Hello and happy this week all! Goodness, it feels oddly cramped in here. Strangely… abbreviated. Ah, I see: the Maw has eaten a couple of weekdays again. In accordance with what governments are even now hurriedly white-washing as “the Easter bank holidays”, we’ll be ending this week on Thursday 17th April and returning to work on Tuesday 22nd. But do not despair, for the remaining days are thick with new PC games. Here are the ones I find most interesting.
On Monday 14th April, the release of The Fool’s Apprentice – a wizard academy management game with mildly sociopathic god sim elements. Also Repose, a black-and-white dungeon crawler in which you scour the bowels of a Company for oxygen cylinders. Oh and Stygian: Outer Gods (pictured), which may be a work of subtler Lovecraft than the title suggests. On Tuesday 15th April, it is time to snap pics in Lushfoil Photography Simulator, XCOM-municate mutants in Chains Of Freedom, and get sokoban confused with Portal in Lab Rat.
On Wednesday 16th April, there’s Dive The Depths – lot of roguelike, splash of bullet hell, maybe a bit of Noita. I’m also moderately piqued by Haunted House Renovator, in which some blemishes need to be wallpapered over, and others, exorcised. Portal Fantasy? A little from column Zelda, a little from column Pokemon. On Thursday 17th April, a “mildly anticipated” triple-attack in the shape of physics-abusing platformer Bionic Bay, first-person chasm-climber White Knuckle, and foetid action-RPG Mandragora: Whispers Of The Witch Tree. Friday 18th April has been devoured, as noted, but if it hadn’t, we might have spent it with open world glide ’em up Lost Skies or swinging autobattler Electro Bop Boxing League.
Assuming it’s a bank holiday where you are, do you have any plans for the long weekend? Playing a new PC game that isn’t listed above, perhaps? Let us know about it in the comments. Find our latest, possibly shortest news liveblog below.
