Boring narrative aside, Sniper Elite Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is superb at delivering its bread and ballistics gameplay. Focused purely on the art of the kill, CI Games has crafted numerous detailed sandboxes to become the ultimate long-distance predator inside of, resulting in a game that forges ahead and doubles down on its own unique brand of hold-your-breath gunplay. Pure cathartic and exhilarating action with every squeeze of the trigger.

The medieval multiplayer game has been met with far more players than expected which has obviously slightly impacted the state of the game.

Free Lives, the studio that made the 1980s cool with BroForce and introduced the world to the joy of Genital Jousting, is going for a more relaxing approach in its next game. Sort of. Called Terra Nil, the concept is easy enough to understand: The planet has been blighted by all manner of catastrophes, and it's up to you to introduce some green to the scorched landscapes of the world, restoring it to near-mint condition. Nature is healing, with a little bit of help from you.
