Happy Mawday to all readers out there. This week, I’ve found myself pondering the many faces of the Maw—not just the usual Lovecraftian tangle of teeth and tentacles, but more subtle, unsettling forms. Sometimes the Maw appears as something as simple—and eerie—as a blinking cursor, or perhaps the vague discomfort of guilt over an unreturned text. It might even show up as a crowd waiting eagerly for news on the latest PC games.
Speaking of which, there’s plenty to dig into on that front. Editor King Julian has been impressively on top of providing a lineup packed with fresh releases. Among the highlights are the long-anticipated Hytale, a survival and crafting world that’s been generating buzz for years, and Quarantine Zone, which mixes post-apocalyptic tension with shooter mechanics. On a different wavelength, there’s a strange new Batman sim that promises a departure from traditional superhero fare, leaning into the weird and unexpected.
Then there’s a slew of RPGs and shooters dropping this week, each offering something different for players looking to dive into new adventures or test their aim. Whatever your preference, this batch of games ensures that the Maw’s hungry audience won’t go wanting. If you’re looking to add some fresh titles to your library or just want to keep a finger on the pulse of PC gaming’s eccentric heartbeat, this week delivers.
