This Week in Gaming (Week 49)

As we enter the last month of the year, the first week of December starts with a movie based AAA title that is likely to be popular with some and loathed by others. The rest of this coming week's releases aren't quite as impressive, with one exception it seems. However, you can look forward to a mix of underworld dreams, some 4X space action, eggs, another post-apocalyptic MMO and a horror game.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora / This week's AAA title / Thursday 7 December
Abducted by the human militaristic corporation known as the RDA, you, a Na'vi, were trained and molded to serve their purpose. Fifteen years later, you are free, but find yourself a stranger in your birthplace. Reconnect with your lost heritage, discover what it truly means to be Na'vi, and join other clans to protect Pandora from the RDA.
Svarog's Dream / Monday 4 December
In Svarog's Dream, you will have absolute freedom to explore the world and make decisions.
However, freedom comes with consequences; over time, your actions will shape the world around you, either for the better or worse.
Stellaris Nexus / Tuesday 5 December
Time is a valuable currency in our everyday lives and we all know how much time a really good 4X game can take to complete. What if you could have a 4X game that can be played in the time that it takes you to do the laundry? Stellaris Nexus is a multiplayer turn-based 4X clash for galactic dominance, played from start to finish in about an hour!
Bad Egg / Wednesday 6 December
One egg stands alone vs an army of zombie chickens! Get to the chopper or you're clucked. A free-range frenzy from the eggheads behind Shell Shockers, Slayaway Camp and Plants vs Zombies.
The Day Before / Thursday 7 December
The Day Before offers players a uniquely reimagined journey into post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival set in the present day on the US East Coast following a deadly pandemic.
Abtos Covert / Friday 8 December
You are in a remote military outpost at Mount Abtos and you're tasked to guard it. The only things visible from there are an old shrine and the forest. Many are afraid of this infamous outpost because of the local folklore stories. Actually, too many stories... Will you be safe, all alone?

AusWolfI want it too! :( On Steam (or at least GOG)! :cry:
Bought a key for £45, better than £60

I don't mind the ubi launcher, it's the only one other than steam i will tolerate.

Since 90% of my games are on Steam, I don't see the point in getting it somewhere else. I use 3 computers at home, I want family sharing and in-home streaming that only Steam has. The only other store that has any reason to exist is GOG because they offer offline installers. All the rest of the launcher arsenal is just useless clutter with no useful feature whatsoever in my opinion.

So it's either Steam for me, or I'll obtain it through "other sources" while Ubisoft decides to launch a Steam version.

No doubt if it comes to steam i will buy it there and not bother with the ubi version, i did exactly the same with farcry6. But if i want to play a new game and it is ubi only, i will buy it there if it is the only way to play it. Ubi is not that bad, i don't even notice it, the other crap on ubi does not bother me, i just ignore it and just use it for launching whatever games i have on there.
