This week in PC games: vert-ramping trains, a retold murder mystery, and Cthulhu’s new gig as an AI Director
July 13, 2026
Merry Monday, readers. As we navigate the week, it seems Edwin has been sidelined by a post-TennoCon illness. We’ve graciously allowed him some much-needed rest, provided he submits his stories on Soulframe and Warframe: Tau before succumbing to his feverish state. In his absence, we’ve taken on the task of feeding the Maw, though we’ve yet to reach an agreement regarding the litter tray responsibilities.
New PC Games This Week
This week brings a fresh batch of PC games to explore. Here’s a glimpse into what’s hitting the market:
Ascend to Zero: A sci-fi action-roguelike that introduces temporal manipulation to its engaging, Hades-inspired combat rooms.
Forensics: Crime Scene Detective: Step into the shoes of a science cop, managing fingerprint and bullet striation comparisons reminiscent of the captivating crime dramas from the 2000s.
Soulforge Lost Path: This title seeks to minimize randomness in its Survivorslike/bullet heaven gameplay by challenging players to manage a limited inventory while crafting new weapons from looted resources.
D-Topia: A “gentle-paced” puzzle adventure where players must maintain an AI-managed society in a state of algorithmic bliss.
The Incident at Galley House: An eerie visual novel remake of William Rous’ murder mystery text adventure, featuring a unique device that replays past conversations.
Happy’s Humble Burger Cult: A “cooking horror” game for 1-4 players, where you flip patties while evading monsters. While the game looks promising, I must admit I preferred its original title, Happy’s Humble Burgatory.
Moss: The Forgotten Relic: A 3D platformer that combines elements from Polyarc’s VR titles, Moss and Moss: Book II, now available for non-VR PC players.
Storebound: Emerging from early access, this cooperative horror puzzler set in a mall launches into version 1.0, introducing its fifth and sixth episodes.
Wreck Runners: A multiplayer experience where players shoot and loot within a haunted Bermuda Triangle, primarily using gravity guns reminiscent of Half-Life 2.
Fogpiercer: A tactical roguelike deckbuilder that challenges players to equip and defend a train as it journeys through a post-apocalyptic landscape. No appearances from Chris Evans, though.
Frozen Ship: This first-person survival game, launching in early access on the 17th, revolves around navigating a snow-covered vehicle and ensuring the survival of both yourself and the miniature city aboard.
In other news, today marks RPS’s 19th birthday. While we celebrate this milestone, a grander celebration awaits our 20th anniversary, as we prepare for a more significant occasion. The team is a bit scattered in the coming days—Julian is off to the Develop conference in Brighton, Edwin is recuperating with Lemsip, and I’ll be taking a brief holiday after Wednesday. Rest assured, we have plans to keep the content flowing, and as always, we welcome your suggestions for any games we may have overlooked in the comments.
