This week in the world of PC gaming releases, it seems like the games are strategically planned by an unseen „AI Director“ akin to Left 4 Dead. The week starts off slowly, with a few games trickling in on Monday and Tuesday. However, as the week progresses, the intensity ramps up, culminating in a flurry of new releases on Thursday and Friday.
Monday, August 12th sets the tone with a sense of desolation, as empty alleyways and the sound of weeping fill the air. Tuesday, August 13th brings the wordy wizarding of Leximan, a game that still offers a Steam demo for players to try out. Wednesday, August 14th brings a sense of foreboding with a distant fell chorus and a hair-raising experience.
But it’s on Thursday, August 15th, that the floodgates open with a plethora of new releases. From the early access launch of the laidback factory sim Shapez 2 to the parsing, pointing, and clicking adventure of The Crimson Diamond, there is something for every gamer. The day also sees the release of Arco, a game that combines bloody fisticuffs with llama-based exploration, as well as Gourdlets, a town-building game that offers a Steam demo for interested players. ODDADA, a madcap musical toy game, and Just Crow Things, an avian mischief game, also make their debut on Steam. Sins Of A Solar Empire 2 rounds out the day with its Steam release, although it lacks a demo.
But the onslaught doesn’t end there. Friday, August 16th, brings a final wave of new releases, including the woebegone sheepdog odyssey Farewell North, the pint-sized Zeldalike Castaway, the cosmic junk salesman Pawn Planet, and Feed The Deep, a Lovecraftian roguelike from the developers of Fruit Ninja.
Throughout the week, the gaming community is kept updated with live coverage and commentary on the latest news and releases. From the open-sourcing of Anodyne 2 to the acquisition of Tango Gameworks by Krafton, there is always something new and exciting happening in the world of PC gaming.
In conclusion, the week’s lineup of new PC releases is a testament to the diversity and creativity of the gaming industry. Whether you’re into factory sims, point-and-click adventures, town-building games, or Lovecraftian roguelikes, there is something for everyone to enjoy. So gather your team, brace yourself for the onslaught, and dive into the world of gaming this week.
