Another week of PC game releases is upon us and oh heck, slow down. There are an alarming number of games out this week that I want to play, from large-scale 3D productions to itty-bitty time-killers, each sinisterly appropriate to my Steam stats and wider research interests. Are videogame publishers andThe Mawin cahoots to overwhelm me with impulse-buys and sabotage my attempts to Report the News? It’s possible. It’s possible. The Maw can be pretty cunning for an indiscriminate force of cosmic famine. The creature has been known to forge alliances with misguided mortals, seeking to flank and overwhelm harried news writers. How else to explain Phil Spencer’s T-shirts?

But let’s not worry about that for the moment. Without further ado, here’s a list of PC games out this week thatI, for one, consider worthy of a click, if not necessarily a purchase: low-poly vertical shmupDark Gravity(19th Feb); floral/insectile bullet hellNidus(19th Feb); dieselpunk Advance Wars homageEmpires Shall Fall(19th Feb); roguelike not-PokerBalatro(20th Feb); faerie survival simNightingale(20th Feb, early access); biopunk side-scrollerSlave Zero X(21st Feb); Skynet-era RTSTerminator: Dark Fate – Defiance(21st Feb); build-optimising action-RPGLast Epoch(21st Feb); post-apocalyptic car-whispererPacific Drive(22nd Feb); hellish feud ‘em upSolium Infernum(22nd Feb); primordial horror management simThe Tribe Must Survive(22nd Feb); claustrophobic desktop shmupWindowkill(23rd Feb).

As ever, let us know if I’ve missed anything obvious, like a newHalf-Lifegame or something. Also as ever, you can follow our efforts to sift good news stories from the currents of the interweb in our weekly liveblog below.

Our live coverage of this event has finished.
