The era of endless Voidlords and charging 5/5 boars might, just might, be drawing to a close.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds latest map, Sanhok, isn't complete. Each test period introduces subtle changes in the geometry, details, and layout of buildings.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a really good game (we selected it as our game of the year for 2017, remember, and we can be pretty picky about these things), but apparently it's not quite good enough. Developer Larian Studios is working on a Definitive Edition version of the game that's set to come out in August for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and owners of the original on PC will get it as a free upgrade.

It lets you limit slots in your crew to friends only, which seems like a good way to stop players abusing the brig to lock up their teammates. 12 hours later, the feature was disabled because it was causing server instability, and it still isn't back online.

Omensight, which came out yesterday, is how I imagine the film Groundhog Day would've turned out if it was written by a fantasy author. You play a powerful warrior that has witnessed the destruction of the world, and you have to repeatedly relive the day it ended and change the course of history.
