Once upon a time Telltale was a small indie company that was almost singlehandedly holding the narrative-driven point & click genre from the brink of oblivion, a notion that sounds insane these days given the popularity of The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and many others.
But if you're among those that haven't experienced the wonder hidden within these games, you're in luck as the Humble Telltale Bundle is offering 11+ mostly excellent games for $12, which is quite the bargain for the amount of existential dread they will cause you.

I've played Dark Souls 3 for over 25 hours now, and I have not encountered even a single bug or crash despite trying to in order to test the PC version, but unfortunately, some where not so lucky as there seems to be a fairly wide spread crash-to-desktop issue when approaching bonfires.
Thankfully, there does seem to be a solution. According to the Steam Forums, the crashes are related to some kind of a bug within the lighting system, and fiddling with it can result in a perfectly stable Dark Souls 3 experience. There's two confirmed ways you can go about this:

Ark: Survival Evolved has some rather imaginative mods on the Steam Workshop, but rare few can match the amount of effort the solo developer behind Ark: Moon Survival underwent in order to bring the action all the way into outer space.
While it might sound like a one-off joke, the Ark: Moon Survival mod is a "proper" total conversion that swaps the lush jungles and green plains with the waste emptiness of space, and the surface of the Moon itself. Perhaps its best if you see for yourself, here's the brief trailer:

While I am not the biggest fan of fighting games, I have enormous respect for Skullgirls as it has managed to wrestle its way in to the fighting game scene purely through the strength of its gameplay and the stylish art work, there was no big name to push it through.
And if that wasn't good enough already, the previously PlayStation exclusive Ultimate Edition of Skullgirls is making its way to Steam tomorrow in the form of the 2nd Encore Update. Here's the brief trailer and what exactly you can expect from the 2nd Encore:

I don't think anyone is surprised that Titanfall 2 will once again be featuring the iconic mechs, but I'm sure many among you will be delighted to know that some of those mechs will carry gigantic swords!
This little tidbit of information comes from the recently posted Titanfall 2 teaser trailer, which is a nice word for "announcement of an announcement". Still, its a rather nifty thing to behold, so have a look:

Every single bit of information the developers behind No Man's Sky released so far was related to exploration, aliens, and sometimes even exploring aliens, but never did they go in to detail on what exactly you do in the game.
Thankfully, that is no longer the case as IGN has managed to sit down one of the developers, and over the course of a 20 minute long video go over the various gameplay features such as: gathering and crafting, combat, trading, and why exactly you want to explore these randomly generated worlds.

The latest Rust update brought with it lighting improvements, numerous map changes, a whole bunch of balance and gameplay fixes, and most importantly, female models after promising them many months ago.
While that would be a perfect update on its own, Rust has managed to stir up the community by removing the character creator, and permanently assigning everyone their gender, appearance, and penis size (you read that right) based on their Steam ID.

Despite never playing any of Evolution Studios' titles (MotorStorm series, Driveclub, etc.) it was still rough hearing about Sony laying off the entire company after having them make well-received PlayStation exclusives for over a decade.
Thankfully, Codemasters have come to the rescue, and have picked up the majority of Evolution Studios employees with the intent to make a company that's all about creating the very best AAA racing games.
