The Maw: what’s new in PC gaming this week?

Happy Monday everyone! Yes, I wrote it completely honestly. We all deserve a happy Monday – maybe video games can help. As you’d expect, Elden Ring’s recently released Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC remains the Big Kahuna this week, with no obvious mega releases on the horizon to break his stranglehold on discourse, but I’ve dipped my latex-gloved hand into the pregnancy pools. and fished out a few promising oddities.

Monday, June 24 will kick off dungeon solitaire Dice & Fold. On Tuesday, June 25, we got a remake of the 90s mystical point-and-clicker Riven — now with a real-time 3D environment, shock — along with the magical realist high school visual novel Until Then and the Argentinian folk horror Pomberito, in which a farmer must survive five nights while investigating the local beast. Skipping ahead to Thursday, June 27, there’s some Orpheus DLC for RPG musical Stray Gods and a 30-player launch for last-person-stand ’em up Battle Crush. On Friday, June 28, an early version of OUTBRK’s tornado-chasing simulation is available, allowing you to track rogue weather on a 625 square kilometer map.

Here at the RPS Treehouse, we’ll be spending a good portion of the week feeding Maw freshly cut pieces of Erdtree, but we’ll also be running our mitts on a co-op anime shooter that I won’t spoil, digging up long-forgotten Aliens games, and maybe making time for a stylized retro FPS or two. The Maw would normally consider this Spartan style, but there’s so much molten Elden Ring DLC ​​running through his cyclopean veins that I think we can get away with it. Even the maw needs time to digest.
