After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, fans finally got Shenmue III this past week.

XCOM: Chimera Squad and Gears Tactics released a week apart. Both are turn-based strategy games that are spinoffs — the former for 2K’s XCOM franchise and the latter for Microsoft’s Gears of War series.

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem made quite a splash when it launched back in February. It also received a fairly healthy dosage of criticism. As the game nears the one-year anniversary of its official release, the developer has announced that its first free DLC will be releasing “soon.” The DLC is named Chronicle I: Bloodtrail, and is said to bring new content and even improvements to the base game. If the 55% mixed average on Steam is anything to go by, the game could really use the latter....
