This Week in Gaming (Week 12)

Welcome to week 12 and a jam cram packed week of rather big new releases. We kick off this week with a AAA release which is an open-world action-adventure that supposedly takes place in a desert, yet apparently not at all. This is followed by a very blocky looking RPG, several deadly sins, a cube of some kind, a walking simulator that apparently takes place on a beach and finally an ARPG that takes place after an asteroid destroyed the world. There are some additional games this week as well, as there were just too many releases this week.

Crimson Desert / This week’s AAA release / Thursday 19 March

On the continent of Pywel, the rival factions of Pailune maintained a tense balance. At Kliff’s side stood his steadfast Greymane comrades, but a devastating ambush in the deep of night by their sworn enemies the Black Bears leaves members of the Greymanes dead or scattered across the continent. Kliff—having lost his family in all but name—is determined to reunite with the survivors and rebuild the faction. Steam link
