the early game progression is satisfying the mid to late game simply goes by too quickly to ever enjoy properly.

This is where the Long War mod came in and completely revolutionized how I play XCOM. Suddenly there were even more classes, even more choices to have and an alien AI that was capable of matching me during long campaigns, in other words everything I wanted out of XCOM to begin with.

My detailed review of UnderRail, an isometric turn-based indie combat RPG with plenty to offer

UnderRail is an isometric, as oldschool as it gets, turn-based CRPG set in a post-apocalyptic future where the surface has been rendered uninhabitable and the remnants of the human population now live, and war against each-other, in metro tunnels and caverns surrounding them.

It features an in-depth character creation system with plenty of skills and perks to chose from as well as a nice variety of options when it comes to dealing with problems, everything from talking your way out of them to simply shooting the problem in the face.
