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 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:

Hollow Knight's very first free content update arrived last month, and already the developers are announcing the second wave. The upcoming Grimm Troupe patch will add a brand new major quest and accompanying boss fights, 4 new charms that grant unique new skills and abilities, a whole bunch of new enemies to fight and friends to chat up, as well as a variety of general improvements and quality-of-life changes.
While the recently posted teaser trailer won't exactly give you a good look at all of the new features, it will at least get you into the right mood. Have a look, its quite a short video:

The latest in the Marvel vs Capcom series has now arrived on PC and consoles, though I'm afraid the public reception isn't exactly stellar. I haven't played it myself as I'm not much of a fighting game fan, but according to the Steam user reviews Infinite suffers from a fairly boring roster, dated visuals, and an abysmal singleplayer story. So if you consider any of that a dealbreaker you should probably wait a few months and see what happens when Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite gets all of the planned updates and DLCs.
If you need a small example that showcases all of these problems in action, as well as what the general gameplay is all about, you should check out the recently posted launch trailer down below. Its cheesy to the point of hilarity, though that's par for the course with fighting games. Have a look:

After what feels like an eternity of waiting Rocket League will soon start supporting local multiplayer. In other words, you'll be able to host and join LAN matches for up to eight players without ever needing to connect to the Internet! Besides this fairly major addition the update will also bring in a brand new seasonal map by the name of Farmstead, as well as numerous improvements to both Wasteland and Starbase Arc.
There are also a whole bunch of minor changes to go over, some of which are cosmetic in nature, so its probably for the best that you check out the recently posted teaser trailer. Its not very long, but it will give you a pretty good idea of just what to expect from the Autumn Update. Have a look:
