14 DAY TRIAL // The reviews department of Softpedia Games is at full strength again and that means we have reviews for four titles this week: PayDay 2, the cooperative four-man heist-focused shooter from Overkill, Europa Universalis IV, the grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studios, DuckTales, in its remastered incarnation, and Space Hulk, a modern take on a classic experience.
We also have the familiar two Weekend Reading pieces: one of them focused on the power of free DLC to keep a game like Wargame AirLand Battle relevant in the long term and another one about Gamescom.
Our new Gamer Diary is linked to Europa Universalis IV and follows the exploits of France as it struggles to dominate the Western side of the continent.
We also deliver an EndWeekGame piece that shows how we will pass our free time.
