This week in games: Quake Champions, funky Mass Effect faces, and a Civilization VI demo

It's Saint Patrick's Day for some of you, and you know what they say in Ireland: "Kiss me, I write about video game news." Think I heard that somewhere. This week we've got Mass Effect's animation woes, an ultra-detailed sailing simulator, confirmation that Quake Champions will be free-to-play, a Civ VI demo, more free Planet Coaster content, and a collection of Capcom's licensed Disney platformers for the NES. Recently released RTS Halo Wars 2 now has a try-it-out option on the Windows 10 Store, featuring the opening campaign mission (it's pretty short) and the Blitz Firefight mode that also showed up in the beta earlier this year. I wouldn't be surprised if the game's sales are a bit sluggish, so it makes sense for Microsoft to try and snag players.
