This week’s Maw, quantified: One compound eye with nine hundred and two facets of mercury. One and a half wings with the texture of a freshly peeled orange. Fifty tentacles, proboscises, or tendrils, some as slender as cheese wire, some as bulky as a conifer. Ten sets of amethyst dentures shared by ten thousand mouths. One utility cloak of muscle. One bowler hat. And now for an accompanying list of the most eye-catching recent computer games of the week.
Monday, September 23, the blissful brick-and-mortar toybox Tiny Glade and early access to top-down action game SimSTALKER City 20. Tuesday, September 24, just… too many games: fast-paced first-person shooter Echo Point Nova, graffiti mouse sim Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, pixel-creature collecting Beyond Galaxyland and, in Early Access, seedy mech bonanza The Forever Winter, 4X sim Ara: History Untold and fantasy RPG Greedfall 2. Wednesday, September 25, the cheerful roadster #Drive Rally. Thursday, September 26, deck-building dogfights Breachways and arthouse retro horror Mouthwashing. And Friday, September 27, early access to the Chinese Hades-like Realms Of Ink.
Are there any other games that deserve mention? Probably, but look, I’m not made of hyperlinks. Please forward any games I missed to Maw via the comments on the right, and follow this week’s uninteresting and unpleasant attempt at newsgathering in the liveblog below.
