This week in PC games: some enormous space sims and strategy games, plus a cheery prop hunt where you paint your own camouflage
June 8, 2026
In a weekend marked by the excitement of the Summer Game Fest, the gaming community emerged relatively unscathed, albeit with some humorous casualties. Neighborhood supplies of ginseng have been thoroughly depleted, and the ability to blink has become a rare commodity. Yet, amidst the chaos, a new installment of Duskers has graced us, along with intriguing glimpses of gunfights in a Fumito Ueda game, which, surprisingly, elicited less distress than one might expect given the circumstances.
Game Releases on the Horizon
In more uplifting news, the enigma of the Maw consuming Geoff Keighley—or perhaps spawning a phantom version of him—has been addressed, albeit without any concrete action taken. The phantom Geoff, with his distinctive flair, is a sight to behold. A closer look reveals the original Geoff trapped within, desperately signaling that “Persona 6 is a lie.” But there’s no time for alarm; the latest list of PC game releases awaits.
Atre: Dominance Wars – A visually appealing, turn-based fantasy kingdom builder where players assume the role of a wizard aspiring to achieve godhood. This title is available today in early access, featuring four factions, the beginnings of a campaign, and a skirmish mode.
Rakeo – For those less inclined towards divinity, this puzzle-platformer invites players to collect cookies in a charming 2D environment.
NBA The Run – A vibrant 3v3 street basketball game characterized by its bouncy, radioactive visuals. Players can execute slamdunks while the game’s camera humorously falters in its attempt to capture the action.
Meccha Chameleon – A fresh take on multiplayer hide-and-seek, where players camouflage themselves to blend into their surroundings, reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater but without the extensive library of camouflage options.
SAND: Raiders of Sophie – This PvPvE expedition and looting game allows players to navigate vast warmechs. A personal anecdote: I once fell off my mech during a solo session and spent a rather disheartening 45 minutes on foot trying to catch up.
33 Immortals – A cooperative roguelike from the developers of Spiritfarer, inviting players to join forces in rebellion against divine judgment.
SpaceCraft – Launching today in early access, this title offers a galaxy of planets to explore and transform into a trading empire. Developed by Shiro, known for War Tales, it carries a reputable legacy, even if the notion of space colonialism raises some eyebrows.
Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions – An early access spin-off of Astroneer, where teams of cosmonauts embark on adventures in star systems populated by creatures with a penchant for incisors.
Don’t Let It Starve – This game promises to teach players the art of crafting bento boxes that inspire joy, all while feeding them to a rather unsettling creature lurking in a hole.
As for the myriad of other exceptional titles that may not have been mentioned, the invitation stands for readers to explore them in the comments section. Meanwhile, within the Treehouse, the focus this week will be on dispatching interview requests and crafting impressions of the numerous games showcased during the Summer Game Fest and its associated livestreams. For now, no further announcements are permitted—be it the Second Coming, a UFO sighting, or even a long-awaited Legacy of Kain sequel. The doors of RPS are firmly closed to any new tidings.
