Oblivion reigns over PC games this week, but there is still time for football, space cats and ghastly mansions

Hello and good New Week to ye, traveller! And my, my - what a New Week it is. We're taking the desperate toil of feeding the Maw to strange new places. I'll spell that out in a separate post to come, once I've caught up on emails during my absence last week and in general, remembered how to do my job, but you may already notice certain sinister adjustments to the format. I welcome any feedback and wanton abuse. In the meantime, here are some new PC games.

It's a quieter one, after Obliviongate last week, but there are some standouts. Monday 28th April brings the programmable robot block building of Icaria - the kind of game I enjoy hearing about but will never muster the neurones to play. Tuesday 29th April? I will delicately avoid Tuesday 29th because Tuesdays are overrated and it's high time somebody said it. Nothing useful, beautiful or truthful ever happens on a Tuesday.

Wednesday 30th April is a day of meaty tribulations, thanks to Slavic manko-horror Moroi... and of joyful spacecat salvation, thanks to immersive sim Skin Deep. On Thursday 1st May, another unusual pairing: Ecuadorian slice-of-life soccer adventure Despelote, and Lovecraftian house mystery The Horror At Highrook. And on Friday 2nd May, it's time for no-roles naval MOBA Sirocco. I haven't played an actual, undiluted MOBA in years. This one has galleons, which might be enough to reel me in.

What's on the news agenda this week? Probably a fair bit more about the Oblivion remaster, which is exasperating young people who haven't quite clocked that it's still an RPG from 2006, with none of the modcons you'd expect from, I don't know, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. We'll also be taking a closer look at Skin Deep and The Horror At Highrook. Beyond that, I've got my eternally uncleansable backlog of interview-based features to pick at.
