This Week in Gaming (Week 38)

Welcome to the second half of September and what is nothing but a jam packed week of new game releases. The week kicks off with an almost two-year old PlayStation game that has something to do with Norse mythology gets launched on PC, although it does come with the DLC included and it's not capped at 60 FPS. As for the rest of this week's new games, we have a packed week starting with a lot of spell casting, another PlayStation game, but this time we're taking a JRPG of the highest rank, which is followed by a souls-like RPG game. Next up we have Dr Dr, which oddly enough isn't German at all, followed by another highly anticipated game that involves frozen punks. If there's nothing you like this week, you're most likely not a gamer.

God of War Ragnarök / This week's AAA release / Thursday 19 September
The sequel to the critically acclaimed God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarök picks up with Fimbulwinter well underway. Kratos and Atreus must journey to each of the Nine Realms in search of answers as Odin's forces in Asgard prepare for a prophesied battle that will end the world. Along the way, they will explore stunning, mythical landscapes, and face fearsome enemies in the form of Norse gods and monsters. As the threat of Ragnarök grows ever closer, Kratos and Atreus must choose between the safety of their family and the safety of the realms. Steam link

GoW: Ragnarök is finally here on PC? :eek:

Dammit, I've just come back from a holiday and bought Space Marine 2. No cash left for another AAA title. Maybe during the Christmas sales? :rolleyes:

Some good stuff this week !
Just started God of War, the old one, but not the one on PS2, the first in the Northern saga :)
A bit disapointed for now, reminds me The Last of Us with more action ...

Too busy playing Cyberschmunk 2077. Which I got into after patiently waiting for years to get patched up. What a fantastic game.

God of War Ragnarök already? I thought it would come mid 2025!
I have to finish The Last of Us and Alan Wake 2 The Lake DLC that's coming next month first.
At least I managed to finish Phantom Liberty (all endings) yesterday.

"The Spell Brigade" is pretty much a magicka clone

the one that interest me is frostpunk 2, as long as they add a difficulty slider and when it's free on epic, just as i got frostpunk 1

Did you try the demo?

I am sure God of War will be strong but could Final Fantasy 16 supplant Space Marine 2 at the top of the Steam Global sales. Will it catch Wukong in 3rd behind the Steam Deck for $373 CAD (274 US)?
