After a quiet few months, September finally hits the gas, and our list of monthly PC game happenings is filled with brand new adventures, series continuations, 1.0 updates, and events galore. I’m still playing catch-up after Gamescom, and now we’ve got Tokyo Game Show queued up soon. It’s the same schedule every year, but somehow I’m always caught off guard.<\/p>\n

The Blood of Dawnwalker kicked off the month with a delightfully dismal vampire RPG from the Witcher veterans at Rebel Wolves. Then you’ve got all month to suck blood as Coen (or be a good two-shoes and abstain, I guess) before Silent Hill: Townfall and Control Resonant launch on the same damn day. It seems everything I’ve been waiting all year to play has crammed into this 4-week window, and that’s not even counting all the big updates.<\/p>\n

The Witcher 3 Remastered is easily among the most notable updates, and everyone who owns the original gets the RPG’s makeover for free (along with its DLC). It’ll be my first time playing, so between that and Valheim 1.0, I’ll be plenty busy until 2027.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/strong>Steam<\/strong><\/a> |<\/strong> I’ve been loving The Blood of Dawnwalker, but you don’t have to take my broody, vampire-obsessed word for it. Shaun called it “one of best action RPGs [he’s] played in years,” in his Blood of Dawnwalker review<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Silent Hill: Townfall<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

<\/strong>Steam<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>| I have to say it every time: I still can’t believe we’re in a Silent Hill renaissance. I’m hoping Townfall continues this trend of one banger release after another, and from how Fraser explains his time as Simon<\/a> in a hellish version of Scotland, it has a chance. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Control Resonant<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

<\/strong>Steam<\/strong><\/a> | <\/strong>After years of insisting I would not like Control’s gameplay, I finally beat it last month and ate crow. As it turns out, I’m full of it, and I love everything about Control. While I am a little worried about Dylan’s melee brawling, I’ve learned my lesson and will give little brother Faden a fair shot later this month.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

<\/strong>Steam<\/strong><\/a> | <\/strong>The Witcher 3 is another RPG I’m late to the party for, but in my defense, it has a very good and very distracting card game. I don’t know how many times I’ve booted up Geralt’s adventure only to play Gwent for ten hours before stopping, but this seems like a good opportunity to break the cycle. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
