While you do briefly get to play as Ciri every now and then, many have been asking if CD Projekt could maybe make a new game plus mode with her completely replacing Geralt.
And while the mods showcased today don't exactly fit that bill (the voice-work will still be Geralt's) they will allow you to both play as different characters from The Witcher 3 as well as have some of them as companions so you don't go insane just talking to Roach all day.

GOG is bidding farewell to some of the most classic oldschool PC games out there: Duke Nukem 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Balls of Steel and Manhattan Project.
The reason for this removal is some sort of issue with the rights-holders but GOG is working on bringing them back as soon as possible. All Duke games will be on sale until December 31 so if you're up for chewing some bubblegum and kicking ass now would be the time.

Race the Sun, for those that never played it, is a runner-style racing game where you go forwards at breakneck speeds trying to avoid various hazards as you... well, try to race the sun. Its a relatively simple game but really well done and the few euros I spent on it I would consider well spent.
And now the developers behind it, Flippfly, are asking you to chose which of the prototypes they've prepared is worthy enough to become a fully fledged game. Here's a brief video from the developers explaining the concept:

This Week In PC Gaming is an easy way to catch up with all of the news that you might have missed this week, organized in such a way that you can get a brief overview on all of the stories and from there you can jump to the ones you're interested in.

[Update]: After many years and many delays, Freedom Planet 2 will finally be launching on September 13th, 2022.
If you don't know anything about it think of Freedom Planet as a modern Sonic game but actually done with love and passion. It is a fast paced action platformer with colorful graphics, tons of humor and plenty of challenges for you to conquer. While I don't see it mentioned online very often it still acquired quite the cult following since its 2014 release.
And now we have an official announcement for Freedom Planet 2 along with a trailer showcasing the story and the new big bad. Take a look:

With the post-Christmas lull in full effect and nothing of importance happening I opted to use a bit of my time and see what mods to grab for a new playthrough of The Witcher 3.
And as luck would have it the most popular HD texture mod, The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project by Halk Hogan PL, recently got a major update that makes the open world of the Witcher 3 even prettier so I felt I should showcase it to you if you don't frequent modding sites yourself.
