If you've recently bought a VR headset and you're now looking for a couple of games to play, you might want to check out the newest Humble Bundle. As the title itself would suggest, the bundle is all about VR games, and features some pretty darn good ones like GORN and Superhot VR.
You can find the full list of games, as well as the pricing tier they appear in, down below. Have a gander, it's a fairly small but quality list:

The PC version of Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne has only just been updated with the Resident Evil 2 cross-over event and Rajang, and already Capcom is teasing some brand new content. As the title would suggest, the content in question are two new and extremely deadly monster variants: Raging Brachydios and Furious Rajang.
And when I say deadly, I really do mean that as both monsters are significantly more aggressive than their common counterparts, all on top of having new and more powerful abilities. Here's a small peek at what they look like in-game, as well as what you'll have to watch out for:

After being exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch for a couple of months now, the action-packed mech game Daemon X Machina will finally be making its way to Steam this February 13th. I must admit it wouldn't exactly be my first idea for a Valentine's Day gift, but I suppose if you're both fans of smashing gigantic mechs with an assortment of ridiculous weaponry, then it might be a pretty good bonding experience in co-op.
As for what exactly Daemon X Machina looks like in-game, that you'll find out through the recently posted PC trailer. Have a gander, it's a pretty informative one:

If you're in the mood for a bit of mindless violence against even more mindless foes, you might be interested to hear that Zombie Army 4: Dead War has now arrived. As you would expect from the name alone, Zombie Army 4 is a completely unapologetic co-op shooter that's all about mowing down hordes of zombies with high-powered weaponry and simply embracing all of the nonsense happening around you.
You can get a pretty good idea of what all of this looks like in gameplay terms, as well as how silly Zombie Army 4 can get at times, through one of the recent trailers down below. Have a look:

[Update #2]: Warcraft 3: Reforged devs have shared a preview of the upcoming Player Profiles.
[Update]: The second major post-launch update has now arrived, and once again it's full of bug fixes and tweaks.
Blizzard released Warcraft 3: Reforged a little while ago, and sadly it ended up being such a disappointment that they even started offering refunds to anyone that wanted one, regardless of play time. However, there is a ray of sunshine on the horizon, as Blizzard recently announced that they are working on addressing most of the community concerns via free updates.
The first of these updates has now arrived, bringing with it some much-needed bug fixes and fairly solid improvements. The bug that would cause campaign missions to instantly end with a "defeat" screen has now been corrected, while some of the wonky animations and timings in the cinematics have been tweaked to be more in line with the original.

[Update]: The Blood in the Darkness map has now arrived, and I'm happy to say it seems to be even better than Old Haunts!
Fatshark announced a little while ago that Vermintide 2 will be getting three new Castle Drachenfels inspired maps throughout Season 2. The first of these three maps, Old Haunts, arrived about two weeks ago alongside an in-game store for cosmetics, overhauled Weaves, and a bunch of balance changes.
However, unlike the Return to Ubersreik DLC which mostly focused on remastering maps from Vermintide 1, the Old Haunts map so far indicates that Fatshark is taking the Castle Drachenfels trio in a bit of a unique direction. So even though Old Haunts contains some elements from Vermintide 1's DLC, it is an entirely new (and quite fun) experience for both veterans and newcomers alike.

[Update #2]: Fallout 76 has now finally arrived onto Steam alongside the massive (and entirely free) Wastelanders expansion.
[Update]: The Wastelanders expansion has now been pinned for April 14th, while a brand new trailer shows off some of the new enemies and allies.
There's no two ways about it - Fallout 76 has been a bit of a mess from the very start, both in-game and outside of it with the whole canvass bag fiasco. There is still some hope for Fallout 76, however, as Bethesda has just announced a massive free update that's supposed to addressed many of the common complaints.
First and foremost, the original main quest will be heavily revamped in order to provide a more engaging experience, both in solo play and co-op. There will also be a brand new main quest with plenty of human NPCs to interact with, as well as some actual choices to make that will greatly affect how you are treated by each of the various factions. How in-depth all of this will be, nobody currently knows, but it's still good to see Fallout 76 actually starting to resemble a Fallout game.

[Update]: Warcraft 3: Reforged devs have shared a preview of the upcoming Player Profiles.
Warcraft 3: Reforged launched a little while ago, and unfortunately it ended up being a bit of a disappointment. The new art style is somewhat hit-and-miss in terms of quality, there are noticeable performance issues in both ranked play and custom games, a variety of new bugs, and most damning of all, a lack of community-focused features like profiles, tournaments or leaderboards.
While the fixes for some of these problems are currently underway, Blizzard has now also made it so anyone can request a refund for Warcraft 3: Reforged if they feel like the experience isn't up to par. All you have to do is head on over to your region's support site, request a refund, and you'll be good to go after a little bit of a wait.

[Update]: The Wonderful 101: Remastered is coming to all three platforms in late May!
If you ever need proof that PlatinumGames have an extremely dedicated fanbase, look no further than their recent Kickstarter campaign. It only launched a few short days ago and simply asked for $49,354, to which the community responded by raising a staggering $1,446,295, with that number still constantly rising.
As for the reason behind the Kickstarter campaign, it is to release a remastered version of The Wonderful 101 on various platforms. Initially only the Nintendo Switch version was on the table, but after the stretch goals were practically exploded through, both the PlayStation 4 and PC (via Steam) versions were also included.
