Today, the alternate timeline shooter has launched its first major update—that comes with a new DLC episode, ten new combat simulations, and a number of stability fixes, among other things. As for PC-exclusive fixes, the new update hits stability across Windows 10 and Nvidia GPUs, as well as a handful of tweaks and adjustments as outlined here:Improved stability on NVIDIA 10-series GPUs. Forced driver update on driver detect warning message can now be manually bypassed. Improved Win 10 stability

Unlike its retro-inspired 2D sibling Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces has taken a darker, more serious approach to its marketing over the last several months. Shall we look at the launch trailer first? Let’s do that:Admittedly, I’m a fan of old school Sonic dating back to the ’91 original. If you prefer darker, moodier Sonic, then please feel free to tell me off in the comments below. In any event, Sonic Forces is out now for £34.99/$39.99.

Some things you should take into account before you buy Team Ninja’s Souls-inspired samurai vs. demons brawler, Nioh. Last night the opening level suffered from slowdown all over the place, and I couldn’t figure out why. If it does you will find an interesting combat game that owes a debt to Dark Souls while doing enough differently to warrant attention. You play a warrior called William, sort-of based on ‘Western samurai’ William Adams, who in this case learns samurai arts from a book he finds

Nioh is out tomorrow for PC, but I’ll never be able to play it because I’ll never be able to get beyond the brightness slider prompt it opens with after booting it up. As I scroll up and down this very page, the rightmost silhouette appears to flicker between brighter and dimmer shades of grey, as if to mock me. OK, so they’re not the same shade of grey, which I only found out using a photo editor. But I’m looking to match intensity, and I would describe the process as a whole quite intense. “In

After tinkering with All Walls Must Fall earlier this year, Tom billed the moody, futuristic Cold War shooter as “one to watch”. To mark the 28th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, developer Inbetweengames has now launched a new trailer and has halved the game’s Early Access price tag, should you wish to get eyes on it yourself. Set in a futuristic Berlin, players are tasked with utlising “time travel, social stealth and combat” in their bid to prevent nuclear war. The game goes into co

The game’s latest update v1.03 targets a number of fixes—a few number of which are exclusive to PC. Sebastian can now correctly use upgrade chair if Q key has been reassigned. Fixed control issue that could prevent Sebastian from standing up from the slide projector if Q key had been reassigned. Fix a crash that could occur when using Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz. The Evil Within 2’s update v1.03 is live now.

When Shaun covered the Humble Store’s last ‘Racing Sale’ he used the strapline: “I feel the need, the need for affordable speed”. This made me chuckle, which is why I’ve chosen to reuse it. The latest similarly named sale sidesteps recycling, though, and comes with new games—some of which come with 85 percent off. A smattering of DLC for the games listed above and others should also keep those looking for, ahem, extra mileage sweet. Check out Humble’s Racing Sale in full in this direction.

To stock up your library even further, you can use the code FANATICAL10 to get 10% off most games in the Fanatical store before November 19.

Given the task of convincing people to play a text adventure at PAX while surrounded by flashier games with modern innovations like graphics, Josh ‘Cheeseness’ Bush made a booth that drew you in the way text adventures do: with writing. Winter’s Wake isn’t an ordinary text adventure. Like most in the genre it’s written in the second-person (“You are likely to be eaten by a grue”), but Winter’s Wake is also a first-person game with mouselook. PC Gamer: Someone told me it’s best if you go into Win

When you’re done with that, why not grow a moustache? The idea, according to the Movember Foundation, is to “change the face of men’s health.” In addition to pitching in by darkening your lower lip with what is most likely a really shitty looking moustache, you can also participate virtually in Fallout 4 with the Movember Mod. Made by modder Elianora (who also created a ‘Save the Boobies Mod’ for breast cancer awareness, and lots of other mods), the Movember Mod adds wearable moustaches, moustac

In the Indie GIF Showcase, we dig up the best-looking new and upcoming indie games and explore what makes them special. It’s no grand secret that indie developers love them some Metroidvania, but even given the genre’s popularity, developer Cardboard Sword’s The Siege and the Sandfox stands out, and not just because of its name. As you parkour your way around The Siege and the Sandfox’s detailed levels, your character will cause thuds and clangs of varying loudness based on how softly or hurried

That’s because Elgato is now taking preorders for its $400 (£360) 4K60 Pro capture card that it announced at Gamescom this past summer. While not cheap in its own right, it beats paying $900 for a Magewell Pro capture card or $1,000 for Avermedia’s 4K Frame Grabber. “4K content is here to stay and demand is booming. Content creators shouldn’t be limited by the constraints of their capture hardware,” said Julian Fest, General Manager of Elgato Gaming. In addition to capturing 4K content at 60 fps

Strategic flight sim Bomber Crew is fast becoming an autumn success story. “The reception for Bomber Crew has been really good,” Miller told Rock Paper Shotgun. “We’ve got plans for the franchise, not just to take it sideways and do the obvious things,” Miller told RPS. It already has a small $2 skin pack, and a slew of small free updates, as well as larger paid DLCs are in the pipes. Bomber Crew is available on Steam for $15.

Humiliated, Tim asks for help from orc-slaying members of the PC Gamer community, and even developers of Shadow of War itself. In death, Mozû finds unlikely supporters among the PC Gamer staff, becoming an honorary member of the team, as well as the default avatar for PC Gamer commenters.

Total War: Rome 2 came out in September 2013, which by my reckoning means that it’s a little over four years old. That’s the first explicit sign of activity of the Total War: Rome 2 front, but it’s actually not the first recent suggestion of something new coming to something old. Last week, developer Creative Assembly posted an update on its upcoming Historical projects, “because you’re about to hear a lot more about them.” And yes, it’s going to be the next Total War announcement, which is exci

However, if you could get some extra money by selling your old stuff, then the deals could become that much more enticing. Here’s how you can sell your old stuff for the most money before Black Friday begins. You can setup your own Amazon Marketplace page and sell items direct from there. Letgo is an app designed to sell your old stuff to people nearby. Of course, you have to live in a supported area, and people nearby will have to actually want your old stuff.

Barring any yet-to-be-discovered performance issues with hardware I haven’t tested, this appears to be a good PC version. During fights I didn’t notice any frame skipping with max settings at 2560×1080 (yep, it supports ultrawide aspect ratios). If you don’t want to tinker, Injustice 2 includes the option to automatically apply settings appropriate to your hardware. I haven’t encountered noticeable lag, so after several hours with Injustice 2, I’m just about convinced that it could release as-is

On Friday Blizzard revealed Moira, Overwatch’s latest healer, live on stage at BlizzCon. And now you can play her in the latest PTR update, which went live Monday afternoon. Her right hand fires a long-range beam weapon that saps enemies’ health, healing Moira and replenishing her biotic energy. You can see the full patch notes for the PTR update here. But if Mercy uses Valkyrie first, that cast time is dropped back to 0 and her movement speed stays at full.

Planet Coaster’s one-year anniversary falls on November 17. The game’s Anniversary Update won’t quite make that date, but it’ll be close—Frontier Developments has announced that it will be out on November 22, with a scenario editor, new rides, a Staff Management building, new picnic benches, and interchangeable coasters. First, because of course they’re first, the rides: The Weisshorn is a “classic fairground ride,” Frontier said, Hop the Gaps is a “rickety side friction ride,” and there’s also
