Our friends over at Rock Paper Shotgun just dropped their latest weekly roundup, highlighting a fresh batch of games making waves on PC. Deputy Editor James Archer took the reins this week while the rest of the team recovers from post-TennoCon burnout and gears up for industry events like the Develop conference in Brighton. Amidst the team's travels, they still managed to spotlight some intriguing new titles currently feeding the enthusiast maw.
Among the highlights are titles pushing creative boundaries across platforms, including games featuring vertical train mechanics and fresh takes on classic mystery formats. One standout project, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, even leans into modern tech by putting the cosmic entity to work as an AI director. It is a fascinating snapshot of how developers continue to experiment with procedural generation and atmospheric storytelling on PC and consoles.
The timing also coincides with a major milestone, as Rock Paper Shotgun celebrates its 19th birthday.
