Here's what's happening in PC games this week

What in the name of jumping jellybeans is happening to The Maw? Our grizzled regular column summarising all the latest game news is going through some sort of midlife crisis and doesn't know what it wants to be. I can hear it grinding its molars, squelching its many news bladders, and unfurling its long, insipid tendrils. The usual Mawkeeper, Edwin, is away today, so it's up to me to soothe the beast and tell you all the new games being released on PC this week, as well as a hint for some anticipated strategy game news from Paradox Interactive.

I like lists. So let's do this round-up the old-fashioned way. Here's what's coming out.

Yesterday

• Drop Duchy combines the classic tetramino dumping of Tetris with a kingdom managing tactics game. Looks neat!
• Best Served Cold is a murder mystery visual novel set in the speakeasy of an alternative history European city (looks pretty much like the popular vision of 1920s United States). You're the bartender turning detective.

Today

• Among Us 3D will let you snap the necks of all your best mates and betray the trust of those you love. You cannot spell "friendship" without "end".

Wednesday 7th

• Deck Of Haunts is a maniacal mansion deckbuilder where you design spooks for unsuspecting visitors.

Thursday 8th

• Paradox are announcing a big new game, as they've teased in a video, calling it "a new era for grand strategy". Fans who have been reading the developer diaries for the game codenamed "Project Caesar" are certain it's a new Europa Universalis. We'll have more for you soon.
• The Midnight Walk offers first-person horror with fearful doll heads and some of that not-quite-stop-motion animation all the kids love nowadays.
• Sci-fi action adventure sequel Revenge Of The Savage Planet continues its colourful extraterrestrial exploration with four planets to disrupt in co-op.
• Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall is a follow-up to the pixel art kingdom management game that's set in a world inspired by Slavic folklore, where you "collect taxes, hire agents and make difficult decisions".
• Sonic Rumble is a Sonic game, so I don't care.

Friday 9th

• Anoxia Station is a petrochemical horror strategy about slurping up pools of fuel inspired partly by Frostpunk but with its own distinctly creepy atmosphere. Edwin was intrigued by its demo.

That's your lot

Okay, I'm done here. As ever, let us know in the comments if there's anything happening this week that we've missed, but you've got your swivelly little eyes on. The Maw is, at least, placated. Hmmm, docile even. Although it's possible what I'm looking at is actually one of its decoy globules, and the true Maw has squeezed out of its enclosure again. I'll, uh, be right back.
