This Week in Gaming (Week 18)
Welcome to the last week of April and this week’s major release is based on a popular comic and animated series, but we’ll let you figure out which one. The week kicks off with some big white trolls, followed by what is said to be a spiritual successor of Garry’s Mod—for those of you that are old enough to remember that one—and a rat project that seems to involve magic. Next up we have a huge turn-based grand strategy game and we end the week with a new take on chess that somehow is a rougelike. Don’t forget to check out the additional new release this week as well.
