http://www.pcgamer.com/might-magic-heroes-vii-gets-free-lost-tales-of-axeoth-dlc/

The first of a free, two-part DLC campaign for Ubisoft's Might & Magic Heroes VII called The Lost Tales of Axeoth is now available. Called Unity, it follows the story of Genevieve Seymor, who sets out to collect lost spells and create a new philosophy of magic in the wake of the world-destroying Reckoning.

 

FIRAXIS IS "WORKING VERY FURIOUSLY" TO FIX XCOM 2 PERFORMANCE ISSUES

http://www.pcgamer.com/firaxis-is-working-very-furiously-to-fix-xcom-2-performance-issues/

XCOM 2 is an outstanding game that unfortunately suffers from performance problems, sporadic but some quite serious, that have diminished the experience (and the framerate) for a number of players. Publisher 2K Games said last week that it was aware of the complaints and “gathering more information from users,” and today Lead Designer Jake Solomon told Rock, Paper, Shotgun that developer Firaxis is “working very furiously” to get the game running properly.

 

BIOWARE ASKS, "WOULD YOU PLAY A DRAGON AGE TACTICS GAME?"

http://www.pcgamer.com/bioware-asks-would-you-play-a-dragon-age-tactics-game/

I don't think I've ever played a BioWare game for the combat, but when faced with the question, "Would you play a Dragon Age Tactics game? (Tactics as in a game like Fire Emblem or XCOM)", my answer has to be a resounding yes. Partly because I bloody love tactics games like Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, and partly because it's always interesting to see Dragon Age being bent into a different shape.

>>Yes, I would (try it)

 

GIANTS: CITIZEN KABUTO SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR FIRST WONDER CANCELLED

http://www.pcgamer.com/giants-citizen-kabuto-spiritual-successor-first-wonder-cancelled/

First Wonder, that Giants: Citizen Kabuto spiritual successor I mentioned last year, has been cancelled. This isn't entirely surprising news, given that the Kickstarter failed, but at the time the team seemed hopeful that development might continue, with the aid of another funding source. That never happened, and so developers Rogue Rocket Games have emailed backers to inform them of the bad news. Here are a few quotes from that email, courtesy of Reddit:

BIOSHOCK: THE COLLECTION RATED FOR PC

http://www.pcgamer.com/bioshock-the-collection-rated-for-pc/

The Brazilian Advisory Rating Board has revealed another game. Or rather, a collection of games that have been on PC for ages now, so it's not nearly as dramatic as that Quantum Break PC leak the other day. They've rated some mysterious object named BioShock: The Collection for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and I am just mystified as to what it could be.

 

DYING LIGHT WILL GET MORE DLC IN 2016, TECHLAND PROMISES

http://www.pcgamer.com/dying-light-will-get-more-dlc-in-2016-techland-promises/

Dying Light got a major expansion earlier this month in the form of The Following, and all reports suggest it's very good. In fact, Techland's post-launch support for the game has been impressive overall, with modding support and new features rolling out steadily during 2015. Some might assume that The Following is the last hurrah before the team moves onto the inevitable sequel, but no: more DLC is coming this year.

 

NELLY COOTALOT: THE FOWL FLEET FINALLY OUT NEXT MONTH

http://www.pcgamer.com/nelly-cootalot-the-fowl-fleet-finally-out-next-month/

One year and six months ago I wrote about Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet, a nice-lookin' sequel to piratical freeware adventure Nelly Cootalot, that I'd pretty much completely forgotten about until I saw this exciting news. That news being that whoa, Nelly finally has a release date: March 22. The Fowl Fleet features the voices of Tom Baker and Thomas Reiner, among others (he's big in germany, apparently), and visually it's changed a lot since the Adventure Game Studio original, something creator Alisdair Beckett-King details here. Smartly—considering Germany's huge point and click community—the game is fully voiced in both English and German. It's also been translated into several other languages, for your reading pleasure.

 

THE BLACK DEATH IS A GRIM SURVIVAL GAME SET IN MEDIEVAL TIMES

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-black-death-is-a-grim-survival-game-set-in-medieval-times/

The Black Death is a medieval survival MMO, and as you might expect it's quite a grim one at that. Case in point: one of the classes is named 'Peasant'. Peasants are good at agriculture and foraging, not so much at the old killing, and like the other classes they'll try to survive against the pox-ridden bubonic backdrop of medieval times.

STELLARIS DEV DIARY EXPLAINS ALLIANCES AND FEDERATIONS

http://www.pcgamer.com/stellaris-dev-diary-explains-alliances-and-federations/

Impossibly promising grand sci-fi strategy Stellaris continues to intrigue, the latest dev diary explaining just how Alliances and Federations are going to work. To cut a long story short, if you're in an Alliance with a bunch of other civs and you want to do a war, you'll need to get the approval of all the other members—so you'd better declare some goals for the war that will benefit your allies too. If your galactic chums don't fancy a war, you can always leave in a huff and make a go of it on your own—alternatively, if things are just peachy between you, maybe you'd like to take things to the next level and form a Federation?
