And yes, the guys at PCGamer worked a lot during the weekend and that means that there's a part three of the news:

Fly hard, fly fast, drop nukes in this accessible near-future flight combat sim

A new flight sim from an indie studio is picking up attention: In Nuclear Option you're piloting tough, diverse aircraft on a near-future battlefield in singleplayer, cooperative, and competitive scenarios. It boasts realistic flight systems but isn't slavishly devoted to realism, falling somewhere nearer a more arcade flight sim in its objectives but still caring about g-forces and a damage model with lots of parts on your planes to break.

Players that devour games like Resident Evil and Control alike, not to mention the just-released Alan Wake 2, should keep their eyes on an indie that popped up on Steam recently: Crow Country. It's an indie horror game with that vague aesthetic of the PSX era that channels the likes of not just the early survival horror like Resident Evil, but the more esoterically strange and scientific scares of games like Parasite Eve.

Here's a cute, free economic real-time strategy about colonizing and defending a solar system

A free passion project from a team of game devs has released on Steam after a few years in Early Access, and it's entirely free. Planet S is a game where you're dropped, with your single colony ship, into an uninhabited solar system either alone or alongside others with their own ships. From there, it's your job to try and expand to get the resources you need to survive and thrive.

Your new co-op survival horror obsession is about being underpaid and overworked space scavengers

Newly released cooperative horror indie game Lethal Company is getting a lot of buzz from early players. It's a simple setup: You and your crew of three other scavengers drop on to an abandoned moon station, get as many valuables as you can, and get out. If that seems simple, well, there are a lot of ways for it to go wrong, and a lot of them have way more legs than I prefer anything larger than a thumbnail to have.

If Cities: Skylines 2 didn't float your boat, Anno 1800 is free for a week

Anno 1800 gained an impressive score of 84 from us back when it was reviewed in April 2019. Reviewer Rick Lane said this "rich and sumptuous city-builder" was "comfortably the most engrossing city-builder I’ve played since Cities Skylines", but If you've not had the chance to try it then the Anno 1800 Free Week event is an opportunity to find out for yourself. The free week runs from November 2, 4PM UTC, to November 6, 8AM UTC, on PC through Ubisoft Connect, Epic, and Steam.

In Call of Duty's most infamous mission, Infinity Ward was 'basically just trying to think of the most atrocious things that could happen'

October 28 marked 20 years of the Call of Duty series, as part of which some of the key designers have been talking about the greatest moments. (...)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 contained what is still the most polarising level in any of the games. No Russian is an early campaign mission in which an attack is carried out at a fictional Russian airport (Zakhaev International), with civilians being shot by a terrorist group that includes the player character. (...)
(...)
Although the setting of the mission changed from its initial concept of a mall, the core of the idea was always to make the player complicit in an attack on civilians. "I often got questions," says Alavi. "'Did you mean to make something controversial?' And I was like, 'No. That actually wasn't my intention. What I meant to make was something memorable.'"
