http://www.pcgamer.com/hyakki-castle-the-edo-japan-dungeon-crawler-will-be-out-in-november/
Hyakki Castle, as we saw in September, is a grid-based dungeon crawler—think Eye of the Beholder if you're old, Legend of Grimrock if you're not—that trades conventional D&D-style fantasy trappings for the 18th-century Edo period of Japan. Today publisher Happinet revealed the launch date of November 15, and also a new trailer that showcases some of the monsters and puzzles you'll encounter in the castle's haunted halls.

Boyfriend Dungeon is an isometric action game with procedurally generated dungeons and, crucially, swords you can romance. Part dungeon crawler and part dating sim, Canada-based developer Kitfox Games' "shack-and-slash" is built around personified, dateable weapons who players must woo in order to grow stronger and "plunder the 'dunj.'"

>>I thought only japanese made crazy dating games. I guess I was wrong.

Ubisoft has kicked off a "Halloween-inspired" event in For Honor called Feast of the Otherworld that adds a monstrous new mode to the game called Endless March. It takes place on Dominion maps, but features skeletons in place of soldiers, and they're a lot more dangerous than the usual fleshy hordes of minions.

http://www.pcgamer.com/team-fortress-2s-jungle-inferno-update-will-launch-today/
Normally it’s pretty hard to halt an inferno, but Team Fortress 2’s Jungle Inferno update, which was meant to launch yesterday, seems to have been more of a small blaze. Valve is rectifying this, fanning the flames and adding some finishing touches, and it should be out today.

After 25 years, the Star Control series has almost returned.

The Dueling Fates, Dota 2's next update, will be out on November 1
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-dueling-fates-dota-2s-next-update-will-be-out-on-november-1/
Valve’s been tormenting Dota 2 players for a while now. The 7.07 update, The Dueling Fates, was coming, but when? And what would it bring with it? There were teasers, sure, but not much solid information. Lost and confused, players started wandering the streets, grabbing strangers and demanding to know when The Dueling Fates was coming out. The strangers didn’t know.
But now we all do! Finally, Valve has announced the release date for the big update, and it’s soon: November 1. Now everyone can just relax.

^I think I've heard an horror gasping in horror .

Thanks for sharing!

Isn't that what Steam is about, getting games on offers and sales to never play them???

I'm so upset. There was a deal for an Asus GTX 1080 on Ebay sold new by Newegg for 470$ and I woke up this morning and it was sold out with the price going back up to 500$

Would have been a nice upgrade from my 970

Well, I try to keep my Steam library as clean as possible

That's a shame, it would have been a very nice upgrade.

At leack Black Friday is close enough, so it's possible that you'll be able to find an even better deal for a 1080 .

Yep hopefully

It's crazy how big the jump is. I looked at game benchmarks and it's usually 20-90fps.
