[Update]: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous' The Lord of Nothing DLC has added 15 new archetypes and a lengthy side-story to explore.
After a fair bit of time in development, the excellent CRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has now made its way to consoles. It has done so alongside the sizable Enhanced Edition update which brings with it a a wide array of fixes and quality of live improvements, along with the ability to play through the entire game with a controller on PC if you so wish.
PC players can also look forward to being able to customize their character's appearance by recoloring and reforging their armor, wasting less time shuffling through their inventory thanks to the new search function, as well as diving deep into the stats behind each battle with the enhanced combat log. Most importantly of all, the Enhanced Edition has added new quests and dialogue for the end-game, so roleplaying the different mythic paths should be a more interesting affair.

[Update]: Following Stadia's shutdown, its first exclusive game Gylt is now heading to other platforms.
According to an announcement that came so suddenly not even the employees knew about it, Google is shutting down their game streaming service Stadia. The servers will be going down on January 18th, 2023, so even if you're halfway through a lengthy RPG you should have more than enough time to wrap things up.
Most importantly, all Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store, and all game and add-on content purchases made through the Stadia store will be refunded. The majority of these refunds will be completed by mid-January, though don't be too surprised if it takes a while longer for everything to get finalized.

Much like Overwatch from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, Gundam Evolution is a 6v6, objective-based shooter where each mech brings with it a unique assortment of weapons and abilities to mess around with. As such, success is less about pure aiming prowess and more about knowing how to best utilize the synergies between your team's mechs in order to push back your opponents and secure objectives.
Since purely talking about an FPS game is a bit of a pointless endeavor, allow me to share with you the launch trailer. That should give you a pretty good idea of just what Gundam Evolution is trying to do, as well as what types of mechs you'll be able to pilot. Have a look:

[Update]: Dune: Spice Wars has now launched from Early Access alongside mixed reviews, mostly because the previously teased story-focused campaign has not been implemented.
Things are about to heat up in Dune: Spice Wars as Shaddam IV, the 81st Padishah Emperor, has decided enough is enough. He has now personally arrived onto Arrakis to sort the whole mess out, bringing with him highly advanced technology, legions of powerful Sardaukar warriors, and a considerable amount of political weight to throw around.
When it comes to the actual gameplay, the most exciting thing about the newly unleashed House Corrino is that they can deploy two main bases! You'll need to reach 5000 hegemony to be able to do that, but needless to say, being able to have a second main base close to your opponents is something well worth pursuing.

If you've had your fill of minor events and challenges, you might want to mark November 10th on your calendar as that's when Dying Light 2's very first story-focused DLC Bloody Ties will be launching. The highlight of the expansion is a massive arena where you can fight against hordes of enemies in twisted recreations of classic fables, and if you're itching for something a bit more difficult, even highly mutated monstrosities in special trials.
Along the way you'll get to explore a brand new area, mess around with the new Shield Glove weapon, and as is tradition, obtain all sorts of fancy gear and weapons to spruce up your build. As for the story, much of it is currently shrouded in mystery, but what I can tell you is that you will be helping your new friend Ciro in his quest to avenge his brother's death and discover what sort of dark secrets lie at the heart of the tournament.

[Update]: MultiVersus Patch 1.03 has added Rick Sanchez and doubled exp requirements for early character levels
When Morty first made his way to MultiVersus back in August, all signs were clearly pointing towards Rick following suit shortly afterwards. However, the MultiVersus team decided to go in a bit of a different direction by first releasing Gizmo from Gremlins as a part of a surprise update!
A few weeks have gone by since then, and I'm pleased to say that Rick is now finally getting ready to make his big debut. No exact release date has been announced just yet, though you can expect to see Rick Sanchez arrive in the near future.

[Update]: The release date has finally been announced! You can expect to see Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales land onto Steam and the Epic Games Store on November 18th.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered landed onto PC back in August, and unlike some of the previous PlayStation ports like Horizon Zero Dawn, it did so with fully polished gameplay and very few technical issues. Given its massive success, it really shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to hear that Sony is now bringing the follow-up game onto PC as well!
Once it arrives at some point in Fall 2022, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will bring with it a brand new storyline to explore, a variety of new powers and attacks to help spice up the gameplay, and naturally, a whole bunch of new locations to swing around... or into! Here's a small teaser of what all of this looks like in action on PC:

After years of watching players dismantled hordes upon hordes of murder-bots, Generation Zero studio Systemic Reaction is now looking to tackle something a little bit different. As such, the upcoming Ravenbound will be a challenging open world action-roguelite set in an universe heavily inspired by Norse mythology.

The whole thing will run from September 29th to October 13th, so you should have plenty of time to explore the content on offer, give the developers some much needed feedback, as well as see where exactly you stand with Ravenbound's gameplay.
