Welcome to the middle of October and a slight shift in pace, as this coming week has multiple big releases, albeit no AAA launches. Our top pick for this week involves strapping yourself into a massive, walking machine of destruction in a franchise that kicked off all the way back in 1989. This is followed by some galaxy conquering, a friendly wolf and its human friend, you starting up human civilization on a new planet, a Roman style city builder, silence please and something unknown that's waking up.

MechWarrior 5: Clans / This week's major release / Thursday 17 October
In MechWarrior 5: Clans, players take on the role of a newly graduated pilot from the Smoke Jaguar cadet program, thrust into the heart of the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere during Operation Revival. This pivotal moment in the MechWarrior universe sees players leading a five-mech "Star" squad across numerous planets with diverse biomes, engaging in an expansive campaign filled with immersive gameplay and intricate combat encounters. Armed with customizable BattleMechs featuring cutting-edge technologies, players explore a wealth of tactical options and strategic possibilities. Steam link




Starborne: Frontiers / Monday 14 October
400 years from now, Earth has perished, and humanity has made its home among the stars. The struggle for a place in space has left a lasting legacy of internal conflicts and brutal faction wars. The galaxy is divided among 10 warring factions, each with its own agenda. Factions like the Children of the Everliving seek eternal life at any cost, while MPL aims for profit, and Tianchao combats corruption with vast spy networks. Steam link

Eden Crafters looks like hybrid between Satisfactory + The Planet Crafter.
 
I'm not a fan of horror in general, but A Quiet Place is an excellent movie. I'm wondering how one can make a game out of it. I guess it'll all come down to things like level design and equipment usage.
 
Unknown 9 is going to be quickly unknown.

Leave the identity politics out.

Just enjoy games, or don't. But please leave the baggage at the door.
 
MW5 Clans... strikes me as a DLC, but gets presented as a new game... with the old game's name? What's going on? The past DLCs were also super vague in how they slotted in and what they offered.

Yeah, I actually triple checked it wasn't a DLC.

Those screen shots looks more than updated then a stand DLC vs MW5, I'm hopeful but waiting for the reviews or a price drop if it is nothing more than a stand alone DLC.
 
Citadelum looks exactly like Caesar 3 :D
It looks pretty close. I'm going to have to reinstall that, and save myself some money. Even so, IMO the best in that series was Children of the Nile. That was a timesink!
