https://www.dsogaming.com/news/far-cry-4-redux-mod-is-now-available-for-download-brings-multiple-gameplay-improvements-changes/
BigTinz has released a new overhaul mod for Far Cry 4. Far Cry 4: Redux is a mod that focuses on immersion, and aims to improve the gameplay mechanics of this FC game.
According to the modder, this Redux version of Far Cry 4 allows players to manually reload. It also disables Lens Flares, and allows you to holster your weapons.
Players can now jump higher and walk slower. Players also do not automatically draw their weapons after swimming or after leaving a building.
All weapons are unlocked from the start, though they must be purchased. Towers also remove the fog of war, but do not give free weapons. Not only that, but the full map is open from the start.
>> And those aren't the only changes, described in the article. You can get it from ModDB.

You can now experience the first The Witcher game in VR & Unreal Engine 4, supports Oculus, HTC & WMR
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/you-can-now-experience-the-first-the-witcher-game-in-vr-unreal-engine-4-supports-oculus-htc-wmr/
The Witcher fans, here is something for you today. Patryk Loan has released a brand new project that allows you to experience the first The Witcher game in VR. This “mod” currently supports Oculus, HTC, and Windows Mixed Reality.
Before continuing, let’s clarify something really important here. This project does not bring mod support to the vanilla game. Instead, the modder is remaking some of the game’s maps in Unreal Engine 4 with VR support.
At the moment, this project only features one map, Kaer Morhen. As such, players can walk and explore the iconic castle in VR. There aren’t any combat mechanics, and you should not expect to find any enemies.
>> You can find it at Nexus Mods.

https://www.pcgamer.com/doosk-is-a-doom-2-mod-thats-full-of-weapons-from-dusk/
The newly released Doosk mod ports all the weapons from the fast-paced action game Dusk into the classic FPS Doom 2. Available to download on ModDB, The mod not only ports Dusk's weapons but also an array of features like game achievements, mutators, and an optional ZMovement.
The coming together of two of game's goriest retro shooters was uploaded by AlphaEnt and includes a bunch of features beyond just weapons. A few highlights are the custom HD that recreates the look of the original Dusk, an intruder mode where you start a level with only sickles for those who want a challenge, and the inclusion of ZMovement called "Dusk movement" that allows players to move around as you would in the original Dusk game. The mod description also says there will be a bigger Big John than Big Jon, keeping the meme from Dusk's developers New Blood Interactive alive.
