This Week in Gaming (Week 10)

Welcome to the first week of March, which kicks off with a major release from Bungie, that is not part of its Destiny universe, but rather part of a series that the company first released back in 1994 and is the fourth game in the series. If first-person shooters aren’t your thing, then maybe running your own tavern is more your style? Or how about breeding and training horses in ancient Mongolia? Maybe hunting monsters in the fellowship of a cursed hat? Maybe a relaxing deck builder is more your cup of tea? Or finding lost items in a cozy world?

Marathon / This week’s major release / Thursday 5 March

Infil into the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV: A derelict colony rife with rival Runners, hostile UESC security forces, and unpredictable environments. As you scavenge its zones for valuables with a crew or alone, tense moments of exploration break into fast-paced PvP combat where gunplay is responsive, supplies are finite, and preparation is rewarded.
