I'm a big fan of PvP, and have given most of the titles on our list of the best multiplayer games a fair shake over the years. But Delta Force surprised me with its monumental rise and baffling staying power. What looks to be a fairly standard shooter is rivaling the likes of Apex Legends for concurrent player count.

However, despite the huge number of players, it sits at just a 'mixed' Steam rating, with recent reviews trending downwards, 63% of which are negative.

New Enshrouded update Wake of the Water brings one of the most long-absent features to the world: the titular wet stuff. The fantastical, open-world survival-crafting creation of developer Keen Games has always had a lot going for it. Id certainly rank it not only among the best survival games in recent years, but also one that really stands out from the rest of the pack mechanically. However, its been notoriously dry until now. As the team prepares to unleash water across your Enshrouded worlds, I spoke with creative director Antony Christoulakis to learn how deep the simulation goes, and what it means for your existing characters.Read the full story on PCGamesN: New Enshrouded update Wake of the Water totally transforms the world, but its dev was "mindful not to destroy your base"
