The Maw: Latest Updates in PC Gaming This Week

Happy this week, all! And what a fine week it is for feeding the Maw. I’ve slipped on my lead-plated exosuit, stocked my enchanted utility belt with open beta announcements, and am ready to dispense some news. Here’s what’s coming down the games industry oesophagus in the next few days.

On Monday 24th March, it’s time for Sonokuni, a biopunk 2D action game with one hit kills and time-bending. But perhaps you’d rather give wastelands a makeover in shape-matching city builder River Towns. You like building stuff but prefer card synergies to shape-matching? Here’s Kingdom Of Cards then. Galloping onward to Tuesday 25th March, we discover zombie-bothering FPS Killing Floor 3 and cosmic dungeon builder The Deadly Path. On Wednesday 26th March, I’m out of the office, but don’t let that stop you trying mech RTS Grit And Valor 1949 (pictured above), dinky ocean clean-up sim Spilled!, or procgen chaos gremlin spelunker Mother Machine. On Thursday 27th March, it’s time for post-apocalyptic Lake District escapade Atomfall, noir comic adventure-puzzler Your House, the splendidly surreal ENA: Dream BBQ, and ripped anime action game The First Berserker: Khazan. And on Friday, 28th March, the launch of fancy Simslike InZoi. People who liked The Outer Worlds might prefer Within The Cosmos.

As ever, the above games are just those I have haphazardly hooked from the news chutes in my efforts to appease the Maw. There will be other new games out there in the darkness that are equally worth mention, and only you – yes, you! – can find them. Our comments thread is down the page there, sensuously entwined with this week’s latest live news blog. Have a good one.
