Fall is one of the best times of the year! It's nice to sit down with a slice of pumpkin pie while you sip on the ridiculous variety of seasonal lattes and play one of the endless games that has recently released. Afterall, 'tis the season for developers to be pushing to get their games out before the upcoming holidays, but that also means you often have far too many games to play with limited time. Seriously though, how is anyone supposed to play both Borderlands 3 and World of Warcraft: Classic when they released within two weeks of each other!? To make the situation of indecision of what to play even harder, we've got three awesome games to feature in this week's official Wiki roundup!

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the beloved fantasy themed puzzle-platforming Trine franchise, and what better way to celebrate than with the release of Trine 4? Developer Frozenbyte is returning the series to its roots after 2015's Trine 3, a game that didn't quite capture the magic of previous entries in the franchise, in part due to the game's shift to 3D environments for the first time and a story that ended on an unexpected cliffhanger.

Thankfully, Trine 4 looks to be a dream come true for fans and is shaping up to be the most ambitious, visually impressive, and complex adventure in the series yet. Frozenbyte marketing manager Kai Tuovinen recently took the time to answer some questions on what both new players and franchise fans can expect when Trine 4 releases on October 3, and how lessons learned during the development of Trine 3 affected the game's development.
