It’s a brand new week in Computer Game Land, and right now, I am playing a nasty little survival sim called “Beating Jetlag”. I landed back in the UK from GDC on Saturday afternoon, and my brain and eyeballs still feel as though they’re being gently sautéed in a medicinal blend of oil and vinegar. The sun and sky bear down with a terrible, holy light and I can’t seem to conjure any warmth into my elbows. In the street outside, a small dog is barking. Soon, very soon, I will catch that dog, place it in a box and FedEx it to China.
But what care you for my moderate fatigue and melodramatic posturing? Without further ado, here are this week’s new PC game releases of note: spaceship defence FPSSentry(25th March, early access); free-to-play survival MMOPalia(25th March); dark fantasy metroidvaniaEnder Magnolia: Bloom In The Mist(26th March, early access); historical 4XMillennia(26th March); island city-builderBulwark: Falconeer Chronicles(26th March); party-based RPG remasterGeneforge 2: Infestation(27th March);Grandia-style wizards RPGTerra Memoria(27th March);Gone Home-esque mysteryOpen Roads(28th March); hand-drawn alt-history festFelvidek(29th March).
Our live coverage of this event has finished.

I’m not sure if this got Mawed while I was at GDC, but it’s been fascinating to follow the reaction to Dragon’s Dogma 2’s Dragonsplague mechanic - it’s a disease that spreads between AI-controlled Pawns when they circulate online, which may cause Pawns to go on murderous rampages if left untreated.
