With Total War: Warhammer 2 just around the corner Creative Assembly has started releasing gameplay previews at a rather rapid pace. Just these past few weeks alone they've posted a Dark Elf campaign overview, a short battle between the Dark Elves and High Elves, a campaign preview for the High Elves, a couple of videos focusing on the Lizardmen, and now finally a video featuring a multiplayer battle between High Elves and Lizardmen.
So if you're interested in seeing how exactly a multiplayer match will play out in Total War: Warhammer 2, or what sort of strategies you'll need to employ in order to survive for longer than a single minute, you'll find the recently posted preview right below. Have a look, its quite an enjoyable battle:

While hit registration was always a bit wonky for Hanzo and Widowmaker due to lag compensation, the recent patch made the problem especially pronounced, so much so that you could hit someone square in the face and not have the hit 'connect'. If you're unfamiliar with these heroes and you're not sure what I'm talking about, here's one of the best examples I could find. Its quite obvious the Hanzo's arrows have connected with Junkrat's body, there's even a blood spray to prove it, yet no damage is actually done.
Thankfully, Overwatch's Lead Engineer Tim Ford has now announced that the team is aware of the problem and that they are working on a solution. Naturally, its not as simple as that, so if you're interested in all of the details you'll find the full quote right below. Have a look, its quite an interesting read:

While Divinity: Original Sin 2 is by all accounts an amazing game, it did launch with a bunch of annoying bugs. For example, the very first hub area has had multiple quests that are completely broken yet seem perfectly functional, which led to a lot of confusion and wasted time among the playerbase. I've personally spent over 20 minutes trying to find a way to continue the arena quest, only to realize that the NPC bugged out and is not giving me the proper dialogue options.
As such, I am very glad to say that Divinity: Original Sin 2's first post-launch update has now arrived, and that it brings with it a whole bunch of bug fixes. If you're interested in all of the details you can find the full patch notes over at Steam, though keep in mind that they contain a variety of spoilers in the form of quest names and objectives.

During the recent E3 convention Bethesda revealed both Fallout 4 VR and Doom VFR (with the F standing for exactly what you would expect), though they didn't offer much in terms of details. Doom VFR has since then received a brief preview, and now it seems its time for Fallout 4 VR to get the same treatment.
So if you're interested in seeing what Fallout 4 looks like in virtual reality, or what exactly the developers are even planning with it, you'll find the most recent preview right below. Its unfortunately a bit light on gameplay, but it should be enough to give you a good idea of what to expect from Fallout 4 VR. Have a look:

Guild Wars 2's much-anticipated Path of Fire expansion has now arrived, bringing with it a whole bunch of new content and quality of life changes. We can now explore the vast regions of the Crystal Desert and the adjoining kingdom of Elona, beat down the Human god of war Balthazar and his metallic minions, test out nine new Elite Specializations, and most excitingly of all, ride around on a variety of mounts that each come with their own unique abilities and effects.
You can get a good peek at what all of this looks like in-game through the recently posted launch trailer down below. Its not the most detailed video, I'm afraid, but it should still give you a good idea of what Path of Fire is all about. Have a gander:
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus now has a new trailer showing off both story and over-the-top action

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus will be sending us to Nazi-controlled America in order to exactly what you might expect: obliterate everything with an arsenal of increasingly over-the-top weaponry. What you might not expect, however, is that The New Colossus will also have a heavy focus on storytelling and character development.
If you're wondering what this story is all about, and how large of an explosion you can cause in the least amount of time, you'll find what you seek in the recently posted gameplay trailer. Have a look, its quite a spectacle to behold:

As you might imagine from the name alone, the Synthetic Dawn story pack is entirely focused on the various robotic factions. It allows you to fully customize your robotic civilization and follow a new chain of story events to transform your mechanical race into an intergalactic AI dominion, oppressed synths can now rebel against their masters and form new empires, and there's even a fallen synthetic civilization just waiting to be discovered in the cold depths of space.
If you're interested in seeing what all of this might look like in game, you'll find the recently posted launch trailer right below. Its not very long, but it should give you a pretty damn good idea of what to expect from Synthetic Dawn. Have a look:

The Humble Store is currently holding an End of Summer Sale, and in order to get a few more eyes onto the storefront they are now giving away the horror game Outlast and its DLC. This offer will only last for another 25 hours, so I would recommend you go and grab Outlast as soon as possible. You don't even need to install it, once its in your Steam account you will own it forever.
If you're wondering whether Outlast is even worth your time, however, I would say that it depends on whether you're a fan of horror games or not. From a purely gameplay standpoint its a bit repetitive as all you really do is run away, but that is easily counteracted by a great atmosphere and some pants-wettingly terrifying scenes. So if you're looking for a survival horror game where you blast away hordes of zombies with a giant shotgun, I'm afraid you won't find that here, but if you're into slow, brooding horror then Outlast is definitely worth playing.

Besides being a pretty damn good game, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has one very important feature that sets it apart from the rest of the genre - a DnD inspired Game Master mode! As you might imagine from its name alone, Game Master mode allows you to create and run your very own campaigns, as well as modify them on the go to better tailor the story to your players. Its a little bit complex, but well worth the trouble.
If you would like to see the Game Master mode in action, or learn how to mess around with all of the available tools, I would recommend you check out the recently posted developer tutorial. The video is fairly lengthy, but thankfully very little of it is pointless fluff. Have a look, its quite interesting:

Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer focused pirate adventure and exploration game where you'll need to search for hidden treasure, pillage ships piloted by other players, and hopefully make it back to port in one piece in order to cash in your booty. In theory its everything one could hope for from a multiplayer pirate game, so hopefully it'll end up being just as good as it sounds.
While its release date is still far off, Sea of Thieves devs have recently posted a video detailing the 10 most important things you should know about before jumping into the fray. So if you're even remotely interested in a pirate adventure you should probably check out the video right below. Have a look:
